Timbaland Faces Backlash for Controversial Britney Spears Comments
Renowned music producer Timbaland has found himself in hot water following contentious remarks made about Britney Spears during a public event. The controversy unfolded during ‘Sound Architects: A Producer Conversation with Timbaland’ at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
In response to a fan’s question regarding Britney Spears’ recent allegations about Justin Timberlake, including claims about a forced abortion and Timberlake’s alleged use of a “blaccent” when conversing with Ginuwine, Timbaland defended his friend. “She going crazy, bruh,” he remarked. “I wanted to call JT and say ‘Man! You should have put a muzzle on that girl, man!'”
The comments sparked widespread criticism from fans, with many expressing their dismay and disapproval. One individual highlighted, “I’m glad Britney is speaking up; their reactions are just proving that everything she said is true.” Another criticized Timbaland, referencing his past controversial comments about Aaliyah and suggesting his resentment toward Britney’s refusal to work with him.
Amid the controversy, an excerpt from Britney Spears’ new memoir, ‘The Woman In Me,’ narrated by actor Michelle Williams, surfaced. The excerpt detailed an account of Timberlake’s alleged use of a “blaccent” while interacting with Ginuwine, depicting a moment where Spears felt discomfort with his behavior.
While Timberlake has yet to respond to Spears’ claims, singer Kandi Burruss stepped forward in his defense, citing the cultural context of the time, expressing, “That era of pop and R&B, it was a lot of boy bands that did, like, urban music, urban routines and dancing, the whole image.”
Despite the ongoing controversy and varied reactions, Timberlake has remained silent on the allegations made by his ex-partner Britney Spears.
