Ne-Yo 'Still Rooting' For Britney

R+b star Ne-Yo has sent wishes of support to troubled singer Britney Spears - despite the musicians falling out over a song.

Spears reacted angrily after the So Sick hitmaker allowed Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger to record tracks written specifically for the Toxic hitmaker.

But Ne-Yo tells Mtv he has "no beef" with the star.

He says, "Everybody been telling me, me and Britney got beef. I ain't got no beef with Britney."

"Britney, I was rooting for you. Every time somebody asked me about you, I was like, 'More power to you. Go 'head, do your rehab thing, get it right, come back out and slay them.'"

"But I can't stand in the way of somebody that feels like being mad at me. Be mad."
