‘I don’t have any apps on my phone right now, like social media-wise, so I didn’t know what the hell anybody was talking about. And my friend called me, she’s like, ‘Were you arguing with Justin Timberlake?’ I said, ‘Why would you ask me that? Like, in what world would they say [I’d] be arguing with Justin Timberlake? What are you talking about?’ the Texas native revealed.

She added: ‘Then when somebody showed me the video I was like, ‘Oh, my God! I talk with my hands! I’m not tussling with no d**n Justin Timberlake.’ 

Megan also noted to the outlet that she and Timberlake bonded over both being Aquariuses. 

Additionally, she told him: ‘I was just telling him, like, ‘No, no, no. I can’t hear you. I have my in-ears in. This meeting right here does not count. I’m going to meet you after this.’ 

Megan also stated that she was keeping her ‘fingers crossed’ for a collaboration with the Mirrors singer.

Megan cleared it all up herself in a comment after the event on TikTok saying – ‘I just talk with my hands. See ya next time, Justin Timberlake.’

In a behind-the-scenes video of the exchange, the performer looked visibly worked up as she pointed her finger toward Timberlake, who was with his NSYNC bandmates.

As the members of the boy band passed by, Justin took a moment to say something to the rap star, who was to his left. 

Megan had a visceral reaction, pointing Justin’s way while simultaneously saying something emphatically. 

On Tuesday, the performer (born Megan Jovon Ruth Pete) urged her 31.3 million Instagram followers get their ‘hands on’ her limited-edition Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and Doritos.

‘Hotties RISE,’ she captioned a slideshow of images of herself with red hair. ‘The doors to #FlaminHotUniversity (or FU for short) are officially open & we’re staying snacked UPPP.’ 

In one image, she could be seen sticking her tongue out while rocking a black miniskirt and furry orange jacket. 

Another showed her holding up two bags of snacks as she looked over her shoulder.
