Backstage video from the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards got people talking after Megan Thee Stallion appeared to have a heated exchange with Justin Timberlake—but all was not as it seemed.

One of music's biggest nights happened this week when the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards took over Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center.

Several of music's biggest stars were there, but for a moment it seemed like the most memorable show might have been the backstage fireworks going off between rapper Megan Thee Stallion and pop star Justin Timberlake.


While getting a hair and makeup touch-up behind the scenes, Megan appeared to be taking Timberlake to task for a moment, pointing her finger at him and seeming to yell at him in anger.

Timberlake seemed to laugh the moment off, but it would be easy to interpret his laugh as derisive. Immediately, X, aka Twitter, lit up with music fans trying to suss out what had gone down.

A theory took hold that Timberlake had said hello to Megan, and she replied that in the midst of her hair and makeup touch-up was not the time or place for chit-chat. Yikes.

Megan fans were ready to come at Timberlake in their girl's defense.






But it was later confirmed by Megan that nothing went down between the two—well, nothing besides mutual admiration, anyway. Megan told Entertainment Tonight that Timberlake told her it was nice to meet her as he walked past.

Megan, thrilled to see him, replied that they need to meet properly, and that "this does not count, this does not count!" The two did get to meet properly later that night, and Megan posted a clip of the encounter to TikTok with a caption confirming the two are now besties.

Megan wrote:

"I just talk with my hands lol."

Naturally, people online loved the moment between the two once the air was cleared.


Phew! Things are hard enough without our music icons feuding!

Trump Official Tries To Claim Antifa Is Top National 'Threat'—Then Flails Over Simple Questions

Michael Glasheen, the operations director of the National Security Branch, was criticized after he told members of Congress that Antifa is "the most immediate violent threat" to the U.S. and could not answer simple questions to justify his claim.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target. Despite this, President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order declaring it a "domestic terror organization," a move that's been celebrated by his supporters.

Her solo work like "What You Waiting For?" continued themes of frustration, identity, and breaking female stereotypes.

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was widely mocked after she was caught on video trying to get her congressional aides into a holiday party hosted by disgraced former New York Republican Representative George Santos in Washington, D.C., after the bouncer denied them entry.

Santos' political career was derailed by allegations of fabricating his background, misusing campaign funds for luxury items and Botox, and leaving a trail of victims behind him as a known fraud and identity thief. He has been soaking up attention since President Donald Trump commuted his prison sentence a couple of months ago.

Amanda Seyfried Refuses To Back Down After Calling Charlie Kirk 'Hateful': 'I'm Not F—king Apologizing'

Actor Amanda Seyfried said she has no plans to apologize after calling the assassinated far-right activist Charlie Kirk "hateful," telling Who What Wear that she merely "said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes."

Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at a university in Utah; the suspect was caught after a two-day manhunt and has since been charged. The Trump administration has used Kirk's murder as an opportunity to crack down on free speech and to target leftists even though the shooter is aligned with the far-right.
