Britney Spears' husband Kevin Federline has angered 80s pop legend Thomas Dolby.

The star, who hopes to launch a career as a rapper, posted a new track on his MySpace site which contained a sample from one of Dolby's songs.

Thomas, who is annoyed that Kevin did not request his permission, told The Sun, "Vanilla Ice is a superstar compared to this guy."

Federline has now removed the track but has yet to comment on Dolby's criticisms.
