Timbaland Apologizes To Britney Spears After Viral Muzzle Comment

Timbaland has apologized after recently saying that his frequent collaborator Justin Timberlake “should have put a muzzle” on his ex Britney Spears. During a live interview with 9th Wonder at the Kennedy Center in late October, Timbaland was asked about the renewed interest toward their duo’s song “Cry Me a River” following the release of Spears memoir. “She going crazy, right?” Timbaland replied. “I wanted to call JT, ‘Man, you gotta put a muzzle on that girl. He added, “But you know what? We live in an age of social media and everybody wanna go viral. I get it, because that’s the way you make money. Go viral. The backlash was, expectedly, severe after a clip from the interview starting making the rounds online this week. Last night, Timbaland went live on TikTok, which he does regularly, to offer an apology. I’m sorry to all the Britney fans, even to her,” he said in the video. “I’m sorry, because muzzle was—no, you have a voice. You speak what you want to speak. Who am I to tell you what not to speak? And I was wrong for saying that. I was looking at it from a different lens and what I am is a reconcile person. I’m not a person who takes sides… I apologize to the Britney fans and her.
