VMAs 2023: Megan Thee Stallion & Justin Timberlake’s Backstage Confrontation

Megan Thee Stallion
  • Megan Thee Stallion and Justin had a feud at the 2023 VMAs Awards.
  • A clip showed Timberlake approaching her while she was getting her hair done.
  • Sources revealed that she was excited to meet Timberlake in more relaxed setting.

Megan Thee Stallion and Justin Timberlake were involved in what seemed like an intense exchange backstage at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday night.

In a clip that has now gone viral, the rapper, aged 28, appeared to be having her hair attended to when the reunited ‘NSYNC band walked by. The 42-year-old SexyBack singer quickly turned to the Savage rapper and engaged in an animated conversation. In response, Megan Thee Stallion appeared to raise her voice and pointed her finger at The Mirrors singer, who then turned and walked away. Joey Fatone was seen laughing during the interaction.

Although the context of the encounter remained unclear, many fans assumed that some sort of argument had occurred between the two musicians. However, that was not the case.

Sources informed that the Sweetie Pie singer was excited to meet the Friend With Benefits actor and wished to have a more relaxed introduction.

“He said, ‘It’s so nice to meet you,’ and she said, ‘No, no, this doesn’t count, this doesn’t count. We gotta meet properly,’” an insider told the outlet.

“Meg loves Justin,” a source close to the situation disclosed to Page Six. “She was saying, ‘No, no, no, we’ve never met before.’ It was their first encounter, and she was excited.”

The two musicians crossed paths either before or after Megan’s stage performance of a scintillating rendition of “Bongos” with Cardi B.

VMAs 2023: Selena Gomez Left ‘Traumatised’ By Olivia Rodrigo’s Onstage Mishap

Selena Gomez
  • Selena Gomez expressed her lack of enthusiasm for Olivia Rodrigo’s performance.
  • During Rodrigo’s performance, there was an apparent stage malfunction.
  • Some observers speculated that Gomez’s reaction was due to boredom.

Selena Gomez appeared less than impressed with Olivia Rodrigo’s performance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday.

The singer of “Déjà vu,” who is 20 years old, kicked off the evening with a medley of songs from her latest album, Guts. During the performance, when she began singing “Vampire,” it appeared as though the set was malfunctioning mid-show. A bewildered Rodrigo looked on as a red curtain fell, creating sparks. Promptly, a crew member from backstage stepped forward to safely guide Rodrigo away.

In the midst of the chaos, the camera shifted to Selena Gomez, who seemed rather horrified and visibly cringed at the situation.

In videos circulating online of this moment, the 31-year-old singer of “Single Soon” raised her hand to her temples, her eyes widening. Meanwhile, Rodrigo left the stage and the lights dimmed.

However, it turns out the collapsing stage was a planned part of the performance, as Rodrigo later returned to complete the rest of her act.

Meanwhile, Gomez’s reaction became the subject of online discussion, with fans suggesting that the founder of Rare Beauty appeared to be “literally bored out of her mind.”

Many people assumed that the “Calm Down” singer was throwing shade at Rodrigo due to rumored feuds with her close friend, Taylor Swift.

“Selena being weird towards Nicki [Minaj] and Olivia… but she’s supposedly the ‘nice innocent girl’ that’s an EVIL mean girl,” one person commented.

However, others responded that she simply seemed concerned.

One user tweeted that the singer appeared “traumatized” by the staged stage malfunction.
