Justin Timberlake Shows Love for Kanye West
Justin Timberlake, the 32-year-old singer-songwriter, recently revealed his true feelings about rapper Kanye West, who he may have subliminally addressed during a recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live."
Timberlake was recently questioned about changing some lyrics in his song "Suit & Tie" during a recent appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."
"Did it seem that way? I don't remember that," Timberlake told Fallon playfully. "Did I change a line? It is live. You know everyone, really keep calm."
Instead of singing the original lyrics to the song "(expletive) so sick got a hit and picked up a habit," Timberlake crooned, "My hit's so sick got rappers acting dramatic," while on SNL.
The lyric change came shortly after West, the 35-year-old rap mogul, made negative mention of Timberlake's song "Suit & Tie" during a London performance last month. West was vocal about his feelings toward Timberlake's song "Suit & Tie" despite the fact that the singer collaborated with the former's longtime mentor and friend Jay-Z.
"I got love for Hov, but I ain't (expletive) with that 'Suit &Tie,'" West told a crowd in London during a performance last month.
After fans caught wind of Timberlake's revised rendition of his song that seemingly took a verbal jab at West, they reacted on Twitter. One person approved of Timberlake's choice to do so on the sketch comedy show.
"Justin Timberlake with the incredibly smooth response to Kanye's ill advised diss of 'Suit & Tie' on SNL was done perfectly," one fan tweeted.
Another fan thought Timberlake's response might spark a feud between the pair of entertainers, and seemed ready to be a spectator in what would result from the SNL jab.
"Welp... Justin Timberlake/ Kanye West beef starts in 3..2..1... *grabs seat and popcorn,*" the person tweeted.
However, Timberlake insisted that he had no ill feelings toward West when he appeared on the Fallon show.
"For the record I absolutely love Kanye. So there's that," Timberlake said before addressing the audience on Fallon. "We love Kanye, right?"
