The drama between Britney Spears and the eternal aspiring prince seems to never end after Justin Timberlake mocks the apology that Britney published on her Instagram account after he participated in the Saturday Night Live program to promote her new song ‘Selfish’, which had been the subject of sabotage by the singer’s loyal fans after its release, positioning a Britney song with the same name at the top of popularity and overshadowing Justin’s return.
According to sources from the specialized media PageSix, Justin Timberlake is furious about the recent drama with Britney that is “overshadowing his new music.”
“Justin hoped that the reaction [to Spears’ book] would have passed by now so that he could focus on his new album, which he is very excited about, but every day is something new,” said one of those consulted.
The media also tried to contact the artist’s representative, but he did not respond. So far, the singer has not made public statements about the accusations that the princess of pop made in her highly publicized memoirs that were published in October of last year, among which is the abortion that she was pressured to have, even though she wanted to continue with him getting pregnant, infidelity and the way he ended the relationship via text message.
Justin’s Non-apologies
Through social networks, last Wednesday a video went viral that he dedicated to Spears in which a model appears dressed in the outfit that Britney wore in the early 2000s— Justin says: “I want to use this opportunity to apologize. … with absolutely no one, damn it.” This after the apology Britney published on Instagram, now deleted, to lower the intensity of the controversy over the launch of her new song.
“I want to apologize for some of the things I wrote in my book. “If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about, I am deeply sorry,” he wrote.
“I also wanted to say that I’m in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song, ‘Selfish.’ It’s so good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so much? PS: ‘Sanctified’ is….amazing,” said Britney Spears.
Britney’s apology provoked all kinds of theories among her fans, one of them being that the RCA record company had met with the singer to ensure that she was not participating in or inciting the recent “Selfish” movement since they were the same company they tried to dampen spirits. Faced with this new incident with her ex, Britney did not take long to respond to the unpleasant comments as only she knows how to do. She sent him a very direct hint without mentioning her name, as she has been doing for more than 20 years, unlike him who has mentioned her to boost her career by telling intimate details.
Britney’s Counterattack
“Someone told me that someone was talking sh*t about me in the streets! Do you want to take him to court or are you going to go home crying to your mom like you did last time?” she said.
This is not the first time that the singer responds to her ex when she performs this song, in December of last year, before performing the song the singer had said: “No disrespect.” However, after Justin’s new statements, social networks have turned on again and Britney’s fans are organizing to position a new song by the singer, Liar, a song from her ninth studio album Gloria from 2016.
