Ginuwine, the R&B singer, has finally addressed the viral claim made by Britney Spears in her bombshell memoir. Spears alleged that her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake used a “blaccent” when they first met. However, Ginuwine denies this incident, stating that he does not remember it happening. He further mentioned that if Timberlake had indeed acted in such a manner, it would have stood out in his memory.
After the release of Britney Spears’ memoir, “The Woman In Me,” there was a widespread online discussion about Timberlake’s behavior around black artists. In the book, Spears describes *NSYNC, Timberlake’s band at the time, as “white boys” who “loved hip-hop” and socialized with black artists. She felt that this behavior separated them from other boy bands, such as the Backstreet Boys.
One incident mentioned by Spears was when she and Timberlake were walking in New York City, and they encountered a man wearing a blinged-out medallion, who Spears identified as R&B artist Ginuwine. Timberlake allegedly greeted him using a “blaccent” and expressed excitement. Spears’ assistant, Felicia, imitated Timberlake’s behavior, and he showed no embarrassment.
Ginuwine has now spoken out about this claim and firmly denies its veracity. He mentioned that he heard about the viral discussion surrounding the incident but does not recall it happening. If Timberlake had used a “blaccent,” Ginuwine asserts that he would have questioned him about it. He believes it would have been a memorable moment, but he insists that it never occurred.
Apart from the incident involving Timberlake’s alleged use of a “blaccent,” Britney Spears’ memoir also contains other damning allegations about her relationship with Timberlake. She accuses him of infidelity and pressuring her to have an abortion while they were dating from 1999 to 2002. So far, Timberlake has not publicly responded to these claims, but reports suggest that he is unhappy about the memoir.
Ginuwine’s denial of Britney Spears’ claim adds another layer to the ongoing discussion surrounding Timberlake’s behavior around black artists. While Spears insists that Timberlake used a “blaccent” during their encounter with Ginuwine, the R&B singer himself refutes this. The controversy surrounding Timberlake’s alleged actions continues to generate interest and raises questions about the appropriate boundaries when engaging with different cultures.
