Chiiile, Bobby Brown is finally letting folks know how he really feels about Britney Spears’ 2004 cover of his iconic 1988 anthem, ‘My Prerogative,’ and he is NOT holding back!
During a recent sit-down on Shannon Sharpes ‘Club Shay Shay’ podcast, the New Edition legend kept it all the way real when asked about artists flipping or sampling his music. And lets just say, he wasnt exactly throwing compliments.
“I dont think they did it justice,” Bobby said bluntly. “I dont think they really did justice to any of the samples that they have done to my songs.”
He wasnt done! The 56-year-old icon zeroed in on Britneys version of ‘My Prerogative’ from her 2004 ‘Greatest Hits‘ album and lets just say, he was less than impressed.
Teddy Riley produced it, but that was a butchering that I couldnt take it,” he added, admitting he only cleared the track because it was Britney and Teddy Riley. “I was thinking ‘Teddys doing it too,’ so you know”
Bobby added the experience taught him a major lesson when it comes to licensing his music.
“I gotta hear it [before clearing it] because you dont know what these kids will say these days. These kids say some sh*t that you dont want your song associated with it,” he added.
While Britneys version did put a new generation on to the track durin a wild era in her career, its clear Bobby wasnt here for it at all.
