Britney Spears fans have become NBA rookie Victor Wembanyama’s biggest haters.
Earlier this week, Wembanyama found himself at the center of controversy when his security got into an incident with Spears.
The video of the incident shows Spears walking up behind Wembanyama and tapping him on the back to get his attention which led to his security team aggressively swiping her hand away.

Spears said she was traumatized by the incident and felt she deserved an apology from the Spurs and the NBA rookie.

Wembanyama angered Spears’ fans when he described her as “that person” and laughed off the incident while speaking to the media
“THAT PERSON grabbed me from behind” she’s literally just 5’3 and you’re 7’5 💀
and THAT PERSON you’re talking about made multimillions at the age of 18, while you’re making less than of that despite being in the game for like 5 years and still a rookie. the disrespect! https://t.co/vVwm6M81tk

Britney stans will spend the rest of time amassing the collective basketball knowledge of Gregg Popovich, Pat Riley, and Bulls-era Phil Jackson just to ensure Victor Wembanyama will never know peace. https://t.co/2jLuQsyZdB
