Justin Timberlake and Megan Thee Stallion were apparently spotted getting into it backstage at the VMAs, but is there actually bad blood between the two music legends?
VMAs: Stars turn out for 2023 MTV awards show
Inside sources have reportedly cleared up the rumors of an argument between Justin Timberlake and Megan Thee Stallion last night.
This year’s MTV Video Music Awards was a star-studded affair with plenty of the usual drama fans have come to expect from the ceremony.
Megan performed her new single Bongos with her regular collaborator Cardi B, but it was a backstage clip from either before or after the performance that dominated the headlines.
In the video, the singer crossed paths with Justin and his reunited NSYNC bandmates.
Unfortunately, their meeting looked like it didn’t go so well as Justin’s greeting was met with a supposedly angry response from Megan.
After he leaned in to say something, Megan responded by pointing her finger and giving an annoyed response, before turning away looking frustrated.
Fans assumed the two music icons were fighting, but a behind-the-scenes witness now claims that wasn’t the case.
A source who was backstage at the time said there was “zero fight” between Megan and Justin.

Meanwhile, the biggest story of the night was arguably Justin making an appearance alongside the rest of NSYNC.
Stars like Taylor Swift were in hysterics as Justin took to the stage with JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick.
When Taylor collected her award for Best Pop Video she asked the band, “Are you guys gonna do something? I need to know what it is!”
NSYNC hasn’t confirmed new music or an official reunion just yet, but there could be something on the horizon for the iconic boyband.
