Wu Tang Clan rapper Method Man has claimed pop star Britney Spears bizarre behaviour this year is the harbinger of the "apocalypse".

The celebrated hip-hop star has dim views on the current state of music, and isn't afraid to point the finger at Britney's breakdown as some kind of divine omen.

He muses, "The whole music industry is twisted on it's f**king head.

"And Britney Spears shaved her head - that's how I know the Apocalypse is coming."

The Lord moves in mysterious ways....
