The Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears Drama Isn’t Over Yet

Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears haven’t dated since the early 2000s, but their drama is still going strong. Thanks to recent revelations from Spears’ book, and Timberlake’s shaky marriage, these two just keep stepping on each other’s toes. In all fairness, the singer did apologize to the pop princess in 2021 for all the ugliness between them. However, he seems to be singing a different tune now.

The ‘Diss’

On January 31st, Timberlake performed his single “Cry Me a River” at Irving Plaza in New York City. Before he began singing, Timberlake introduced the song by saying, “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely nobody.” Fans seem to believe this comment was about Spears, despite the fact that Timberlake didn’t give any indication as to what he was referring to. They felt particularly frustrated given the fact that Spears apologized to Timberlake for what she wrote about him in her book, saying, “If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry,” followed by a shout-out to Timberlake’s new song. We agree that it could be about Spears, but innocent until proven guilty, right?

People Reacted

Regardless of who Timberlake was or wasn’t talking about, the internet decided without any question that he was referring to Spears. One fan wrote, “Justin Timberlake takes ANOTHER shot at Britney right before singing ‘Cry Me A River,’ […] even after Britney was kind to him and apologized without actually needing to.” Spears herself got involved several days later, writing on social media that she’d been made aware someone was badmouthing her. She added, “Do you want to bring it to the court or will you go home crying to your mom like you did the last time? I’m not sorry!!!” This seems to be a reference to Spears’ past claims that a man she knew would cry when losing a game of basketball to her.

We think it’s save to say that this drama is far from over.

Elton John and Britney Spears Will Collaborate on Another Version of ‘Tiny Dancer’

The comeback queen Britney Spears will be stepping into her role as a singer once again! A source from the music industry confirmed that the “Toxic” singer will be working with none other than the legendary Elton John on another new version of the 1972 classic “Tiny Dancer.” The production of this song will be handled by Andrew Watt. The release of the single is scheduled for next month, according to Universal Music.

It Was Breaking News

The news erupted when Spears and Sam Asghari, her husband, were hanging out together on a Saturday night along with actor Taron Egerton. Egerton played the legendary Elton John back in 2019, in the musical biopic titled Rocketman. Spears had captioned a now-deleted social media video, “Coolest guy ever!!! Such a freaking fan… I was so stupid!!!” The “…Baby One More Time” singer had not attended Elton John’s viewing party at the 30th Annual Academy Awards in March. Her husband had attended it instead. “I wish she was [here]. She’s at home doing a couple of stuff… She’s traveling a lot,” Asghari said in an interview.

Free From the Conservatorship

The “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” artist was also absent from that event. He had sent David Furnish, his husband, and their kids with Lady Gaga, their godmother. A source said that Britney Spears was actively talking about her professional life, now that the 13-year conservatorship had been terminated in the month of November. The source also mentioned that Spears loves making music and was thinking of making a new album for her fans.

Anything Is Possible

Spears had posted a video on Instagram to say that she was toying with the idea of creating another version of her 1998 single “…Baby One More Time” but it wasn’t a possibility back then due to her conservatorship. “I haven’t shared my voice in an extremely long time… may be too long,” she had written in the caption of the social media post. Now that the ruling has been passed and she is a free bird, she can do anything. Even Mathew Rosengart, the artist’s attorney, called the day of the ruling a “monumental day” for Spears. We surely cannot wait to hear her lovely voice again!
