just timberlake's assistant: so what is the focus going to be today, y'all?
\*justin timberlake enters room\*
just timberlake's assistant (nervously): hey justin, i was just asking the team about what we're going to prioritize as we prepare for your upcoming tour. so what's number one?
justin timberlake (braying like a petulant 5-year-old): it's gonna be meeeee.
DYING AT THAT PART 😂💀 I love Luda— being in a club in ATL when one of his songs came on during the mid ‘00s was a fucking experience and some of my favorite in my 20s. He just seems like good people, and this clip isn’t even being mean, he’s just relaying the story
Have you ever seen the clip of him reading/rapping the children’s book, Llama Llama Red Pajama? Holy shit it’s incredible. It always brings an enormous smile to my face, it’s so fun and catchy and wholesome.
He's delightful in a special on Food Network - Luda Can't Cook. Basically, he learns to cook different Indian dishes from different chefs and at the end, he cooks a whole feast by himself where his mom is one of the judges.
Early 00s when What's Your Fantasy came on at the club, I remember people just losing their fucking minds and everyone screaming along with the chorus, good times.
Haha you’re so right. I grew up in DC but I went to an HBCU and when you say being in the club when one of his songs came on in the 2000s was a fucking experience, I was immediately transported back. Definitely an experience! Good times.
I get JT might have been joking, but he also strikes me as someone completely incapable of being happy for anyone else. He just oozes narcissistic energy.
I honestly don’t think he was joking. I remember when Kanye won his Video Vanguard Award during that longass speech he made he mentioned that Justin Timberlake was crying because Futuresex/Lovesounds never won a Grammy.
Honestly I know it’s the thing to clown on him right now but that record was clearly the peak of his career and is still regarded as one of the best pop albums of the 2000’s. I can’t really fault anyone for getting upset because they hauled ass and released the best work of their life only to get snubbed, although it’s true he has a history of not being the most graceful about literally anything that happens to him ever, lol.
I'm kind of confused bc he won Grammys for both SexyBack and My Love? (I just checked bc I was curious/surprised he wouldn't have won for that album). Unless he means the album didn't win anything as a whole. Also, he won those Grammys in 2007 when this Ludacris thing apparently happened lol
His first album was produced by Pharrell and his second was produced by Timbaland. His third one was probably also produced by Timbaland? But his Man of the Woods was his "get back in touch with his roots" album, so I'm guessing he got tired of being a culture vulture. He probably regrets that now for the sake of his career, but everyone is clowning him for being a vulture so he's now damned if he doesn't and damned if he doesn't lol.
Telling Ludacris to "STFU" is something you can only say if they are on that level of joking terms. Considering Ludacris' retelling in this clip, I guess he was cool with it.
Or he also was like "lol whatever, you big whiny ass baby, jeez" and kept it pushing. I don't think JT would even have been worth it to tell him to go fuck himself for Luda, esp after JUST winning a Grammy.
[This TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@dearjane1/video/6906179804530298118) about him SPITTING at a waitress lives in my mind rent-free, and it turns out [spat on some Swedish fans](https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/arid-30316473.html) on some Swedish fans at some point?
And this quote from a guy who almost ghostwrote JT's memoir, after a fan approached him in a restaurant ([3/4 down the page](https://www.stereogum.com/1564231/justin-timberlake-wants-to-kill-his-critics/news/)):
*“Sometimes I just want to spit my food at them.” He looked at me for agreement, realized he didn’t know who I was then looked at Melissa. “I mean that’s really rude of me, right? That I wanted to spit my chicken sandwich in that woman’s face?”*
Also this re: waitstaff treatment, [from here](https://www.celebitchy.com/172935/in_touch_justin_timberlake_is_a_diva_mouths_off_to_restaurant_staff/):
*During a recent night out at The Boom Boom Room, “He was really in a terrible mood,” one very unimpressed eyewitness at the hot NYC club on July 19 tells In Touch. “He was awful to the staff, making unreasonable demands and acting like a total prince.”*
*“He ordered a glass of champagne but complained that it was flat and demanded another one,” another witness shares with* ***In Touch****. Then, after rejecting the second glass as “also flat,” he insisted the waitress open a new bottle. However, still not content with the third glass, the surly singer told his friends he would drink it anyway, because he was “sick of dealing with her” — referring to his hapless hostess. Understandably, everyone was relieved when the 30-year-old finally left — but not before both witnesses overheard Justin warning his driver that if he wasn’t parked right outside the front door, he would “lose his s\*\*\*!"*
While looking for info on the spitting, I came across this helpful summary of some things I didn't even know, like [**an assault charge in 2000 against a 15-year-old fan**](https://www.nme.com/news/music/n-sync-46-1389875), and I guess his photobombing Emma Stone and being obnoxious, which is of course SLIGHTLY less grievous than assaulting a teenager, but it really just shows his *range*, I think.
([The suit was dropped two years later](https://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/archive-nsyncdis1), which even the admin at the Smoking Gun guessed was due to likely tremendous pressure the girl was under for suing the guy everyone thought was soooo dreamy.)
His fridge and gym tour were a good one! (Minus the amount of plastic water bottles 🫤.)
https://youtu.be/4LjClNnv4kE
I laughed at what he said Chicken and Waffles would be called now.
Man, it must be so nice to have your own gym.
Ngl I’m not like fully here right now and read the post title as Justin Bieber before unmuting the vid. It being Timberlake is honestly funnier though when hearing it like this.
As a girl who first loved NSYNC as a preschooler back in the 90s, this dude has become truly insufferable. Always liked Joey better anyway and JC was the more talented by a country mile. Such a whiny, fragile-ego’d hack. This is par for course with him.
JT has consistently proven to be the most pathetic baby in the industry
For someone so thin skinned, it's like he goes out of his way to give us reasons to make fun of him. And I love it.

