Justin Timberlake sent fans into a frenzy after a wardrobe malfunction during his concert in Nashville on Friday night.
The 43-year-old pop star was performing at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena during his Forget Tomorrow World Tour when things took an unexpected turn, with a harness around his waist drawing attention to a particularly prominent area.
In one viral clip captured by a fanTimberlake can be seen performing with the armor sitting a little too high, making his crotch the star of the moment.
The camera zoomed in for a closer look as the singer awkwardly tugged on his shirt, seemingly in an attempt to hide the surprising bulge.
Naturally, social media exploded and trolls were quick to take notice, making fun of the situation with some cheeky comments.
One critic couldn’t resist a nod to JT’s SexyBack, writing, “Bringing micro back.”

Another joked: “The way he pulled his shirt to cover it up…” while one user dragged his wife, Jessica Biel, into the mix with a snap: “No wonder Jessica Biel looks miserable all the time looks.’
Timberlake may have been caught off guard, but it seems his fans were the ones who couldn’t keep it together.
“Definitely not Chris Brown in a suit of armor,” another posted, with someone adding: “The kind of guy who says, ‘Is it okay?
Yet another joked: “Jessica Biel, everything is fine girl.”
Timberlake’s recent clothing mishap comes more than a decade after his infamous Super Bowl incident with Janet Jackson.
During their 2004 performance, Timberlake, as a surprise guest, accidentally exposed Janet’s breast while removing part of her costume, revealing a sun-shaped nipple shield.
The fallout from the incident had a lasting impact on Janet’s career, with controversy overshadowing her performance, while Justin largely escaped public scrutiny.
The 2021 documentary Framing Britney Spears brought the issue back into the spotlight, prompting Timberlake to publicly apologize for his role in perpetuating misogyny and racism, and express regret to both Janet and Britney for his past actions.

“I deeply regret the times in my life when my actions contributed to the problem, when I spoke out of turn, or did not stand up for what was right,” he wrote in 2021.
“I understand that in these moments and many others, I have failed and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.” Justin added.
“I would like to specifically apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, both individually, because I care about and respect these women, and I know I failed.”
In her memoir The Woman in Me, Spears opened up about the pain she suffered after her breakup with Timberlake and his public comments that followed.
Britney acknowledged Timberlake’s apology, but made it clear that she is focused on healing and moving forward in her life.
