The singer’s fans rejected the artist’s new song from the charts. Both songs have the same name
Britney Spears he apologized for some statements in his book The woman in me this Monday, 29. In the work, he provided details about his relationship with Justin Timberlake, which took place between the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s, was full of controversy, such as the musician’s betrayals. The artist’s revelations about his ex’s behavior have sparked a lot of criticism.
Britney’s apology came after Timberlake released the track Selfish, which reached the top of the iTunes charts. However, as the artist has a song of the same name, released in 2011, from the album Fatal fame, the artist’s fans were outraged by the song’s title. That’s why on Friday the 25th they replaced Justin’s single with Britney’s.
On Instagram, Britney shared a video of Timberlake with Jimmy Fallon. “I want to apologize for some of the things I wrote in my book. If I have offended anyone I care about, I am deeply sorry. I also want to say that I love Justin Timberlake’s music Selfish” she wrote.
Past crises
The clash between the “egoists” of the iTunes chart is a response from Britney’s fans to Justin Timberlake. It all starts in 2023, when Britney publishes her autobiography, The woman in mein which she reveals her relationship with the singer between 1999 and 2002.
Although the romance was idealized by many teenagers at the time, Britney says she felt boycotted after it ended, as parts of the media seemed to have taken on the boy’s pain – Justin became the “betrayed good guy” and, for Britney, she ended up remaining the stereotype of the “cheating hag”.
In her book, Britney also reveals that he cheated on her more than once, and also mentions an abortion the singer had because her then-boyfriend didn’t want the baby, which sparked fury from fans.
Justin had already made a mea culpa in 2021, when he apologized to his ex in an Instagram post. The request came after the release of the documentary Framing Britney Spears: Life of a Star, which laid bare the singer’s mental health issues and the controversy surrounding her conservatorship. It seems that a friendly atmosphere has been created between the former couple – it remains to be seen whether fans will agree with this.
