• Britney Spears is not having it
  • She has responded to criticism from Ozzy Osbourne
  • THIS is how she broke it down

In an electrifying turn of events, Britney Spears, pop icon and dance sensation, has unleashed a fiery Instagram tirade against rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, following his less-than-flattering comments about her dance videos.

Dance Drama: Spears vs. Osbourne

The digital drama unfolded after Osbourne voiced his weariness of Spears' dance clips on a recent episode of 'The Osbournes Podcast', sparking a heated exchange that has fans and foes alike glued to their screens.

The controversy kicked off when Ozzy Osbourne, accompanied by wife Sharon and daughter Kelly, lamented the "sad" repetition of Spears' dance videos on YouTube.

Not one to take things lying down, Spears hit back with a vengeance, extending an invite to actress Kate Beckinsale (50) for a joint photoshoot and a not-so-subtle suggestion for the Osbourne clan to "kindly f--- off."

Spears, renowned for her chart-topping hits and mesmerizing dance moves, didn't just stop at a clapback.

She took the opportunity to champion the cause of mutual support and personal growth, sharing her experiences teaching dance to teenagers and calling out the "incredibly cruel people" in the world.

Her message? Be careful who you let into your life and stand tall against judgement.

The "Toxic" hitmaker began the post by praising Beckinsale's 2001 movie 'Serendipity', saying she adores the actress, 50, "especially because she's from London," calling Beckinsale "badass" for responding the way she did on Instagram.

"I know what it's like to be judged so it's a ridiculous and stupid subject initially but I think it's important to HELP EACH OTHER and invite each other to places that help our souls grow !!!" she added, claiming that she'd been teaching a dance class for teenagers.

Adding fuel to the fire, Spears applauded Kate Beckinsale's defiant stance against critics of her "age-appropriate" fashion choices.

Beckinsale, who recently dazzled in a pink bikini ensemble on Instagram, echoed Spears' sentiments, inviting detractors to find joy in their bold expressions of individuality.
