A mischievous one Britney Spears has caused concern with her recent Instagram posts.

The “Mmm Papi” singer posted two videos to the social media app early Tuesday in which she claimed to be a 5-year-old kindergarten student and noted that rude paparazzi caused her to flee to Mexico.

Britney Spears’ Instagram video “Kindergarten” has fans worried

In the first video post shared to Instagram, Spears is seen up close as she claims paparazzi put her on a plane wearing a mask.

“I’m not really sure why the paparazzi make me get on a plane like I’m wearing a Jason (Vorhees) mask,” the singer says, before pulling out a flashlight she was carrying at one point.

“I think my friend gave this to me by mistake,” Spears notes.

Things seem to get even more troubling as she acknowledges she’s 43^approx birthday the day before, initially misjudging her actual age before degrading herself from an adult to a child.

“It’s my birthday – I’m not turning 42, I’m turning 5 this year,” she says, “and tomorrow I have to go to kindergarten.”

Britney Spears says she “moved to Mexico” to avoid “cruel” paparazzi

In a second video that Spears posted later that day, she further calls out the paparazzi and inadvertently clarifies her “mask” statement from the first video.

“It really hurts me that the paparazzi make my face look like I’m wearing a white Jason mask,” she says, suggesting her complaint stems from how she’s captured on camera.

“They were always incredibly cruel to me,” Spears continues, “and the way they illustrated me (in) some of (their photos).”

After a laugh, Spears claims that she took drastic measures to stop the paparazzi from taking even less flattering photos:

“They were extremely mean and cruel, and that’s why I moved to Mexico!”

The paparazzi photos of Britney Spears paint a clearer picture

Many of the recent photos taken of Spears shed light on what really happened and suggest that the singer was very lucid in her Instagram videos.

In the recordings, published by the Daily MailSpears is seen walking on the tarmac in a long white trench coat and black thigh-high boots. White-rimmed sunglasses cover the upper half of her face, and a large black fedora shields her from the sun.

Spears is also seen covering her mouth with a red grill lighter while chatting with an assistant. As seen in the group of photos, Spears never removes the light from this area of ​​her face.

To the naked eye, it appeared as if Spears wasn’t behaving erratically, but rather was shielding her face from the paparazzi in the area.

What some might consider an erratic use of social media is Britney’s way of showing off her “freedom.”

While concerns about Spears’ social media usage are nothing new, the singer has expressed that she simply wants the grace to express some silliness on Instagram every now and then.

In her bestselling 2023 memoir: The woman in meThe Grammy-winning artist shows her appreciation for others’ consideration of her, but also asks for the privilege to be herself.

“Freedom means being silly and silly and having fun on social media,” she wrote, adding:

“Freedom means taking a break from Instagram without people calling 911. Freedom means being able to make mistakes and (learn) from them. Freedom means that I don’t have to perform for anyone – neither on stage nor backstage. Freedom means that I can be just as beautifully imperfect as everyone else.”

For those still concerned, a source to talk to vulture assured the public that Spears puts her well-being — mental and physical — first.

“She’s sober and doesn’t do drugs,” the insider claims. “She has a glass of wine every now and then, but she doesn’t have a drug problem and has people around her who make sure she stays on the right path.”

She no longer feels comfortable being the center of attention

Spears’ dislike of the paparazzi and media attention was documented in The woman in mewhich gives even more weight to her recent videos and actions.

In 2007, the pop star made headlines after she shaved her head following an emotional evening with her two sons and her father, ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Describing herself as “crazy with grief,” Spears, frustrated, walked into an LA hair salon, demanded a pair of scissors and began shaving her head.

“I was the good girl for years,” Spears recalled The woman in me Add:

“I smiled politely while TV show hosts stared at my breasts, while American parents said I would destroy their children by wearing a crop top, (and) while executives condescendingly patted my hand and questioned my career choice, though I had sold millions of records. And I was tired of it.”