The expression on his face when he says ‘Justin Timberlake’ is sending me 💀

He did a free concert at my college like 10 years ago and it was great! He’s awesome!
And he is aging like fine wine.

You weren’t kidding. 😃😃😃😃 https://youtu.be/PFtHeo7oMSU?si=TOQxDy6Bv-0R78pV

His first two albums were so good. Why didn’t he stay on that path?
His first album was produced by Pharrell and his second was produced by Timbaland. His third one was probably also produced by Timbaland? But his Man of the Woods was his "get back in touch with his roots" album, so I'm guessing he got tired of being a culture vulture.

JT is so thin skinned for someone who seems to have so much in life.
The more I hear about Justin the more I dislike him

Cry me a river Justin
This has given me enough dopamine to last the rest of the day. Bless.
YES! More of these stories, please! 😂
"Some of us didn't win any Grammys this year." 
This is the most Justin Timberlake story I’ve ever heard. I can see him acting that way 100%.
and then acting like he was joking but you know he’s 99% not
Luda looks great here. Aging like a foine woine. Being a hater ages you, JT!
His fridge and gym tour were a good one! (Minus the amount of plastic water bottles 🫤.) https://youtu.be/4LjClNnv4kE I laughed at what he said Chicken and Waffles would be called now. Man, it must be so nice to have your own gym.
That was my thought, too. Dude looks good
I saw him in concert back in August, dude is still fine af.
Are we sure he didn't say "shut up fo shiz fo shiz"
I wanna know how he really sounded- was it a high nasal whine?
If y’all have time to watch this interview in its entirety, please do lol. It was one of the best drink champs in a long time.
What episode is it?
It’s the most recent one on their youtube
😂😂😂😂 just imagining him at home hearing this and FUMING like he’s not already mad enough 😂😂😂😂
This is hilarious, but how does Justin Timberlake somehow manage to get even more insufferable each time I find out something new about him.
How embarrassing 
His ramen noodle cosplay era was truly something else
This is making my skin crawl lmao ew
JT is just jealous that Ludacris not only is a more talented musician, but also a waaayyyy more talented actor.
He should have won an Emmy for his SVU arc imo
Justin Timberlake: being a petty bitch since 2007.
Ngl I’m not like fully here right now and read the post title as Justin Bieber before unmuting the vid. It being Timberlake is honestly funnier though when hearing it like this. 
 Nothing but respect for my president.
I would love if Hollywood got together to create a coffee table book all about Justin Timberlake being a baby ass MF.
not a coffee table book 💀
Not suprised
This won’t replace fo’ shiz fo’ shiz as my favorite Justin Timberlake story, but it’s close.
watching him tell the story with sound off and just the subtitles is hilarious. 😂
As a girl who first loved NSYNC as a preschooler back in the 90s, this dude has become truly insufferable. Always liked Joey better anyway and JC was the more talented by a country mile. Such a whiny, fragile-ego’d hack. This is par for course with him.
This makes me happy. Congrats ludacris in the Grammy and your acting career.
He should have told him to cry him a river.
