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!

61. # 60, WOW! I was waiting to see how long it would take to blame something about this on Britney! I love how it's HER fault that people refer to him as JT. Maybe it's just because they are his initials. And it's alot easier than typing out his whole name. Just a thought. By the way, if the song is old, it's probably not about prince. But no matter who it's about, who the hell cares? It's a song. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. There are probably worse things going on in the world than a MAYBE dis from Justin Timberlake!

62. JT can't sing, thinking that he is an African American! I will never buy his CDs.
He has nothing over Prince, just a little punk trying to be black. If, it wasn't for
Timberland his music would not sound like it does today, even though it
doesn't sound that great!

65. "Now if sexy never left, then why is everybody on my s**t?"..... everybody= millions of little girls and boys that are using his music to get to the little girls.

How is it sexy to sound like someone has his balls in a firm grip.... or it could be his post Cry me a River voice.. finding out that Britney was hooking up with other/real men.

68. JT talks about Janet Jackson in the beginning of his verse. Janet was on Oprah and says "Let me clear the air". JT also mentions "It's hard to hear you from way down there".
JT and Janet's albums came out around the same time and Janet's album didn't do as well as JT's did.
Let JT run his mouth.
Janet + Jermaine Dupri + So So Def + Every rapper that's ever worked with JD = Justin's ass whooped.

69. I always thought he was talking about Janet Jackson not Prince.

70. Justin, take notes from Britney on what happens when get ahead of yourself, step into shoes you are not mature enough to fill, which has nothing to do with how short or tall you are.

Prince has class and he is sexy. Real sex appeal emanates from the inside out. And as Prince said "sexy never left." It takes maturity to understand what he was saying without getting insulted. You are still a growing Boy!! In the mean time ... watch it!!

71. If the song is abour Janet Jackson, why would this punk want to diss her. It's bad enough he left her hanging after the Superbowl mishap, and yet he continues to ride on the coat tales of successful R&B producers to up his street cred! He is a no-talent, copy cat punk!

72. Justin's head is just getting to big for his shoulders. He should not be dissing Prince like he did. Prince in an Icon, a trend setter and Justin will never become what Prince was. Mind you Justin has a great amount of success, but he has brought nothing truly new to the table.

Prince is like God in the music industry and you should not disrespect the God.

Justin wouldn't dare talk smack to Usher like that, he needs to pick on somebody his own size.

Karma is something else, this is all going to fall back on him.

74. Prince will be known for his fabulous body of work. Justin will be known for "Dick in a box".

Quite telling isn't it?
