Rapper Eve claims that Britney Spear may not have been the one singing on her collaboration with Will.i.am, “Scream and Shout”.

She spoke out whilst appearing on “Watch What Happens Live” and when asked by host Andy Cohen about the odd accent that Britney adopts in the song, she replied: "I heard that might not be Britney."

A shocked Cohen said: "Really? Why? It's someone else in the studio?"

Her response was: "That's what I heard. But, you know, I don't know. It could be Britney. But I heard it wasn't. I don't know

Representatives from the Britney camp quickly leapt to her defence and her publicist Jeff Raymond told TMZ: "It's absolute BS. Britney sang the song. Will.i.am wanted her for this song and she sang on it."

The curious British accent that Britney adopts in the song has been subject to much speculation as to what it’s all about.

When speaking to KIIS FM, Will.i.am stated that it just went with the vibe of the song and appears to be a nod to the fact that his career has been very successful in this country.

A new video remix of “Scream and Shout” was released today and gives the song more of a hip hop edge.
