Spears posted the apology along with a clip of Justin Timberlake singing on Saturday Night Live, and added: “I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish’. It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard?”
She has since deleted the apology and accompanying posts after Timberlake appeared to respond during his concert in New York on Wednesday.

In a video recorded during his performance at the Irving Plaza, Timberlake could be heard telling the crowd: “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologise to absolutely f****** nobody.”
