Bobby Brown didn’t need permission to make his own decisions, but it seems he regrets this one.
Two decades after Britney Spears released her cover of his 1988 song “My Prerogative” with the help of his co-writer Teddy Riley in 2004, the Grammy winner shared his thoughts on the track.
“Britney Spears butchered ‘My Prerogative,'” Bobby told Shannon Sharpe on the April 16 episode of the Club Shay Shay podcast. “Teddy Riley produced it, but that was a butchering. I couldn’t take it.”
“I cleared it only because it was Britney Spears,” he continued, adding that he felt secure in the decision since Teddy was a major part of the OG version.
E! News has reached out to Britney’s team for comment and has not heard back.
But for the New Edition member, it appears that there aren’t any covers of his songs that have impressed him yet. As he bluntly put it, “I don’t think they really did justice to any of the samples that they have done to my songs.”
