Janet Better Not Answer Justin Timberlake’s Calls

2004.
i remember i saw ^that incident live.
“nipplegate” starring janet and justin timberlake.
i was at my homeboys crib for that superbowl.
it happened so fast.
i think i blinked mid titty.
i got mad calls right after like…

“DID YOU SEE THAT??!!?!?!?”

yes.
i think i did.
we all did.
well,
after that,
janet took a severe career hit.
one can say she hasn’t fully recovered from it.
according to sources,
she was alleged banned from the superbowl.
maybe even cbs?
i can’t remember.
justin went unscathed tho.
in 2017,
justin timberlake will be headlining this years superbowl.
everyone think justin should bring janet out,
sans titty.
he never apologized to her,
but that “banned” situation is blocking that from happening.
the nfl claims they never banned janet via entertainment weekly:

The NFL has now taken steps to defuse the tensions surrounding Timberlake’s booking. “There’s no ban” on a possible Jackson appearance, an NFL spokesperson wrote in a statement to EW. “We are not going to comment on any speculation regarding potential guests. There may be no guests.”

The statement continued: “Along with Pepsi, we’re excited to have Justin Timberlake. Like the elite NFL players who can run, catch, and block, Justin can do it all — sing, dance, act, and entertain. He’s the ultimate global superstar who we know will put on an entertaining and unifying show that will appeal to the massive worldwide audience.”

x ( uh huh ).

since black twitter runs life,
and the nfl is under a lot of scrutiny these days,
they had no choice but to deny.
i remember hearing how janet was banned for life.
that shit was everywhere around that time.
personally,
i’m not looking forward for justin to perform.
janet would be stupid to share the stage with him also.
he legit let her take all the heat for it,
yet he was the one who pulled the damn thing off her.
funny how that worked.

lowkey: i wish i could find that video of janet cussing out justin after.
she was going completely in on him as they walked towards backstage.
hand movements and all.
sorta similar to this:

  1. Nope. Janet shouldn’t do it. Once you been burn by somebody like Justin. why would you team up with him again.

  2. As a Janet stan, I’m torn. There is a part of me that screams “NO” but I can be seduced by the prospect of a performance turning in her favor and supporting her legacy which MANY people have tried to erase. I will have seen 4 State of the World shows by then and I’ve seen multiple shows on every tour, so I think I will just sit back and let this play out. As a fan, I will be fine either way…

  3. Janet is a from my generation and is a Goddess, just like all the other icons past, (TLC, Whitney, SWV…etc) I can completely understand if she doesn’t accept. But wait? Janet can do it all as well??? She can sing, dance, act, and entertain.

    She’s the ultimate global superstar who we know will put on an entertaining and unifying show that will appeal to the massive worldwide audience.

    I’m not really a fan of Justin’s music…I mean I guess some songs are okay if I don’t pay much attention to his voice.

    Anywho, I will always love Janet…I remember when I was a kid and her video “If” came out and my mama caught me downstairs doing the breakdown. Good times. I wish her the best. 😀

  4. On one hand I think she should accept because her career has finally recovered and she’s back to being the most popular of her generation. Mariah is checked out mentally and on Earth, outside of touring Madonna has been laid to rest, and no one really talks about her but 50 y.o. + gay men. And my sweet Whitney has been in heaven for sometime now. However ALOT of ppl from my generation #millienials are rooting for her and check for her. It would be great promo for an new album. On the other hand it would be some G shit if she told them to go fuck themselcea.

  5. Nah, she don’t need to perform with him. She’s doing fine without him.

    That would be the perfect stage/platform for him to issue a public apology though…but he doesn’t feel he did anything wrong. He never accepted responsibility for his part in the performance, so I say fuck him.
    I like some of his songs, but he ain’t all that. His moves and vocals are borrowed from blacks, so he can pretend all he wants.

    Janet…don’t accept!

    1. Oh, @Christian, I just wish other black folk got the point. I’ve seen defiant black Timberlake fans who try to blame it all on Janet….

  6. I totally agree that Janet should do the half time show with Justin, only with an apology from him and the NFL!! It’s time to move on from what happened over 10 years ago and it was silly as hell how people OVER REACTED to a female body part that was mistakenly shown for a quick second!! Janet doesn’t need to do it, but I really hope this happens to show the world that she is unbreakable!!!

    1. Exactly! Plus it’ll put to rest those constant, played out, ‘nipple gate’ jokes. It’s way more important things now to worry about than that. It’s been way more seen, said, and did on TV since then also. Including a joke of a now President wanting to grab a woman’s p—y.

  7. I think Janet should accept an invitation to perform with Justin. But only if Justin and the NFL issue a public apology to her. It would be the ultimate vindication for Janet and her career. She has already been accepted back by her fans, that were salty over her tour cancellation to give birth a couple of years ago
