There seemed to be some drama brewing at the MTV VMAs on Tuesday night when Megan Thee Stallion and Justin Timberlake were caught on camera appearing to have a heated exchange backstage. However, it turns out that the whole misunderstanding was blown out of proportion.
Key Takeaway
Despite initial speculation, there was no confrontation between Megan Thee Stallion and Justin Timberlake at the VMAs. The interaction was friendly and there is no animosity between the two artists.
Video footage surfaced showing Megan, who had just performed her new song “Bongos” with Cardi B, animatedly gesturing and seemingly saying something to Justin Timberlake. This led to speculation on social media that there was some sort of beef between the two stars.
Megan quickly put that rumor to rest by posting a video on her social media with the caption, “I just talk with my hands lol. See ya next time Justin Timberlake.” The video was accompanied by peaceful background music, dispelling any notion of animosity.
According to witnesses, the interaction between Megan and Justin was actually quite cordial. One eyewitness told Variety that Justin greeted Megan and expressed how nice it was to meet her. In response, Megan playfully dismissed the encounter, insisting that they need to meet properly in the future.
Another witness reportedly stated that Megan has nothing but love for Justin and was excited to meet him for the first time. In fact, Justin’s *NSYNC bandmate, Joey Fatone, was seen smiling throughout the exchange, further confirming that there was no bad blood between the two artists.
It should be noted that the real highlight of the night was *NSYNC’s reunion, which took center stage as they presented Taylor Swift with the Best Pop Video award. Taylor was visibly emotional as she joined the group on stage, marking a nostalgic and heartwarming moment for both the fans and the artists.
