Megan Thee Stallion caused a stir at the 2023 MTV VMAs when she was seen having an animated exchange with Justin Timberlake backstage. However, sources close to the incident have clarified that there was “zero fight” between the two artists.
Megan, who performed her latest joint single “Bongos” with Cardi B at the New Jersey event on Tuesday, found herself caught in a backstage moment with Timberlake. As captured on the MTV’s backstage live feed, Timberlake leaned in to say something to Megan, who responded passionately by shaking her finger and shouting. Unfortunately, the audio did not capture Megan’s words.
Adding to the intrigue, NSYNC member Joey Fatone also appeared to be part of the conversation. Nonetheless, a well-placed source reportedly informed Variety and other media outlets that the exchange was nothing more than a friendly interaction.
According to the source, Timberlake approached Megan and said, “It’s so nice to meet you,” to which Megan playfully responded, “No, no this doesn’t count. We gotta meet proper.” The incident was characterized as “very cute.”
Representatives for both Megan Thee Stallion and Justin Timberlake have been contacted for comments on the matter.
The reunion of NSYNC at the VMAs was a highly anticipated moment for fans. The boy band, composed of Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Justin Timberlake, took a hiatus in 2002. The group performed together for the first time in a decade during the 2013 VMAs, where they sang their hit songs “Girlfriend” and “Bye Bye Bye” as Timberlake received MTV’s 2013 Video Vanguard award.
During this year’s ceremony, NSYNC members joined forces once again to present the award for Best Pop. The trophy ultimately went to Taylor Swift for her song “Anti-Hero.” Swift, visibly ecstatic, took the opportunity to express her admiration for NSYNC, revealing that she owned each of their toy dolls when she was a child.
As Swift embraced each NSYNC member on stage, Lance Bass surprised her with multiple colorful beaded bracelets, following a tradition popular among Swift’s fans. With the reunion sparking excitement, Swift eagerly asked the group about their future plans, stating, “They’re gonna do something, and I need to know what it is! You’re pop personified.”
A recent source revealed to Entertainment Tonight that NSYNC is set to record a song for the upcoming Trolls Band Together film, marking their first new music since their 2001 album, Celebrity. In the film franchise, Justin Timberlake voices the character of Branch.
While the backstage exchange between Megan Thee Stallion and Justin Timberlake may have initially sparked curiosity among fans, it seems that there was no cause for concern. As NSYNC’s reunion brings joy to music enthusiasts worldwide, it is clear that this iconic boy band continues to captivate audiences with their timeless appeal.
