One backstage encounter at the VMAs that has left fans speculating involved Justin Timberlake and Megan Thee Stallion after a video surfaced showing the two appearing to have a heated exchange. When the video of their exchange made its way to social media, rumors of a possible argument started circulating. However, sources tell Variety that Justin and Megan were actually being friendly to each other — it turns out that Justin approached Megan and expressed how nice it was to meet her.
“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 said. But Megan, being the perfectionist she is, insisted that it didn’t count and they needed to meet properly. Another source even mentioned that Megan was thrilled about meeting Justin, as it was their first time crossing paths, and it just so happened to be backstage at the VMAs.

Some fans speculated that Megan’s response to Justin’s greeting was in reference to a rumored N’Sync reunion, as she may have expected them to perform rather than just present an award. Without audio of the exchange, it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what was said between them, but sources say there is no bad blood between the two.
It’s worth noting that these rumors may be addressed during the press tour for the upcoming Trolls movie, in which *NSYNC is rumored to have a song. As both artists continue with their respective careers, it’s likely that this backstage encounter will be nothing more than a brief blip in their overall journeys.
Despite the initial speculation and rumors, it’s refreshing to hear that there was no actual argument between Justin Timberlake and Megan Thee Stallion backstage at the VMAs.
Instead, it seems like a simple miscommunication or misunderstanding took place. As fans eagerly await more news and updates from both Justin Timberlake and Megan Thee Stallion, it’s safe to say that this backstage encounter will soon become a distant memory in their successful careers.
