Birtney Spears gives cryptic nod to Justin Bieber

Britney Spears has just made an eyebrow-raising social media post for Justin Bieber, seemingly firing back at critics.

The Toxic singer typically only features herself in her flashy Instagram posts, so her coming to the Daisies singer’s defense seems out of the ordinary.

In the post, the 43-year-old re shared an image from the Baby crooner’s photo-shoot for his surprise album Swag II to her page, in which he is posing with his son, Jack Blues.

The one-year-old, whom Justin shares with wife Hailey Bieber was turned away from the camera, while he himself stares straight ahead.

"Shame on those who judged my home in my pajamas !!! I’m in love with this picture !!! So so beautiful !!!,” Britney wrote in the caption, tagging the Canadian singer for the picture credit.

The confusing caption appears to be an attempt made by the If U Seek Amy singer to simultaneously fire back at her own haters and also defend Justin.

The Stuck With U singer faces constant criticism from online users, with allegations ranging from drug abuse rumours to broken marriage claims.

Notably, Britney has also been the target of many concerned netizens, who wonder if her mental health and wellbeing are compromised since ending her conservatorship.

Have Britney Spears and Justin Bieber ever collaborated?

No, Britney and Justin have never collaborated not a song, but the pair have met in the past.
