Britney Spears’ child support payments to her ex-husband Kevin Federline are reportedly nearing their end, sparking a ‘funny’ celebration among her fans.
The singer married Federline in 2004, and the couple had two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
In 2006, Spears filed for divorce, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’. Federline gained full custody of their children that year, with Spears’ conservatorship limiting her visitation. Her visitation rights expanded in 2008, and a 2019 agreement allowed her 30 percent unsupervised custodial rights.

Today marks Jayden James’ 18th birthday, signalling the end of Spears’ child support payments. Sean Preston turned 18 on September 14 last year.
Reports indicate Spears has paid over $5 million in child support over 17 years. Initially, she paid $20,000 per month, which doubled to $40,000 in 2018.
A source mentioned, “The amount of money Britney has given Kevin for the two boys is extraordinary. It is enough for any man to support an entire family, which is what she believes he has done.”
Spears’ fans are celebrating the end of these payments by promoting her song “Work B***h.” The 2013 track encourages hard work to achieve luxury. Fans seem to be sending Federline a message through the song.
A fan account tweeted, “Tomorrow Britney fans will be buying and streaming ‘Work B***h’ to celebrate Kevin Federline no longer receiving child support from Britney Spears.”
Supporters quickly joined the trend, posting screenshots of themselves listening to the track. One user tweeted, “I’m sorry this is so f***ing funny.”
“Hold on, this is funny as hell,” another added.
“Britney stans are really top 3 [favourite] music fandoms,” wrote another user.
The song has entered the top 100 on US iTunes and currently sits at the 33rd spot.
Representatives for Spears and Federline have been contacted for comment.
