In the wake of the ongoing feud between Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, the latter shared a post showing love for Janet Jackson.
Even though she kept it positive and expressed admiration for Jackson, some fans believe that she is throwing shade at Timberlake with her post.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, February 24, 2024, and later deleting it, Spears wrote: “Thank you to this beautiful lady for keeping my dreams and heart alive. She’s always been the deepest and brightest woman at the same time. She went through so much but I feel she is someone I will look up to for the rest of my life.”
The 42-year-old Toxic singer also shared a snap of Jackson’s 1993 Janet album cover and expressed appreciation for her music and the unique way of untangling intelligence to a far more clear view than anyone could ever imagine.
The Super Bowl halftime show is often labeled as one of the most highly anticipated and talked-about events of the year. However, the infamous halftime show performance by Justin Timberlake and Jackson in 2004 left memories in the hearts and minds of fans, even a decade after it occurred.

The show began with a performance of Rock Your Body by Timberlake and Jackson, and the two artistes were clearly in sync, dancing and singing their hearts out for the millions of viewers watching at home.
Things took a surprising turn when Timberlake reached over and ripped off a piece of Jackson’s costume, exposing her breast for a brief moment. The incident, which soon became known as “Nipplegate,” caused a massive uproar, as the image of Jackson’s exposed breast was seen by millions of viewers, many of whom were outraged by the explicit nature of the performance.
The fallout from the incident was swift and severe – Jackson’s music and videos were banned from many radio and television stations, and she was even disinvited from attending the Grammy Awards that year.
Timberlake, on the other hand, managed to largely escape unscathed, leading to accusations of sexism and double standards in the entertainment industry.
Despite the controversy, both Timberlake and Jackson have continued to have successful careers in the years since the incident.
