Timbaland Apologizes to Britney Spears and Fans After Controversial Comment About Pop Star

Over the past few days, Timbaland received backlash from online fans after he made an insensitive comment about Britney Spears and his good pal Justin Timberlake.

More recently, the record producer appeared to have re-think his actions as he finally issued an apology to the pop star because of his choice of words.

Taking to his official TikTok account, the musician held a livestream where he said: "I apologize to the Britney fans and her. Yeah, so you know, about respecting women? Hell yeah."

Despite offering his apology, it seems like fans still didn't forgive him as they took to social media to express their frustrations.
