You can see both performances below.

Justin Timberlake revealed exciting news on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon as he announced his first tour in five years – The Forget Tomorrow World Tour.

“Selfish,” the lead single from the forthcoming album, features Timberlake’s signature soulful vocals and showcases his versatility as a musician. Fans can expect a dynamic performance reflecting Timberlake’s evolution since his 2018 release, Man of the Woods.

“Selfish” is crafted by a talented team including Timberlake, Louis Bell (Taylor Swift, Post Malone), Cirkut (Maroon 5, The Weeknd), Theron Thomas, and Amy Allen.

The music video, directed by Bradley J. Calder (SZA, Tinashe), offers a raw and honest portrayal of Timberlake as both an artist and an individual. By pulling back the curtain on the production process, the video seamlessly blends the line between performance and reality, bringing the introspectiveness of the song to life.

Usher Looks Back On The ‘Bidding War’ To Sign A Young Justin Bieber And Who He Was Up Against

Usher was a major force in helping get Justin Bieber’s pop star journey off the ground, as he and Scooter Braun created the label Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG) to sign Bieber and manage his career. Justin Timberlake was also pursuing Bieber at the time, and Usher looked back on this “bidding war” in a new People interview.

He explained:

“When you are at the top of your game, some of the greatest things will be presented to you, and it was, I think, right after [my album] Confessions that I was introduced to Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun. I presented Scooter an offer that I felt like he couldn’t resist. […] We built a friendship, but this would obviously create a partnership that would span us forever, and it was a bit of a bidding war between me and Justin Timberlake. […] I was like, ‘I’m not certain that I could understand each and every producer that this artist could benefit from, but what I can tell you is I’m going to give you my passion, and I’m going to give you every bit of what I have to offer.’”

For the record, there seem to be no hard feelings toward Timberlake from Usher, as he said, “I’ve always wanted to do a record with Justin, and I have reached out many times, but we’ve never managed to make it happen.”

USHER Discloses Longing Desire To Work With Justin Timberlake On New Music

No one can stop talking about USHER right now. But it is for good reason. The legendary R&B superstar has had a lot of important and exciting things going on in his life. If you were one of the few people who were not watching the Super Bowl this past weekend, he was the Halftime Show performer. To help celebrate that, he dropped his new album COMING HOME. Because of everything going on with him, everyone is reaching out for interviews. People got a hold of him and they talked about all the events in his life and one other unique topic. USHER was asked about Justin Timberlake and his willingness to work with him on new music.

It kind of makes sense why this question came up. Timberlake is an icon in his own right and was step for step with USHER in the early 2000s. Both had massive hits and even though they were/are fairly close no music has come out of their friendship. But, many painted them as rivals and USHER was asked about that. He shut that down according to AllHipHop, saying, “I’m in competition with no one other than myself… I’ve been motivated by people like Justin. I think that he has a legacy that should be respected and not compared to anybody else.”

USHER Denies Competition With Justin

In fact, USHER doubled down by saying he has always wanted to work with JT. “I’ve always wanted to do a record with Justin and have reached out many times, but we’ve never managed to make it happen. I think that he’s an amazing performer.” Maybe that window of opportunity is open right now. Justin does have his new album, Everything I Thought It Was, on March 15, so maybe they can eek out a collab before it drops.

What are your thoughts on USHER revealing he always wanted to work with Justin Timberlake? Do you think they can make something happen in time for Justin’s upcoming album? Is this a good idea for them to collaborate? What are your opinions on USHER’s Super Bowl show? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news la surrounding USHER and Justin Timberlake. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the world of music.

Ludacris Recalls A Surprising Encounter With Justin Timberlake Backstage At The Grammys

With the 2024 Grammys taking place over the weekend, the notorious award show is fresh in a lot of people’s minds. As is often the case that got a lot of fans and artists reminiscing on some of their favorite Grammy memories. One of which was Ludacris. The rapper recently made an appearance on Drink Champs to discuss his memories from years of attending the award show. But it was one particular backstage encounter during the 2007 Grammys that grabbed the attention of listeners.

The 2007 Grammys in particular were a big night for Ludacris. Though he had already won an award for his Usher and Lil Jon collab “Yeah” it was his first time winning for music of his own. He took home the Best Rap Album award for his project Release Therapy and also won Best Rap Song for the album’s biggest hit “Money Maker.” But while celebrating his victory backstage he had a surprising encounter. He calls someone saying “Shut the f*** up, some of us didn’t win any g****** Grammys!!!” in response to his celebration. After peeling back a curtain it was revealed, at least he suspects, to be Justin Timberlake who said it. Check out the full episode where he tells the story below.

Ludacris Shares His Justin Timberlake Grammys Story

This year’s Grammys also provided some moments that will probably make great podcast stories one day. The biggest is probably Killer Mike. He had a pretty substantial celebration after sweeping the hip-hop categories and taking home three straight awards. But his celebration was cut short when he was arrested shortly after for an incident that happened backstage.

When the story initially broke there was very little information, just videos of Mike in handcuffs circulating online. Since then he’s thankfully been released and some context was added to the incident and resulting arrest, though the full story from his perspective isn’t yet known. What do you think of Ludacris’ story about Justin Timberlake at the Grammys? Let us know in the comment section below.

Britney Spears Cosigns Justin Timberlake’s New Song Following Fan Campaign To Out-Stream It

Britney Spears fans still haven’t forgiven Justin Timberlake. Last year Spears shared her new memoir The Woman In Me which touched on some of her decades spent in the public eye. While there were a handful of people who weren’t pleased with some of the details in the book, nobody came out looking worse than Timberlake. Spears revealed that the former NSYNC member got her pregnant which led to a harrowing abortion. Then she detailed him ending their relationship via text.

In response, fans bombarded Justin Timberlake online. The backlash became so bad that Timberlake had to turn off the comments on his Instagram. But earlier this month he returned. First, he announced some private shows and shortly after a new single and album. The song is called “Selfish” and has racked up more than 4.5 million streams in the days since it first dropped. But Spears’ fans have tried to fight back. They’ve been streaming Britney’s identically-titled song “Selfish” in an attempt to divert attention away from Timberlake. While they seem to be doing a decent job, they don’t have the approval of Britney herself anymore.

Britney Apologizes For Her Book Controversies

In a new Instagram post made earlier today, Spears apologized for some of the controversy caused by her memoir. “I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry,” her caption reads. Though she doesn’t mention JT by name in that section of the post, she goes on to show her support for his new song.

The second half of her caption reads “I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish’ It is soo good.” The post came as a surprise to many fans who assumed that Spears still had hard feelings for Timberlake. What do you think of Britney apologizing for some of the controversy over her book? Do you think Spears’ “Selfish” is better than Justin Timberlake’s? Let us know in the comment section below.
