A recent backstage video from the 2023 MTV VMAs went viral where Megan Thee Stallion appeared to be arguing with Justin Timberlake. The short clip appeared on X on September 13, 2023, and quickly began circulating on other social media platforms as well.
Though Megan’s words to Justin could not be heard in the footage, fans immediately assumed the worst because of the way the exchange between the two looked from afar.
In the clip, the 28-year-old rapper was seen getting a hair touch-up backstage when Justin Timberlake and his bandmates from NSYNC walked by. The latter appeared to say something to Megan with a smile on his face, to which Megan then waved an enthusiastic finger at the Mirrors hitmaker and responded to whatever he said.
However, her gestures and demeanor made it look like she was somewhat mad at Timberlake, who only smiled along with one of his band members, Joey Fatone, and walked away.
As expected, netizens kept wondering what Timberlake might have said to Megan for her to react that way. One user left a comment on The Shade Room's post about the same and sarcastically wrote that Justin Timberlake must have told her to "free Tory,"referring to Megan Thee Stallion's legal battle with Canadian rapper Tory Lanez.

One user even joked that Timberlake probably asked the Savage singer about the condition of her foot.
