K-Fed to Ellen DeGeneres: Shadow of Britney is Daunting

Okay, Kevin Federline wasn't exactly that profound when he appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show today.

But the tatooed, abysmal musician did ask for sympathy. He said that being married to Britney Spears wasn't purely about romps in the sack like he thought it would be.

"I would be lying if I didn't say it was tough," Federline stated. "I think the expectation is real high for me you know, it's like you see my wife here she is this huge superstar everybody loves her, all of her music is just hits after hits and it's hard to compete."

Let's see, did anyone ever have high expections for Federline? Anyone?

Of course, K-Fed hopes his new single "Lose Control" will be the next "Toxic." Nevertheless, the musician claims no rivalry exists at home - and Ellen managed to avoid the obvious retort that it is, indeed, VERY toxic.

"I don't see it as a competition you know? Maybe other people are putting it in that perspective, but to me it's not a competition ... I just have fun. I love rapping and making music period."

Phew. We were afraid he'd say "good" music. But sounds like even K-Fed is aware of his complete and utter lack of limited talent.
