Justin Timberlake has finally apologized
for one of his more memorable early 2000s habits,
breaking into beatboxing on stage.
After an Instagram creator resurfaced clips
of Timberlake's old performances in early October,
he decided it was time to address it.
Hannah Young, aka, uh-huh, Hannah,
reminisced about this quirky moment in pop culture.
She declared,
we don't talk about Justin Timberlake beatboxing enough.
Nobody questioned it.
Nobody said, Justin, you know,
we have drums, she continued.
But no, Timberlake wanted to make space noises
with his mouth.
He commented, I still haven't come up with any answers.
I don't know how to apologize enough.
Too many boots, too many cats.
I hope you can forgive me, he added.
He teased, I can't promise I won't do it again.
God help us all.
One memorable moment happened at Madison Square Garden
in 2000 during his NSYNC days.
Timberlake beatboxed for three minutes,
experimenting with various styles.
He even beatboxed, you see,
they call me Lake Timber, Timber Timberlake.
Under a YouTube clip of this performance,
people shared their feelings.
He owes the world an apology for this, one viewer wrote.
Another said, only three and a half minutes,
yet it felt like an eternity.
The sentiment, Timberlake's beatboxing,
well, it's unforgettable.
