Justin Timberlake reacted to a viral Instagram video that highlighted his early‑2000s beatboxing, posting a joking apology on Monday.
Instagram creator Hannah Young noted that fans rarely discuss Timberlake’s beatboxing, recalling moments when he “made drum noises with his mouth” during songs. Timberlake replied, “I often look back on that time as well… I don’t know how to apologize enough for whatever those ambitions were. Too many boots. Too many cats. I hope you can forgive me. Also, I can’t promise I won’t do it again. God help us all.”
The clip referenced Timberlake’s well‑known beatboxing on NSYNC’s 2000 No String Attached tour and on the 2001 hit “Pop.” He previously described those interludes as “slightly regrettable” on a 2023 Hot Ones appearance, while bandmate Lance Bass called them “iconic.”
