Nicki Minaj slams 'clown' Kevin Federline for releasing tapes of ex-wife Britney Spears yelling at their boys.

• Kevin Federline was chastised by Nicki Minaj after he revealed tapes of Britney Spears disagreeing with her boys.

• Minaj called Federline a "clown" for disparaging his co-parent with the press.

• Speaking with the press, the artist has had her own encounters with exes.

On an episode of her Amp radio program Queen Radio broadcast Tuesday, Nicki Minaj addressed the feud between former spouses Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, blasting Federline for speaking to the public about Spears and her connection with their boys.

"Do you realize what kind of clown you have to be — a complete, grown fucking guy, and as soon as you see someone happy, getting married, moving on, being free, and feeling good in their own skin, to do the one thing you know is going to bring them down? Going to the press? "Federline, according to the rapper,

"Only cowards use the media against a famous person they previously loved, procreated with, are being cared for by, were cared for by," Minaj added on the live video.

Federline, who was married to Spears from 2004 to 2007 and was granted full custody of their children in 2008, published — then immediately removed — videos on Instagram August 11 that purported to show the pop singer arguing with their boys Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden, 15.

The previous week, on August 6, Federline spoke to the Daily Mail about the boys' choice to forgo Spears' wedding to Sam Asghari and their refusal to meet their mother.

Spears expressed up about her boys' "harsh" decision to see her less in a lengthy, emotional Instagram post that was also removed on August 10, allegedly in response to Federline's Daily Mail interview and the day before he published the videos seeming to show Spears shouting at their sons.

"I bring it up because my heart cannot comprehend cruelty. It pains my heart because it appears like cruelty is winning these days, even though it's not about winning or losing!!!" the "Womanizer" "In the now-deleted post, singer stated "But I can't get over how I devoted 20 years of my life to those children... Everything revolved around them!!! For them to take my breath away."

At the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj performed onstage.

Minaj, 39, has had her own public feuds with ex-boyfriends like as Safaree Samuels and Meek Mill. Meek Mill sent a few lines her her on his 2017 tune "1942 Flows," and Samuels conducted a series of interviews following allegations of their divorce in 2014.

Minaj also accused Federline of using Spears' popularity against her as a "continuous 'gotcha' moment" on Queen Radio. During the webcast, she asked Federline whether he believed the public would feel sorry for him. "You think you're not going to get karma for it? Do you think it's okay? Do you think anyone will feel sorry for you? "She inquired.

Minaj also chastised Federline for using his and Spears' children in their public fight. "How can you include this woman's children in your nonsense?" she said.

"They'll look back and wonder, 'Why, why, why did we do this?' They're children. They have no idea how dangerous this is, but you know what I mean "She continued.

In 2011, Spears and Minaj collaborated on the "Femme Fatale" tour. They also collaborated on a remix of "Until the World Ends."

"She loves her children more than life itself," Minaj stated of her former colleague.

Representatives for Minaj, Spears, and Federline did not immediately reply to requests for comment from Insider.
