Rappers reject Federline

Prominent members of the hip hop community have slammed Britney Spears' husband Kevin Federline's debut performance at the Teen Choice awards, labelling him a joke.

XXL magazine editor in chief Elliot Wilson and King magazine executive editor Jermaine Hall have both hit out at the lacklustre performance.

Wilson says: "I think we ignore him. He's a joke, basically. I just don't think he gets it. He doesn't get that he's Britney's man and it's hard to take him seriously."

Hall adds: "The thing that really hurts him is the fact that he's perceived as Britney's husband. You know, kinda like Britney's second - I don't even want to say second in command, but - he's like the Britney Boy.

"He's like Mr Spears, and it's kinda hard to get over that perception."
