Britney Spears’ husband Kevin Federline is completely focused as he prepares for his first public appearance as a rapper at the Teen Choice Awards on August 20.
The former dancer, who has been married to Spears for two years and has been working on his own debut album, will perform his single Lose Control.
He explains: "It's been building up for a long time, and the process with the album (Playing With Fire) took a long time, so I decided to just get out there and jump on stage.
"As a dancer, it was one thing, but now it's a whole different story."
Federline tells USA Today that he will be joined onstage by "certain dancers and performers who are good at what they do, the best at what they do" for the song.
He plans to have his wife, who is pregnant with their second child, as his date for the evening.
He says: "This is my first big event, and I need her support and I want her support.
"If she's feeling under the weather because of the baby, obviously she won't be able to be there, but she'll want to be there for me.
"I want to prove myself as an artist, as a rapper and as a human being in society who goes through everything everybody else goes through."
