Britney Spears appears to throw shade at her ex Justin Timberlake in a cryptic post that fans are convinced is about the Cry Me A River singer.
Timberlake delivered the post to a crowd of fans performing in New York City, where he said, “I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely no one.”
Someone who attended the performance reported that Justin made the comment just before performing Cry Me A River, a 2002 breakup song he wrote about Britney.
Now it appears Spears is hitting back, as on Thursday the singer wrote on her Instagram account, “Someone told me someone was talking about me on the street!!!”

‘Do you want to take it to court or do you go to your mother crying, just like last time??? I’m not sorry !!!’
Timberlake seemingly responded to Spears’ recent apology to him for writing about their relationship in her memoir.
Last week, Justin released his new single Selfish, marking his first solo song release since 2018 when he launched his album Man of the Woods.
Britney’s fanbase responded by sending her 13-year-old bonus track of the same name up the charts, eventually dethroning it on US iTunes.
Following the move, Britney took to social media to praise Justin’s new music and apologize for “some things” she said in her memoir, The Woman In Me.
However, Justin apparently didn’t respond well to the post, as he hinted at his thoughts on the matter during a recent concert in New York City.
The video clip of him ‘apologizing to absolutely no one’ has now gone viral on X.
Britney said she “never meant for people to come after Justin” when she decided to open up about their three-year relationship in her 2023 autobiography.
On Thursday, the singer wrote on her Instagram account: “Someone told me someone was talking about me on the street!!!”
Her fans were outraged when the tell-all exposed several bombshells, including the claim that Justin urged her to have an abortion.
According to an insider, Britney felt extremely guilty about the fallout her ex-partner faced in the aftermath of her book’s publication, as she was unaware of the commotion her confessions would cause.
A source exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com: ‘She didn’t realize how powerful her words would be.
“As for what she said in her book, she never intended for people to come after Justin the way they did.
‘Ultimately, it was Britney’s decision to abort her baby. It was her body and if she really wanted to say no, she could have.”
The 43-year-old singer showed little remorse for his part in the feud, telling fans he was concerned: “I want to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely no one.”

Britney extended an olive branch to her ex as she apologized on Instagram for “some things” she wrote, while also praising Justin’s two new songs Selfish and Sanctified.
The insider stressed that Britney still wishes the best for her former partner – who has yet to contact Britney to apologize for his alleged actions.
The source said: “You will always have feelings for the first person you loved. Justin has defended her before, and she didn’t want to hurt him as much as she did and change people’s opinion of him…
“It was her story and she told it how she thought it should be told.”

“I want to apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book,” she wrote. “If I have offended any of the people I really care about, I am deeply sorry…”
“I also wanted to say that I’m in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish.’ It’s so good and why does it make me laugh so hard every time I see Justin and Jimmy together? Ps “Sanctified” is also wow.”
Justin came under fire from Britney’s fans after she told her side of the story 20 years after their split, with many angered by her claim that in his single Cry Me a River, she was vilified for their breakup.
