Britney Spears Apologizes To Justin Timberlake

Britney Spears is apologizing to Justin Timberlake amid his latest music release of "Selfish." Funnily enough, Spears has a song named "Selfish" herself, which was released in 2011 from her Femme Fatale album. The "Womanizer" singer posted to her Instagram Sunday (January 28) night a clip of JT's late-night show performance with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots with classroom instruments. She wrote in her caption: " I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song 'Selfish.'  It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard ???"

She added that "Sanctified" is "wow [heart eyes emojji] too." He debuted the song over the weekend during his Saturday Night Live musical appearance alongside Tobe Nwigwe. Timberlake's "Selfish" was released Friday, but fans of Spears overtook JT's streams the very next day, according to NBC News. Timberlake's sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was, drops on March 15. He will then embark on a world tour, with a first leg of 22 dates announced so far.

The exes' chart face-off comes after Spears revealed in her memoir, The Woman in Me, that she had an abortion while pregnant with the *NSYNC alum's child. As we previously reported, the two opted for an abortion. She claims he was the one who pushed for it. Spears wrote, “Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.” They mentioned that the decision to have an abortion continued to have a lasting impact on Spears. She was 19 at the time. She felt Timberlake was the love of her life during their relationship, which lasted three years until 2002.

In Spears' post, she praised JT's musical and comedic abilities. She started off by apologizing "for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry…" Following her memoir's passages about Timberlake, he disabled his Instagram comments temporarily. However, with his new music releasing and his recent SNL performance, fans of Britney flood his comments calling him out based on her memoir's claims about him. One person commented on his Instagram, "Will he Talk about Britney‘s abortion he demanded? And how he build his solo career on lies about her and that he cheated and Not Britney?" Another comment read: "*Regina George voice* Stop trying to make “Justin” happen. It’s NOT going to happen!" Meanwhile another commented, "Britney Spears' song Selfish is much better than your song. And you continue using her to promote yourself by choosing the name of one of her songs."
