JT just gave Kanye West some ammunition.
Last night, Justin Timberlake returned for his fifth appearance as host of “Saturday Night Live,” and performed quite a few skits as well as a few new tracks, but it was his final performance that had everyone buzzing. A few minutes, into “Suit & Tie, backed by the Tennessee Kids band, Justin replaced the line, “sh-t so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit” to “My hits so sick, got rappers acting dramatic.”
Clearly, that was a jab back at Kanye’s recent revelation, “I ain’t f-cking with th...; Tie sh-t” in London.
Yeezy will probably be more mad that Jay-Z joined Justin on stage after the subliminal, than the actual line.
Peep the performance below:
Sidebar: Justin is the king of classy shade. Back in 2007, it was rumored he was taking some shots at Janet Jackson (post-Superbowl), Prince,( ) and critics of Sexyback, when he dropped this verse in “Give It To Me”:
Could you speak up and stop the mumbling I don’t think you’re getting clear
Sitting on the top it’s hard to hear you from way up here
I saw you tryin to act cute on TV, Just let me clear the air
We missed you on the charts last week Damn that’s right, you wasn’t there
If sexy never left, then why’s everybody on my sh-t?
Don’t hate on me just because you didn’t come up with it
So if you see us in the club go on and walk the other way
Cuz our run will never be over; not at least until we say
