Shortly after entering the NBA as the most touted prospect since 2003, Victor Wembanyama made headlines for a wrong season. The 19-year-old crossed paths with pop singer Britney Spears at a hotel in Vegas and sparked up a debacle. The incident became all the more infamous after word got out that Wembanyama’s security allegedly ‘backhanded’ the pop singer amidst the crowd. Though Wembanyama is busy with the ongoing summer league, Spears’ fans seem to not have any mercy with this year’s first overall pick.

One of Wembanyama’s moments from his summer league debut is now doing rounds on the web, courtesy of Britney Spears’ fans. Turns out, not many netizens have nice things to say to the San Antonio Spurs star.

Prior to the summer league action in Vegas, Victor Wembanyama interacted with fans at a hotel, signing autographs and posing for pictures. Then Britney Spears made her way to the Frenchman’s entourage in order to say hello and click pictures with him.

As Spears puts it, she tapped on the 19-year-old’s shoulder in an attempt to interact with him. And soon his security guard backhanded her. However, Wembanyama’s version goes Spears was grabbing him from behind and he saw his security guard trying to keep her away.
