K Fed's hat in hand, doggie bags of free food

With Britney Spears cutting off a Pimp's greenback elixir of life (dosh) to ex Kevin Federline's gravy train ways, the rapper is dead broke.

Apparently even before the split was public knowledge "Spears told Fed-ex to fly himself to New York and get his own hotel room," an unnamed insider told Us Weekly.

PageSix.com reports "Spears then ordered his phone turned off and credit cards shut down."

"Not even his mother could get ahold of him," a source told Us weekly.

Federline is now economizing where he can. Fed Ex and his entourage of "eight wannabe rappers showed up at downtown burlesque joint for a comped dinner that would have cost him $1,200, a source tells Us weekly."

"He just kept ordering more and more food and then asked for it to be put in containers so he could take the food out to the clubs with him. Then he started putting napkins in the tops of the tequila and vodka bottles and stuck them under his coat trying to sneak the liquor out with him.

It was really unbelievable to watch. The guy obviously has enough money to buy a bottle of liquor on his own without trying to sneak it under his coat." told a neighboring unnamed diner to Us Weekly.
