Krayzie Bone - Krayzie Bone Had 'No Idea' Who Federline Was

Rapper KRAYZIE BONE had "no idea" his management team was in talks with BRITNEY SPEARS' ex-husband KEVIN FEDERLINE for a collaboration, insisting he "didn't even know who he was".

Wannabe rapper Federline is working on new tracks with the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony star - but Krayzie Bone admits he only learned he was hitting the studio with the former backing dancer when it was reported in the media - and he almost turned his back on the project.

He tells HipHopDX.com, "I didn’t even know that my people was actually talking to him at first, because I had no idea about it until I started seeing it in the tabloids and on the different websites… I really didn’t even know who he was at first. K-Fed, I didn’t know that name until somebody told me that’s Britney Spears’ ex-husband…

"After then I was like, ‘Oh nah, we not messing with him.’ But then after I spoke to my people, they told me that they had conversations with him and that he was possibly looking for like some writers, and you know, like some production and stuff like that. So I was like, ‘That’s what I do.’”

The album will be Federline's follow-up to 2006 flop Playing With Fire.
