Ne-Yo Tells Britney Spears "Dump Kevin"  6/29/06

Rapper Ne-Yo has urged Britney Spears to ditch her husband Kevin Federline, branding him a freeloader.

The 23-year-old is helping Spears work on new material, and doesn't like what he hears about her wannabe rapper beau.

Ne-Yo says, "I don't know the guy, but I know people that know him and he seems to be a guy who caught a break. He's a bit of a freeloader."

He adds of his collaboration with the pop princess, "I've done one session for her, but now she's pregnant it may be put on hold for a while. I'm not allowed to talk about her sound through, her people want it kept under wraps."
