Justin Timberlake didn’t fare well in his ex Britney Spears’ autobiography. Among other things, she accused him of cheating and pushing her to get an abortion.
More comically, she dropped a big old W-bomb on the boy-bander-turned-R&B star.
“His band NYSNC was what people back then called ‘so pimp.’ They were white boys but they loved hip-hop. To me, that’s what separated them from the Backstreet Boys, who seemed very consciously to position themselves as a white group. NSYNC hung out with Black artists. Sometimes I thought they tried too hard to fit in,” Britney wrote in The Woman In Me. “One day J [Justin] and I were in New York going to parts of town I had never been to before. Walking our way was a guy with a huge, blinged-out medallion. He was flanked by two giant security guards. J got all excited and said, so loud, ‘Oh yeah, fo’ shiz, fo’ shiz! Ginuwine, what’s up homie?'”
People magazine recently asked Ginuwine about the incident. He’s not sure it actually happened.
Yeah, yeah, I definitely heard about it. People were calling about that. But I can tell you I don’t remember that happening. I truly don’t remember that happening. If Justin would’ve did something like that, I probably would’ve looked at him like, ‘Why are you acting like that?’” he explained. “If he did that, that would be something that I would remember. That would’ve definitely stuck out. So nah, I don’t remember that happening.”
