As OK! previously reported, fans were confused when the "WAP" singer and the *NSYNC members, which includes Timberlake along with JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone, looked like they were fighting.
The public took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their rumored predictions of the recorded interaction.
"Either Justin said something wildly out of pocket to her, or she's saying 'This does not count,' maybe referring to them just presenting together as a 'reunion' instead of performing. Idk," someone alleged, while another user questioned, "Wtf did he say to her???"
However, like Megan Thee Stallion herself, sources came out confirming the fan theories were false.
