Britney Spears and father controversy:
The infamous public spat-turned-controversy is a result of Spears' appeal to the relevant legal authorities regarding the removal of her father and her lawyer as Spears' conservators. A conservator is essentially a legal guardian that has been appointed for an individual who is deemed to be mentally incapable of making decisions for themselves. Such an arrangement, effectively, causes a third party to become in charge of, in addition to her life, the assets that belong to the individual in question. In the case of Spears, some of the singers' personal and financial assets along her estate are being controlled by her current conservator, Jamie, and a lawyer.

Jamie was legally appointed as the artist's conservator by the Los Angeles Superior court in 2008, after a series of mental breakdowns and visits to rehabilitation facilities by the singer. In 2020 itself, Spears has made two attempts towards appointing an entity of her own choosing in replacement of her father, both of which were dismissed promptly by the LA Superior court. Upon learning about Spears' situation, social media users made the hashtag #FreeBritney trend across all social media platforms. As of this writing, Spears is making her third appeal in front of the legal authorities for the same.
