A viral clip led fans to speculate about a possible argument between rap star Megan Thee Stallion and former NSYNC member Justin Timberlake during the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). But a spokesperson has confirmed the two artists were simply excited to meet one another.
Fans quickly responded on X after a clip showed Megan reacting to Timberlake with hand gestures. She raises her finger in Timberlake’s direction while shaking her head from side to side, saying something indistinguishable on the video feed. Timberlake then walks away from the “Hot Girl” rapper.
A spokesperson has since clarified the clip taken behind the scenes of Tuesday night’s live broadcast, actually showed two artists excited to meet each other.
Megan later posted a TikTok with Timberlake, with the two smiling. In the caption, Megan confirms the artists had no beef. “I just talk with my hands lol,” Megan wrote. “See ya next time @JustinTimberlake.”
The VMAs was a celebration-filled night, with Taylor Swift winning nine awards and NSYNC making a comeback after a decade. The award ceremony also featured performances by Doja Cat, Shakira and Diddy.
