French basketball player Wembanyama is a top prospect in the NBA, having been selected first overall in last month's rookie draft and joining the San Antonio Spurs.


Despite being over 220 cm tall, Wembanyama is known for his stable shooting while dribbling and his flexible movements like a guard or forward, earning him the reputation of a "once-in-a-century talent" among basketball officials and fans worldwide.


Recognizing him, Britney Spears lightly tapped Wembanyama's back and right shoulder to ask if she could take a photo together.

In response, the head of security for the San Antonio Spurs suddenly struck Spears forcefully. Spears was hit in the face and fell to the ground, and her sunglasses she was wearing also fell to the floor.


Initially, witnesses stated that the Spurs' head of security hit Spears in the face, but after police reviewed security camera footage from the scene, TMZ reported that the security chief had struck Spears' hand hard, causing her hand to hit her own face.


Afterwards, Spears sat at the reserved restaurant table, and the security chief who hit her came to apologize, explaining that he did not recognize Spears at the time of the incident.



However, with her pride severely hurt, Spears reported him to the police on charges of assault.
