Justin Timberlake Admits Janet Jackson's 'Nipplegate' Was His Fault
But will she join him during his Super Bowl halftime show? That is the question...
Thursday, January 18, 2018 - 11:58
As the Super Bowl nears, questions about Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson are only getting louder.
When the 'Filthy' singer announced he would headline this year's halftime show, fans immediately questioned if Janet would appear due to the fact she has reportedly been banned from returning after her 2004 halftime show, where JT joined her.
The story goes that Justin accidentally ripped off part of Janet's costume, exposing her nipple in front of millions around the world, inventing the term 'wardrobe malfunction' and a 5-second delay for all future Super Bowl shows, although Justin has never spoken about what actually happened.

In a new interview with Zane Lowe for Beats 1, JT seemingly admits - for the first time ever - that the unplanned incident was his fault, saying "I had my wires crossed."
In other words, he misunderstood the plan and made a major mistake that cost Janet her place at the top of the pop world. However, while it's taken him 14 years to publicly comment on it, he says him and the pop icon have settled things.
Asked if they have made peace, Timberlake says "Absolutely. And I don’t know that a lot of people know that. I don’t think it’s my job to do that because you value the relationships that you do have with people.”
While there is no mention of Janet performing alongside him, Justin confirmed there won't be a repeat of the controversy this time: "What do you want me to say? We’re not going to do that again!"
14 years on from 'Nipplegate' it would be all kinds of iconic to see Janet Jackson back on that stage to receive the respect she deserves now and did back then.
Justin will perform at the Super Bowl on February 4th, just two days after his fifth album Man of the Woods is released.
Are you ready?

Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren't you something, an original, 'cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
And I can't help but stare 'cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes
Ooh I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the past, I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you looking back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life

Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
