Britney Spears Claims Ex-Justin Timberlake Used ‘Blaccent’ When He Met R&B Singer Ginuwine

The pop star reportedly “got all excited and said so loud, ‘Oh yeah, fo shizz, fo shizz. Ginuwine! What’s up, homie?’”

Britney Spears’ new memoir, The Woman In Me, offers new insights into her past relationship with Justin Timberlake, including an incident where he used a “blaccent” while meeting with a famous 90s R&B sensation.

In a newly released excerpt, “Dawson’s Creek,” actress Michelle Williams reads a passage recalling the time JT met fellow entertainer Ginuwine.

“His band NSYNC was what people called back then ‘so pimp,'” Williams began. “They were white boys, but they loved Hip Hop. To me, that’s what separated them from the Backstreet Boys, who seemed very consciously to position themselves as a white group. NSYNC hung out with Black artists.

She continued: “Sometimes, I think they tried too hard to fit in. One day, J and I were in New York, going to parts of town I’d never been to before. Walking our way was a guy with a huge blinged-out medallion. He was flanked by two giant security guards. J got all excited and said so loud, ‘Oh yeah, fo shizz, fo shizz. Ginuwine! What’s up, homie?’”

“After Ginuwine walked away, Felicia [Britney’s former assistant] did an impression of J. ‘Oh yeah, fo shizz, fo shizz. Ginuwine!’ J wasn’t even embarrassed. He just took it and looked at her like, ‘Okay, f—k you, Felicia.'”

The jokes on social media came pouring in almost immediately, including one person who wrote on X, formerly Twitter, “I'mma be saying fo shiz fo shiz all day today.”

The pop princess’s new book also claims that she became pregnant with JT’s child during their time together, but the pair decides to terminate the pregnancy. Britney wrote, “It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy.” The singer described the abortion as “one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”
