Here’s something I didn’t see on my 2022 BINGO card… a Britney Spears and Selena Gomez feud.

Last we knew, SelGo was attending Brit’s wedding to Sam Asghari and the two were fawning over each other.

I mean, this past July, Britney was praising Selena for her friendship and even admitted that she appreciates having the singer in her life.

Selena even sent Britney pieces from her La’Mariette swimsuit line in 2021 during the thick of her conservatorship battle.

The “Slave 4 You” singer recently took to Instagram with a series of photos showcasing her body in a red bikini.

'The Nerve Of Women' Who Bash Others For Showing Their Bodies On IG

She initially captioned the post, “Don’t you just love the nerve of women who stand firmly getting awards and speak on their beliefs about not showing their bodies on instagram ???!!!!! They say ‘This is NOT something I would do’ yet those women are the very ones who get 4 million dollar budget videos made about sucking and licking on homemade ice cream ?!!!!”

In true Britney caption fashion… her thoughts didn’t end there.

“These other girls have nothing but beautiful bodies !!!! Who cares if the flaunt it ??? THEY SHOULD !!! So the next time I see someone with a big budget video sucking on lollipops ? yet giving righteous speeches shaming other women for exposing their bodies, I would like to tell those people don’t be a hypocrite as you suck on your lollipop having HUGE budget dreams … why would you stand firmly against girls getting attention JUST LIKE YOU and they have absolutely nothing ????” her caption concluded.

However, Britney has since deleted that caption and replaced it with three red roses.

So where does Selena come into the equation.

Well, in 2016, the “Kill ‘Em With Kindness” songstress gave an impassioned speech at the American Music Awards.

Selena Once Talked About Not Wanting To See Women's Bodies On IG

During her speech, Selena said, “I don’t want to see your bodies on Instagram, I want to see what’s in here. I’m not trying to get validation nor do I need it anymore.”

Ironically enough, Selena collaborated with BLACKPINK in 2020 on their track “Ice Cream.”

In the music video, SelGo and the ladies of BP make suggestive movements about licking, kissing and eating “ice cream,” which is an innuendo for something else.

Also, it has to be noted that the year Selena gave her AMAs speech, Fergie released her song “M.I.L.F. $”

The music video featured a ton of celebrity cameos such as Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, Alessandra Ambrosio, Ciara and more.

The music video is highly sexually suggestive. Selena could’ve been referring to THAT particular video.

The timing of Britney’s since-deleted rant is very random, but she’s been on a naked Instagram posting spree.

She’s shared several fully nude photos to Instagram; however, she strategically places emojis on her nipples and vagina.

As for Selena, she announced she has COVID and has to miss her appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s ‘Tonight Show.’

UPDATE: Britney has issued what fans are calling a "non-apology" and seems to be "backtracking" her remarks in a new Instagram post.
