Britney Spears wants the public to know she’s still rocking her trademark toned abs.

So much so, the Toxic singer has taken to Instagram to call out photographers who she believes, digitally altered pictures of her bikini body.

Hours after paparazzi shots surfaced of a bikini-clad Spears enjoying the sun while on a private boat, the 37-year-old star posted an Instagram story accusing photogs of trying to make her look ‘bigger’.

“Yesterday I went swimming, I look like I’m 40 pounds bigger than I am today,” she told the camera.

“This is how I am right now, and I’m skinny as a needle. You tell me, what is real?”

Spears also shared a separate post to Instagram, addressing her weight once again.

Dressed in low-rise jeans, sunglasses, heels and a midriff-baring top, Spears told fans, “Good morning. So this is the day after me on my boat ride. Do I look any different today than yesterday?”

The hitmaker went on to include one of the photos she believes was altered to make her appear fuller, followed by a video of her twirling around, showing off a much flatter stomach.

“People always say people or celebrities cheat with their images, but never do they question the paparazzi for selling your pic that they have messed with!!!” she wrote.

“This was all done within the same 17 hours!”

Despite being upset with the latest batch of bikini photos, a source revealed to E! News Britney looked happy during her weekend getaway with 25-year-old boyfriend Sam Asghari.

"The first day they chartered a yacht, C'est La Vie, and spent the day out on Biscayne Bay goofing around and having fun," the source shared.

"They jumped into the water together and tried all different ways of diving off the decks. Britney was having the best time laughing and being with her man."

The pop superstar’s clap back was met with praise from fans who reminded Spears that they’d have her back through thick or thin.

“We don’t care as long as you’re happy and healthy,” one fan assured the singer.

Another commended Spears on her newfound sass writing, “Good for you! Don’t let the paparazzi bully you. You look amazing.”
