Megan Thee Stallion and Justin Timberlake respond to VMA row rumors

Justin Timberlake found himself making headlines earlier this year when his ex Britney Spears released her memoir The Woman In Me – where she made a series of claims aimed at the former *NSYNC star.

And now, almost two months later, Justin, 42, has seemingly addressed the allegations made in the book by dishing out a comment directed at his former girlfriend before performing the song fans believe to be about his and her breakup in 2002.

It appeared Justin seemed keen to banish any hard feelings stirred up by his much-discussed song Cry Me a River as he told the crowd: “No disrespect,” before launching into a performance of the track.

The singer issued the disclaimer at the grand opening of the flashy Fontainebleau Hotel in Las Vegas earlier this week.

The track was released eight months after he ended things with Britney, who was his girlfriend from 1999 until 2002.

His poignant words were: “You don’t have to say what you did/I already know/I found out from him/Now there’s just no chance/For you and me/There’ll never be/And don’t it make you sad about it?”

Making matters more spicy, he even featured a Britney lookalike in the music video which has over 500 million views on YouTube.

Almost 20 years after the song was released, Britney made a swipe at the hit in her best-selling memoir – which hit bookshelves in October 2023.

In her memoir Britney, 42, confessed to cheating on Justin Timberlake with choreographer Wade Robson.

“We were out one night, and we went to a Spanish bar. We danced and danced. I made out with him that night,” she penned in the book.

But she also went on to hint at Justin’s own infidelity, claiming: “There were a couple of times during our relationship when I knew Justin had cheated on me… There were rumours about him with other dancers and groupies.”

Elsewhere in the explosive memoir, the Toxic hitmaker also shared that she fell pregnant with their child but chose not to continue the pregnancy.

She explained: “Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.”

Justin, who is now a father to Silas, eight, and Phineas, three, with wife Jessica Biel, has yet to publicly respond to the memoir.

However, a source told the Daily Mail at the time of its release that the Friends With Benefits star was “not at all happy about what has come out in this book.”

Adding: “Doing this book has given Britney life and she really doesn’t care who is offended by anything in it because it is what happened.”
