The "Toxic" singer reportedly severed ties with her boyfriend Soliz about three weeks ago over fears that he was using her for clout.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Britney declared herself "single as f-ck," adding that she "will never be with another man as long as I live!!!"

According to TMZ, an insider said of the situation, "Britney and Paul split around three weeks ago, and they were done once the singer realized her former maintenance worker-turned-boyfriend was only using her for the luxurious lifestyle."

The source added that she's not hurt over the split with Soliz as she decided to do so after seeing his "true colors."

Soliz was first linked to Britney after her divorce from ex-husband Sam Asghari. He is understood to have served as her handyman before becoming her lover.

"Then he calls his mom and says he's being harassed. Why did he roll the window down with me crying in the seat??" She queried.

According to the Daily Mail, a source shared that another factor that the queen of pop considered before splitting from Soliz was the relationship with her sons.

"She chose her children and her well-being over Paul," the source said. "They did not get along and he did not treat her how she deserves to be treated."

The insider continued, "He was nothing but a rebound and she recognizes this. But she has contact with her children again and this is what is most important to her. This has made her feel whole again and she realized that in their absence she was seeking something or someone to fill the void but no one can."
