Justin Timberlake faces surprising competition from Britney Spears
Now, however, he has competition from his ex: The fan account “Britney Stan” spread the fake news on “X” on January 22nd in response to Timberlake’s music announcement: “Britney Spears will be hers this Thursday, January 25th release new single ‘Selfish'”. With success: Spears’ “Selfish” has now made it into the US top ten on iTunes, as “Entertainment Weekly” reports. However, the song is anything but new, it is 13 years old. It had already appeared on the deluxe version of “Femme Fatale” in 2011.
Fan account: “I still can’t believe this got this big”
Another fan account called “BritneyxYtube” told Entertainment Weekly that the campaign started as a joke. “Then we all joined in, saying Britney Spears was coming back with a brand new song. I still can’t believe it got so big and that’s what came out of it.”
Some Spears fans may have been bitterly disappointed with the fan accounts: Spears had recently announced on Instagram that she had no plans for a comeback and never wanted to return to the music industry.
This is why Britney fans are so mad at Justin Timberlake
Since Britney’s autobiography “The Woman in Me” was published in October last year, Timberlake has been subjected to the hatred of the Britney ultras. In the book, she had revealed that Timberlake cheated on her during their three-year relationship. He is also said to have impregnated her and then persuaded her to have an abortion because he did not want to become a father yet.
The shitstorm got so big that Timberlake had to temporarily deactivate his Instagram account because of the many hate comments. Whereupon the Britney fans moved on to the account of his wife Jessica Biel (41).
