Behind the scenes at Tuesday night’s Video Music Awards was a hive of activity as drama unfolded caught on MTV’s live feed. Among the thrilling moments was a backstage exchange between award-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion and celebrated pop icon Justin Timberlake. The two superstars appeared to have a heated conversation following Megan’s performance with Cardi B.

This incident happened amidst the commotion backstage as Megan was getting ready and NSYNC members walked by. A grinning Timberlake leaned in to exchange a few words with the rapper. She responded emphatically, pointing at him while seemingly upset before turning away.

NSYNC member Joey Fatone added a few words to the conversation as well. The exchange seemed to hint at an argument, but an observer nearby refutes this claim.

The backstage observer confirmed that there was not a fight or argument. Timberlake had merely greeted Megan, expressing his delight at meeting her. Megan, however, responded that their quick backstage encounter did not constitute a proper meeting.

While NSYNC and Timberlake have yet to issue any official comments, they’ve been dropping hints of a reunion for several weeks. This speculation was further fueled during the VMAs by pop sensation Taylor Swift, who posed questions about an NSYNC reunion during her acceptance speech for the Best Pop Video award.

These rumors of an NSYNC reunion are not baseless. Multiple online reports suggest that the band could potentially be working on a new song written by Timberlake. The song is slated to feature in the upcoming third installment of DreamWorks’ animated series “Trolls Band Together.” The plot of the film reportedly revolves around a boy band reunion, hinting at the possible participation of all NSYNC members, including JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick.
