Megan Thee Stallion wants to make it very clear that she has no beef with Justin Timberlake. On Wednesday morning (Sept. 13), the Grammy-winning “Savage” rapper took to TikTok clear up any confusion stemming from a widely misinterpreted video from backstage at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday night (Sept. 12).
In a hilarious move, Megan’s TikTok finds her conversing with Timberlake while using her hands to accent her phrases — but viewers can’t hear anything that the two are saying. Instead, Megan posted the video to the soundtrack of Do As Infinity’s “Fukai Mori,” a 2001 J-pop ballad that served as the second ending theme for a popular anime series titled Inuyasha — a nod to her well-documented love for anime.
In the short interaction, Megan Thee is getting a make-up touch-up as *NSYNC's five members pass by. Justin Timberlake seemingly leans toward her. She takes a step forward and raises her arm, shaking her hands and pointer finger back and forth. Joey Fatone appears to chime in after. As they finish walking, she turns away and rolls her eyes.
It's unclear what words were exchanged between Megan and Timberlake, as audio was not included in the clip. But that hasn't stopped fans from debating what, exactly, was said, and whether an argument had taken place.
VMAs ceremony appeared to show her and Timberlake in some kind of verbal altercation. However, a source told Billboard that Megan was simply excited to meet Timberlake, insisting on a proper introduction in a less chaotic environment.
Both artists had memorable VMAs nights outside of this viral moment. Megan, alongside Cardi B, debuted the first live performance of their funky new “Bongos” collaboration, while Timberlake reunited with his *NSYNC bandmates for the first time in 10 years.
Both performers had a big night at the VMAs, which was held at the Prudential Center in New Jersey. 
The “Sweetest Pie” rapper debuted her latest single and collaboration with Cardi B, “Bongos” live for the first time on the MTV stage. Megan's hit song “Her” was also up for three nominations: best art direction, best direction and best choreography. 
Timberlake stunned the crowd, along with his former *NSYNC bandmates, as the iconic pop group reunited to present the award for best pop video. The “Can’t Stop This Feeling” singer appeared with Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass on stage. They ended up thrilling Taylor Swift, who could barely contain her excitement when they eventually presented her with the Moon Person.
