Britney Spears‘ best-selling memoir The Lady in Me featured the tales behind plenty of iconic and tough moments from the “Poisonous” singer’s life and profession. However one that actually struck a chord with so many followers — because of actress Michelle Williams’ unforgettable studying of it within the audiobook model — was a scene during which Brit described an alleged run-in with R&B singer Ginuwine during which then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake flexed his rizz for the “Pony” star.
Based on Spears, JT’s affinity for Black artists throughout his *NSYNC days manifested when the “Cry Me a River” singer acquired excited upon recognizing Ginuwine on the road. “They had been white boys, however they beloved hip-hop… *NSYNC frolicked with black artists. Generally I assumed they tried too onerous to slot in,” Spears wrote within the e book.
“In the future J and I had been in New York, going to elements of city I’d by no means been to earlier than. Strolling our means was a man with an enormous, blinged-out medallion,” Spears stated of the one who was flanked by “two big safety guards.” Based on Spears, that prompted Justin to get “all excited and stated so loud, ‘Oh yeah, fo shiz, fo shiz! Ginuwiiiiine! What’s up, homie?”
Right here’s the factor, although. When Billboard caught up with Ginuwine this week after his elimination from The Masked Singer, the 53-year-old crooner born Elgin Baylor Lumpkin had no recollection in anyway of that iconic second.
“Nah, I don’t do not forget that,” Ginuwine laughed when requested if the Spears account jibed together with his reminiscence. “I might have most likely checked out him very bizarre if he did that like she stated,” he added. “I simply don’t do not forget that, however I keep in mind him [Timberlake] being a cool dude and me kicking it down there in Florida with [*NSYNC’s] producer at one time.”
However, sorry, Ginuwine simply “fo shiz” didn’t keep in mind any of it.
