Kanye West has slammed Britney Spears and MTV. West is upset over the sexy blonde opening this years MTV Video Music Awards.

"I can't believe she would perform. She hasn't had a hit record in years," he said, upset that MTV didn't invite him to open the show. "Maybe my money's not right. Maybe my skin's not right."

But producers who worked with Spears on her new album seemed confident she would regain her pop glory, Yahoo News reports.

She will "surprise the world," said Sean Garrett, who collaborated with the singer on three new tracks.
