Britney Spears appears to shade Justin Timberlake in new Instagram post
The singer has seemingly hinted that Justin once cried after she beat him in a basketball game.
Is Justin Timberlake a sore loser? Well, if one of Britney Spears' latest Instagram posts is anything to go by the answer is a resounding "yes".
The 'Toxic' singer shared an interesting Instagram post following Justin's appearance in Las Vegas last week.
Before singing his 2002 hit song, 'Cry Me A River', Justin shared a disclaimer with the audience.
"No disrespect," he said before he started singing the song.
The song came under the spotlight again after Britney released her memoir, 'The Woman In Me', in October.
Britney revealed in the book that she had an abortion while dating Justin between 1999 and 2002.
"Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father. To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life," she wrote in her book.
Shortly after their breakup, Justin released 'Cry Me A River' - a song about a cheating lover. A Britney lookalike feature in the track's music video.
Fans were appalled that he released such an accusatory video knowing what he allegedly put Britney through.
Hence, the disclaimer during his performance at the opening of Fontainebleau Hotel in Vegas.
