Justin Timberlake To Perform At The 2018 SuperBowl Halftime?

Justin Timberlake is reportedly finalizing the deal with the NFL to perform at the 2018 SuperBowl Halftime

Justin first played the NFL Halftime show in 2004 and his controversial action of ripping off part of Janet Jackson’s bustier had the media buzzing that month.

Janet Jackson was one of the main performers at the game. She performed some of her hit songs including “Rhythm Nation” and “The Knowledge.” She was then joined by JT, as her special guest, to sing “Rock Your Body.” They danced closely during the performance and at the end of the song when Timberlake sang ” ‘Cause I-I bet I’ll have you naked by the end of this song” he ripped her bustier open exposing her nipple.

Since then, Janet has been blacklisted from performing at any NFL event. Today, as speculations are being made that JT is inking a deal with the NFL, social media was not having it.

Here are some of the responses:

My only problem w/ Justin Timberlake is how he’s been able to flourish post-Super Bowl drama & how he never really shared the blame w/ Janet
