Justin Timberlake Experiences NSFW 'Wardrobe Malfunction' During Recent Tour Stop
Singer Justin Timberlake now knows what it's like to suffer a "wardrobe malfunction," as seen during a recent concert stop in Nashville.
Oops! Singer Justin Timberlake may have given fans a look into what lies beneath his “Suit and Tie” at a recent concert.
In fan footage taken from the 43-year-old singer’s Nashville stop on his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour,” a harness prepped to take Timberlake airborne bunched a bit too tight around his nether regions – ultimately giving fans quite the eyeful.

In a TikTok posted on Dec. 13, Timberlake can be seen singing his hit “Mirrors” to the crowd from a moving platform at the Bridgestone Arena.
As he croons to thousands of onlookers, a metal harness, secured around Timberlake's waist and thighs, grips tightly around the fabric of his pants in a way that causes a visible bulge in the front.
Timberlake seems to pull his long-sleeved shirt over to obscure the view but ultimately fails – instead, continuing the song and moving around to shield the embarrassing sight.
Check out the NSFW moment above.
Social Media Users Question If They Saw Timberlake’s ‘Timber’
As the TikTok of Timberlake’s performance went viral, social media users wondered what they had indeed seen – although the answer seemed obvious to most.
“The way my jaw dropped," one TikTok user stated, as reported by E! News.
"Honey, NO ONE TOLD HIM during rehearsals? Oof."
Another user on the popular app was a bit more direct about the matter, claiming, "I think you saw Justin's Timber."
Some were less than kind, noting that Timberlake’s “little d energy” was finally “exposed” to the world.
“Prayers to Britney [Spears] for having to deal with that,” read criticism from a Twitter user.
Timberlake May Want To ‘Forget’ This Tour Ever Happened
The wardrobe mishap is only the latest setback in Timberlake’s “Forget Tomorrow World Tour,” which has been plagued by frequent cancellations due to illness and injury.
Last month, the “SexyBack” star was forced to cancel a planned December stop in Oklahoma.
“I’m so sorry, Oklahoma City, [but] I have to cancel the show on 12/2," Timberlake wrote on his Instagram Stories Nov. 30, explaining, "I hurt my back in NOLA and my doctors have instructed me to rest a little bit longer."
The Oklahoma City cancellation followed six shows at the tail end of October and the start of November being postponed. Timberlake claimed that he was battling bronchitis and laryngitis and that the shows would be rescheduled.
In June of this year, Timberlake was arrested in the Hamptons for driving while intoxicated. According to reports, the singer relayed to the arresting officer that his actions could, ironically, “ruin the tour.”
Timberlake ultimately pleaded to driving while ability impaired, a noncriminal traffic violation, and was made to pay a fine and serve community service.
‘What Goes Around Comes Around,’ Some Of Timberlake’s Critics Claim
While Justin Timberlake’s loyal fanbase continues to crowd the singer with their support, some feel his recent wardrobe malfunction may have karmic connections.
In what has since become pop culture history, singer Janet Jackson infamously suffered a “wardrobe malfunction” of her own at the hands of Timberlake during the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show in 2004.
While performing a medley of hits, Timberlake joined Jackson for a rendition of his single, “Rock Your Body,” which ended with Jackson’s breast exposed and her decades-long career left in ruins.
Timberlake, meanwhile, went on the offense almost immediately following the halftime show, relaying the embarrassing moment as a “stunt” he had no interest in participating in.
He would later clarify himself, but most of the world believed Timberlake had thrown Jackson under the bus to save his burgeoning career (Jackson was said to have been blacklisted from radio for years following the incident).
In 2021, Timberlake owned up to his actions in an open apology to Jackson and his former girlfriend, Britney Spears, on Instagram following documentaries centered on the two women’s careers.
“As a man in a privileged position, I have to be vocal about this,” Timberlake wrote, per NBC News, adding, “I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women, and I know I have failed [them].”
Jackson would note in her 2022 Lifetime docuseries that Timberlake made amends privately before his public apology. Timberlake has since deleted the apology from his Instagram.
Timberlake’s Tour Will Live On To ‘Tomorrow’ And Beyond
Right now, Timberlake is set to take his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” to St. Louis on Dec. 19.
He is scheduled to continue with the excursion until July 2025.
