Fans of Pop superstars Janet Jackson and Beyonce have swarmed Twitter to protest against the possibility of a Justin Timberlake ‘Super Bowl Halftime Show.’
Why they’re against the idea? Racism and sexism.
Following Timberlake‘s infamous “exposing” of Janet’s breast during their collaborative Halftime show set in 2004 the singer walked away from the scandal which followed as Jackson saw her career killed by the very industry said career had supported.
This is why fans of Janet and a number of her peers feel it’s outrageous that the ‘NFL’ is even considering them.

se o Justin Timberlake realmente estiver negociando com o super bowl eu acho meio injusto. Não pelo Justin, mas sim pela Janet

today I learned the Black Community would never forgive Justin Timberlake for purposefully causing the downfall of Janet Jackson?

Don't let Trump distract you from remembering Justin Timberlake exposed Janet's right booby in 2004

Rumor is that Justin Timberlake will perform at the Superbowl halftime show. Where's the @NFL apology to Janet Jackson? Why him and not her?

Justin Timberlake tore Janet Jackson's top off in the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show, but the NFL blacklisted her from performing again. https://t.co/AG07FzSXGg

They shouldn't let Justin Timberlake perform at the Super Bowl if they won't let Janet perform.

Okay if Justin Timberlake suddenly isn't blacklisted to perform at Superbowl, I call bullshit. Janet Jackson still is, so he should be too.
— Rose (@ForeverRebel) August 25, 2017
janet jackson's banned from the superbowl ht show for life bc of justin timberlake's action, but justin might headline the next ht show.

Janet Jackson should come back and rip a piece off of Justin Timberlake shirt exposing his nipple this time! @Kdubblive @marcelluswiley

