It’s never the VMAs without drama, real, manufactured or imagined, and the first hour of Tuesday night’s show was no exception. Either before or after her performance with Cardi B of their new single “Bongos,” fan footage of Megan Thee Stallion apparently getting into an argument with Justin Timberlake, who took the stage with his (reunited?) bandmates in NSYNC early in the show.
In a crowded area backstage, Megan is seen getting glam while the members of NSYNC pass. Timberlake, smiling, is seen leaning in to say something to her. Megan responds, pointing her finger emphatically and then turns away, looking angry.
The group’s Joey Fatone then says something as well.
It looks like an argument, but a backstage source who witnessed the exchange tells Variety there was “zero fight.”
“He said, ‘It’s so nice to meet you,’ and she said ‘No, no this don’t count, this don’t count. We gotta meet proper.’
“It was very cute,” the source says. Variety will have more on the situation as it develops.
