Ludacris Walks Back On Some Details Of Viral Justin Timberlake Story

Earlier this year during his appearance on an episode of Drink Champs, Ludacris told a pretty evocative story about an encounter with Justin Timberlake at the Grammys. It came back in 2007 when Luda finally broke through and took home the award for Best Rap Album for his record Release Therapy. The part of the story everyone seems to agree on is that he was loudly and excitedly celebrating backstage, as you'd expect after such a big win. When he originally told the story he claimed that a most spiteful sounding Timberlake criticized him for being so loud when others people didn't win any Grammys.




Now, Ludacris is walking back on that claim. He recently appeared on Hot Ones with Sean Evans to answer some questions and eat some hot wings. The Justin Timberlake story came up during their conversation and Luda had to clarify some things. "The Internet went a little crazy with it. He definitely meant it, but it was no cursing out. He was behind the curtain and I was celebrating so openly and I was so loud. I think it was said more in fun, but there was definitely some truth behind it. Like, 'OK, show's not over. Stop celebrating so openly, I haven't won any yet.' With a smile on his face type of thing," the rapper explained. Check out his full appearance on the unique interview show below.

Justin Timberlake is fresh off the release of his first new album since his much-maligned 2018 release Man Of The Woods. His new record is called Everything I Thought It Was and served up nearly 80 minutes of new music from the pop star. It was led off by the hit single "Selfish" which peaked in the high 20s on the Hot 100 and has hovered in the top 50 ever since.
