Why is #freebritney trending and what does the star have to say about her conservatorship?
Britney's conservatorship has sparked outrage among fans, particularly since she herself has made it clear she does not want it to continue in its current form.
It was implemented in 2008 after a series of public meltdowns.
Britney's lawyer, Samuel D Ingham III has said that she is "strongly opposed" to Jamie Spears continuing to control her affairs.
Due to health issues last year - which are came after claims of a physical altercation with his grandson Sean Preston - Jamie had stepped down temporarily from his role in Britney's conservatorship.
Britney instead wants Jodi Montgomery, who is a trained conservator, to have permanent control.
Jamie Spears says Britney's conservatorship is and #FreeBritney movement "is a joke."
He told : "All these conspiracy theorists don't know anything. The world don't have a clue.
"It's up to the court of California to decide what's best for my daughter. It's no one else's business."
The Toxic songstress had asked a judge to make her temporary care manager Jodi Montgomery - who took over last year when her father became ill - to continue permanently as her conservator.
She also wants " to reflect her current lifestyle and her wishes".
This confirms reports that the star no longer wishes to perform at this moment in time.
