The singer called the welfare check 'unacceptable' in a post on Instagram, calling out the cops for listening to 'random fans.'

Britney Spears spoke out after a bizarre knife-dancing performance at her home resulted in a visit from local authorities conducting a wellness check on the "Toxic" singer.

On September 26, Spears, whose much-publicized conservatorship came to an end in 2021, posted a video of herself in a crop top and bikini bottoms dancing with large knives to the tune of Engima's “Principles of Lust: Sadeness/Find Love/Sadeness (Reprise).”


When the performance prompted questions about her mental health and concern for her safety, Spears posted another video assuring fans that the knives were not real but were props from the Hand Prop shop in LA.

She added:

I’m trying to imitate one of my favorite performers Shakira … a performance I was inspired by !!!

But that didn't prevent cops from paying her a visit to check on her wellness on September 30.

The 41-year-old former "Princess of Pop" railed against the cops who responded to fans' concerns by coming to her home unannounced.

Sunday's post featured a photo of feet in pointe shoes balanced on the handles of two knives with the following caption:

"So unacceptable for cops to listen to random fans and come in to my home unwarranted … Jesus Christ … can I make calls and make others feel threatened in your home ???"
"The officers came to my home and said they would not leave until they spoke to me as people did 4 minute performances with knives."

She continued:

"I am getting an apology. I’ve been bullied in my home for so long now…IT’S ENOUGH! Don’t talk about it, come on, let’s DO!!!"
"As my mom does the silent treatment when paps ask questions about her own daughter, as if I’m in the wrong…nope, it’s an old game."
"People need to be responsible for their actions! It’s about power for cops."



Her loyal fans couldn't disagree.
