Just days before Britney announced to the world that she was filing for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences,” K-Fedex in a relaxed interview talked with Salon on why the public didna€?t embrace him as Mr. Britney Spears. According to him, Britney is partly to be blamed.

He says; “They saw this street kid. The world doesna€?t want that for Britney Spears. Thata€?s their queen,” he said. “They dona€?t want some dude that looks like a hoodlum … They want her to be with the all-American boy.”

So the reviews were pretty harsh.

I expected that. Thata€?s what they do. Thata€?s what theya€?ve been doing to me from the beginning, and eventually my spirit will shine through that. People will see my passion for this. Ita€?s slow and ita€?s not an easy road, but I dona€?t like taking the easy road. Ia€?m all about hard work and really proving myself — especially to the hip-hop community.

Why do you think it is that a lot of people have a negative reaction to you?

I think the media played a big part of that. I think the beginning of my introduction to the world was not the greatest. When people first saw me and first heard about it, and it became global news … within one week almost the whole world knew who I was. Within one week. So, you really have to look at that and take into perspective that the first light that youa€?re shown is like them judging a book by a cover. Thata€?s all theya€?ve seen — the cover of the book. They havena€?t really thought past that or tried to look past that.

The watch youa€?re wearing is worth more money than Ia€?ve made in the last five years.

Thata€?s my baby. Whenever I made some money thata€?s the first thing I went and bought.

So there are certain aspects of the lifestyle you probably enjoy.

Of course, of course. I have my fetishes like everybody else does. My shoes — my kick game is ridiculous.

How many shoes do you have?

Probably like 80 to 100 pairs. My watch game is ridiculous — just jewelry in general. Ita€?s an investment. I bought this [points to his watch], and ita€?s already gone up in value. All the jewelry Ia€?m wearing has already gone up in value.

Youa€?re not planning on selling it anytime soon are you?

Hell no. I aina€?t getting rid of it. Ia€?m going to go out and get some more. Ita€?s great to be able to go and do that stuff, but you really sit back and think about it … You could have all the money in the world and within two months of having that … Say you hit the lotto, right? Two months of having that money, you go and buy a mansion, you buy a big-ass boat, you travel all around the world, you do everything in two months. Thata€?s not gonna buy you happiness. Thata€?s not gonna define who I am. It only goes so far. Therea€?s something way beyond that thata€?s deep that I have with my wife that nobody will ever understand.
