Timberlake Face-Face With Kanye West

In a recent interview with Shade 45, pop singer Justin Timberlake spoke about his perceived feud with fellow music superstar Kanye West. Timberlake revealed that he and West came face-to-face at the VMAs, and he made it clear that there was admiration for West’s work. “I told [Kanye West], ‘I f**k with you in a way you probably don’t even understand,’” Timberlake said. “We’ve never worked together so I don’t know that he fully understands what it is that I can do. That’s fine. As a matter of fact, Jay said the same thing. That’s okay. What I do agree with, is I would have loved to have had him as a part of the [recording] process…I hope something spawns out of that [conversation].” “[Kanye] said the exact perfect thing, which was, ‘Well, the best way I know how to do that is just for us to sit down and just play music,’” Timberlake said. “And I said, ‘Exactly…’ I love ‘Ye so I feel like I understand what he’s doing. I love Yeezus, I love that album. I think he’s ahead of a lot, especially in his genre. He’s ahead of a lot, all the time. You have to at least listen and give him the benefit of the doubt because he’s earned that and I get it. I think people are going to appreciate it a lot more in the future.”
