Celebrity Feuds
JT Making Cracks at Prince Again?

In his newest music video, "Give It to Me," Justin Timberlake appears to be taking another swipe at one of his biggest musical influences, Prince.

The track features JT, Nelly Furtado and Timbaland each doing a verse that takes a shot at someone. No word on who Furtado is singing about, and rumors have Timbaland taking aim at fellow producer Scott Storch. But Timberlake is more than likely slamming the Purple One when he says, "Now if sexy never left, then why is everybody on my s**t?"

Prince did a post-Emmy party last year where he joked, "For whoever is claiming that they are bringing sexy back, sexy never left!"

The new song wouldn't be the first crack Justin has made at Prince's expense. At the Golden Globes earlier this year, JT squatted in front of the microphone to make fun of Prince's small stature, when accepting an award on Prince's behalf. Hey JT, pick on someone your own size!

16. Prince has much more talent in his petite frame than Justin will EVER have. Justin is famous, no doubt, but he is not that attractive and I only like 1or 2 of his songs. Justin needs something shoved up his a$$

19. When you try to promote things at the expense of others it always backfires. He is making himself look very jealous and insecure. Glad Cameron dumped his whiny ass!

22. Justin better check himself before he wrecks himself. His ego is disgusting. Prince is a mega-talent. His longevity is proof. Hmmm, what is Justin Timberlake going to be doing in 20 years? I doubt he will be a featured performer at events like the super bowl and selling out concert venues in 15 minutes as Prince still does.

And not trying to pile on, but Justin is not aging well. His looks are already changing and fading and he isn't even thirty years old yet.

23. I think it's funny as hell that timberloser can't let the sexy back comment go. It means Prince really called him out on what a hack he is and timberloser knows it and keeps taking pot shots to make himself feel better. Way to go Prince!

24. Justin! You are a great singer, but you will NEVER compare to Prince.

Prince came out about 36 years ago, and has made hit-after hit. He has been performing longer then your age. You nned to respect him not only as an elder, but someone to be admired.

I want to see you thirty years from now. You are really not that good looking. You havae soemthing about you, but dont ruin it with a cocky attitude.

25. I know that Justine's CD did well, However, not well enough to try to go up against Prince. I think JT, should stick to arenas that he is qualified to be in. I think he need not go there with Prince. Justine, your people, are boosting your head up a little too high now. They have you thinking that, in your 20's, you are the hottest thing in Pop right now, but Prince, has been doing this for 20+ years. CHECKMATE.

26. Hell, JT looks like he is still in The Mickey Mouse Club. And he is talking "smack" about Prince? He has lost his little mind.

27. JT needs to grow the hell up and take his face out his ass. Prince is a legend. JT is a nothing in comparison. I'd rather listen to System of a Down, but Prince has my vote!

28. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who hates Justin Timberlake!! What is it with this guy?!? He is so NOT cute in any way!!! Maybe when he first started with NSync; he was a little cute, (that's just because he was young)!! Prince is a genius!!! I've loved him since "Purple Rain"!!!!!!!!

30. Justin, you dummy...You don't believe in Karma do you??? It will all come back..Don't you see your fellow celeb losers biting the dust left and right??? Watch your mouth, b***h..You stole your sound from r&b in the first place, so you need to give credit to where it's due...If it weren't for Prince and the other pioneers, you would be looking at old ass Mickey Mouse Club repeats wishing for better days...
