Timbaland has apologized for saying his frequent collaborator Justin Timberlake should “muzzle” ex-girlfriend Britney Spears for revealing details of their relationship in her memoir. “There’s no explanation, nothing,” he said on TikTok live. “‘Put a muzzle,’ yo, what the freak was I thinking about? I should have never said it … To all the Britney fans, you’re right and I’m wrong. I can look outside myself and say that wasn’t a joke and that wasn’t a nice thing to say. I apologize to the Britney fans and her.” Timbaland made the comments last month during a panel discussion when he was asked about one of his songs with Timberlake, “Cry Me A River,” being in the news again following Spears’ memoir. “She’s going crazy, right?” he said. “I wanted to call JT and say, ‘Man! You should have put a muzzle on that girl.’”