Isn’t a fan of either so, I have no OPINION…
Why did you leave a comment?
Nailed it haha
*sizzle*
@Danielyou literally comment on every single Janet post so you are lying to yourself. Your pressed
I’m even more suprised that there’s talks about JT perform at the superbowl halftime.
Justin Timberlake´s impact in music is non existant. He´s at a stage now that I don´t think he can create anything monumental or groundbreaking. And he has let all his best and more viable years go by with just a couple of albums in 10 years. Yes his second album was good. That´s all we can say. He didn´t bring anything new to the table. Don´t get me wrong, many others have done way less. But compared to Janet and other people for example… no contest. And still, he probably is better than most in mainstream nowadays. Keeps showing how music keeps declining.
This, this and THIS! lol, yaaaaaas
This is so accurate and right on!
I been boycotting Justin Timberlake since the Janet Jackson Super Bowl stunt with his ugly a*** and b|itch voice.
I tend to think this is a”feeler” to get a buzz for a possible idea or JT’s return to the music scene. We will see. If it is true, sexism wins. Not surprised that Jay-Z’s camp wouldnt know better (ALL about money). Hopefully all those expressing internet outrage will support Janet…#SOTWTour. That’s my plan.
Justina Timberfake’s music can’t even come CLOSE to Janet’s music…when he did that medley at the VMA’s, it showed how basic and flat his music truly is…ONE song from Janet satisfies me more than a whole album from Justina! He sounded better with NSYNC! JC Chasez can sing CIRCLES around Justina Boomqweesha Timberfake! lol
This!!!!! I get so tired of hearing how JT got soul. Child please!!! The only soul JT got was produced by Pharrell and Timberland. JC Chasez has got natural soul. He doesn’t have to try, it just pours out of him. It still angers me how JC’s performance at the Pro Bowl was cancelled because of Justin’s Nipplegate at the Superbowl. Did you notice how JC’s mic during the Nsync reunion at the 2013 VMAs was turned down really low? Justin knows that if the mainstream really heard JC, they’d recognize JT for the poser he is. Plus how he left Janet to take the fallout from the Supberbowl show still gets me.
The meltdowns if he gets his own halftime show at the Super Bowl ?
And of course you being the waste of oxygen you are it’s funny to you. Just die already
Yet, you think you’re a better person than me, but I’m not the one wishing death to an unknown person.
I wish they would give Usher a halftime spot
Sorry honey… He has a doctor’s visit that day.
Me to he’s better than jt anyway.
F*** Justin!
We love you janet! So unfair he gets to perform!
Luckily for Janet she was already a legend by the time Super Bowl happened which is why she’s still JANET, still slays the stage like NO OTHER, she Can still have number one albums, she can still tour and she’s still the 7th biggest artist in history on the billboard singles charts and has a plethora of classic songs, dance routines and albums. What does Justin have? None of that. So..
Close your eyes and imagine SB 38 exactly the same except USHER SNATCHES MADONNA’S TOP OFF (instead of her breakaway costume panel). Madonna immediately grabs her titty in embarrassment and exits the stage literally sobbing. Now reimagine the fallout after.
I’m glad to see (almost 15 years too late) the community rallying around Janet re: this incident. Especially glad to see the Beyhive speak up. There was a time when Janet was everything to the world that Beyonce is now – seemed as if nothing could stop her. That’s how she got the gig in the first place! The captains of industry have done everything in their power to bury Janet’s legacy. If they did it to Jan they would do it to Beyonce as soon as she does something they don’t like. I hope the activist folk turn the Superbowl OUT behind this BS! #getemyall
Madonna immediately grabs her titty in embarrassment and exits the stage literally sobbing.
You don’t know Madonna at all then, she would have finished taking off her clothes herself without embarrassment ? That’s the difference between her and Janet.
Halftime is gonna be home in Minneapolis. This is where Janet came out as a bonafide Artist. City of Minneapolis and Stadium should protest . Janet should be peperforming. She would be representing Twin Cities Musically along with The Time. Prince would have been my choice if he had lived also.
Plot Twist. Janet would have been JT’s surprise guest & yall ruined it.
SHE SHOLDNT BE THAT F*** SURPRISED GUEST….SHE SHOULD HEADLINE THE ENTIRE SUPER BOWL….F*** JUSTINA.
I’ve never forgiven JT, all that Michael Jackson and Black music has done for him!! Justin Timberlake, he Never Spoke Up for Janet.. let her carry the burden all those years for a planned catastrophe! He knew all along! If Jay-Z goes along with this show..then boo him too!
What the whaaat! !!????
It’s racism all the way, I don’t care how they put it. He Justin shouldn’t get a pass, but it’s always been this way an it still is today RACISM!!!!!
I never liked Justin Timberlake in the first place but when he did that to my Queen Janet that made me hate him even more I no I’m not suppose to hate God forgive me and Jay you better not perform with him and if the Superbowl sign him BOYCOTT
I WILL MAKE SURE THE WORLD WOULD KNOW HOW UGLY JAY-Z IS N REAL LIFE INSIDE N OUT, HOW RACISTS THIS TELEVISION NETWORK IS TO BLACKS IF TIMBERLAKE SHOWS HIS FACE!!!! TIMBERLAKE PARENTS SHOULD BE ASHAMED, DIE B##CH
Performing at the Superbowl won’t be as bad as him singing on that distasteful MJ single like he and the family are tight. Jay-Z would be wrong wrong wrong to join Justin on stage. Support Janet!!
But Jay-Z will perform with him just like he rap on some of his song. He care less by support Janet.
If Jay-Z performs l am destroying all his music that l own and l have every and bun. At what point is the community going to stand up for our Sister! After all she has done for us and humanity. l am so heated!!
When things like this happend , your true self comes out behold his true self.
I don’t think it right for him to perform and that Janet can’t no more then didn’t think it was for M.T. V to stop playing her video but they still play his but it would have been alot different if she was Pink or another white singer.
NO ONE was to see a lame MJ impersonator – Justin Timberlake. There’s only 2 SUPERSTARS worthy of performing every year at Superbowl and that’s Beyonce and Janet. Best female entertainers in history.
I am probably going to be hated on for what I have to say. First of all no it is definitely not right to allow Justin Timberlake to perform if Janet was banned for what they both had a part in not right at all. But this was a publicity stunt by them both not carefully planned out cause if you watch it again you will see that. This if was a publicity stunt to get a spike in album sales for Janet that’s all. I love Janet’s music always have but the truth is the truth. The whole thing was not planned and it went terribly wrong Janet nor justin was thinking when they did this I also think Janet’s boyfriendat the time had something to do with it but who knows it. Don’t get mad at Justin get mad at the people who r asking Justin to perform.
Publicity stunt or not, only Janet took the fallout from it when they both participated in it. He left Janet in the wind and went on with his career like nothing had happened.
I know that’s right! If they do not reach out to Janet then l am totally done with the f***ING NFL…
F*** JUSTINA TIMBERFAKE….THAT F***** ASS B****.
I will never forgive Jay Z if he performs at that show w/ that culture vulture, backstabbing piece of sh*t! I will officially be done w/ Jay Z!!! And, fcuk Timberb*tch & the NFL!!!
This is some real mf’ING b*******!! How the hell is he allowed to perform and our sister Janet is still banned. Gawd what an asshole! And to the idiots who think this is no big deal reverse the roles. He needs to apologise l will never support anything he does until then. Timbersnake!
