What were the last words Britney Spears’ grandfather told her? Singer reveals in latest IG post

In a recent Instagram post, uploaded on October 19, Britney Spears told her fans what her grandfather last told her. Revealing the details, she wrote in the caption:

"Me and my grandfather never spoke much but this was the last thing he said to me before he died… he said promise me one thing… people will talk and talk and he said the world can be a very cruel place… he said promise me you wont care what these ignorant people say and lie about you…"

Continuing her caption, she wrote:

"He said you stay fearless… thats in your blood… to be fearless… don’t become crippled and scared and a person explaining yourself so you give them the entitlement to make you less than them… when people really understand the power of your name alone people will test you and do absolutely anything to pull you down…"
