Justin Timberlake found himself wishing he never opened his beautiful singing mouth last night on Twitter.
The pop star wrote that he was “inspired” by a Jesse Williams‘ speech during the BET Awards, which led to a follower accusing the ex-NSYNC frontman of “appropriating” black “music and culture” to advance his career. Twitter user Ernest Owens also asked Timberlake to apologize to Janet Jackson for his hand in 2004’s “Nipplegate” Super Bowl duet.
Timberlake responded to Owens on the social media platform: “Oh, you sweet soul. The more you realize that we are the same, the more we can have a conversation.”
