Britney Spears is speaking out to clear up any misconceptions about her stance on Halsey after a statement seemingly slamming the singer’s new music video for “Lucky” surfaced.

The drama unfolded after Halsey dropped the music video for “Lucky,” which features an interpolation of Spears’ 2000 hit of the same name in the chorus.
“I’m so lucky, I’m a star / But I cry, cry, cry in the lonely heart thinking / If there’s nothing missing in my life / Then why do these tears come at night?” Halsey sings.

Before the track dropped, Halsey shared that she got permission from Spears to interpolate the chorus.

Halsey didn’t publicly disclose her condition but tagged the Lupus Research Alliance and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in her post.
“I told myself I’m giving myself two more years to be sick. [When] I’m 30, I’m having a rebirth,” she said in the clip. “I’m not going to be sick. I’m going to look super-hot and have lots of energy. I’m just going to get to redo my 20s and 30s.”
