Justin Timberlake goes viral for concert wardrobe malfunction

Twenty years after Justin Timberlake accidentally exposed Janet Jackson’s breast during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show in an infamous wardrobe malfunction. sparked controversyhas the singer now faced his own horrendous wardrobe malfunction.

While performing at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, on Thursday, Timberlake, 43, went viral for suffering a wardrobe malfunction after a tight-fitting harness put his crotch on full display.

In one TikTok video captured by a fan in the audience, a fully clothed Timberlake is seen wearing a snug harness that accidentally accentuates his bump while performing his 2013 tune “Mirrors.”

At one point in the clip, the “Reptile” star tries to adjust himself in the harness while trying to cover his groin with his shirt to no avail.

Although Timberlake probably wishes he could say “Bye Bye Bye” to the embarrassing moment, TikTok users had a field day sharing their thoughts in the comments section of the clip, which has already amassed 7 million views.

“The way my jaw dropped. Honey NOBODY TOLD HIM during rehearsals? Ouch,” wrote one person.

Another commented: “He keeps trying to cover it with his shirt (laughing emojis).”

“I think you saw Justin’s Timber,” added another.

Timberlake, who is currently on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, has yet to address the incident. HuffPost has reached out to Timberlake’s representatives for comment.

Other TikTok users made comparisons to fellow singer Chris Brown, who similarly had all eyes on his step over the summer after he got stuck in the air in the middle of the concert on stage during a stop at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, midway through the 11:11 tour.
