Britney Spears Marks 43rd Birthday with Humorous Twist
Britney Spears took to Instagram to share a lighthearted message on her 43rd birthday, jokingly claiming she was turning 5 instead. The pop icon, known for her hit “Toxic,” posted a selfie video from her birthday getaway in Mexico, saying, “It’s my birthday. I’m not turning 42. I’m turning 5 this year.” Her playful remark, however, included a mix-up regarding her actual age.
In the video, she playfully noted, “I’m turning 5 years old, and I have to go to kindergarten tomorrow.” Alongside her comedic musings, Britney shared clips of a small white cake topped with strawberries, exclaiming, “A baby strawberry! A very, very cute baby, baby cake that my friend got!”
In another segment, the singer expressed her dissatisfaction with the paparazzi, stating that they had been unfairly cruel in their portrayal of her. She revealed her feelings about the harsh treatment she experienced while boarding a private jet in Los Angeles earlier that day. “They’ve always been incredibly cruel to me,” she lamented, adding, “I know I’m not perfect at all by any means, but some of it is extremely mean and cruel. That’s why I’ve moved to Mexico.” Despite her comments, an insider later clarified to a publication that she was merely vacationing.
Britney also addressed an amusing incident involving a grill lighter she was seen carrying on the jet. “I don’t know why I have a torch in my hand. Honestly, I think my friend accidentally gave that to me,” she remarked with a laugh.
The birthday celebrations came after a year of ups and downs for Britney, who enjoyed her last birthday with her mother, Lynne, and brother, Bryan. The singer appears to be cherishing her time in Mexico, where she celebrated with friends while making memories away from the spotlight of Hollywood.
