In June, Timberlake, 41, performed at Pharrell Williams’s Something in the Water Music Festival in Washington, D.C. and went viral for his footwork. He later shared a video on Instagram jokingly apologizing for it.
On his Instagram Story, Timberlake shared a video and said, “D.C. I want to apologize to you for two reasons.” He then flipped the camera from his face to show his feet in multi-colored Nike sneakers and pointed, “Here and here!”
“I had a long talk with both of them individually and said, ‘Um don’t you ever do that to me again,'” he jokingly added.
“Maybe it was the khakis, khaki vibe. I’ll make this up to you. I’m going to focus on these two guys right here and get them right,” he said with a smile. “Love y’all.” He then shared hilarious TikTok videos of fans mimicking his dance moves from the show, and agreed that some fans broke down the dance better than he did.
