Britney Spears' child support payments to ex-husband Kevin Federline are reportedly coming to an end soon, and fans have had a 'funny' response to 'celebrate.'
The 'Toxic' singer and Federline married in 2004 and welcomed two sons together, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
In 2006, Spears filed for divorce from the choreographer citing 'irreconcilable differences', per PEOPLE.

After a custody battle, Federline received full custody of the children in 2006 with Spears' then-conservatorship limiting her visitation rights. She was granted expanded visits in 2008, and in 2019, a new custody agreement allowed Spears 30 percent unsupervised custodial rights per E! News.
With today (September 12) marking her son Jayden James' 18th birthday, The Daily Mail reports that this means an end to Spears' child support payments is near. Her older son Sean Preston turned 18 on September 14 last year.
The outlet further reports that Spears is estimated to have paid more than $5 million in child support over the past 17 years. Per PEOPLE, Federline and Spears' original agreement saw her paying $20,000 a month in child support.

The number reportedly doubled to $40,000 a month in 2018, according to Entertainment Tonight.
A source told The Daily Mail: “The amount of money Britney has given Kevin for the two boys is extraordinary and it is enough for any man to support an entire family, which is what she believes he has done.”
Fans of Spears have gathered to 'celebrate' the near end of her support payments to her ex by charting her song, 'Work B***h'.

The 2013 track is a club record that essentially sees Spears sing that if you want the finer things in life, you have to be ready to work for them.
"You want a Bugatti? You want a Maserati? You better work, b***h," the first verse reads.
And it appears that fans are trying to send a message to Federline.
A fan account wrote on Twitter yesterday, "Tomorrow Britney fans will be buying and streaming 'Work B***h to celebrate Kevin Federline no longer receiving child support from Britney Spears."

Britney's supporters swiftly hopped on the trend with many posting screenshots of them listening to the track. One user wrote on Twitter, "I'm sorry this is so f***ing funny."
"Hold on this is funny as hell," another added.
"Britney stans are really top 3 [favorite] music fandoms," another user wrote.

The song entered the top 100 on US iTunes and is currently sitting at the 33rd spot (as of writing). It seems her fans are trying to get it to the number one spot.
UNILAD has contacted Spears and Federline's reps for comment on the end of the payments.
