Justin Timberlake is laughing along with fans about one of the most recognizable habits from his early career: beatboxing. In a recent Instagram exchange, the singer responded to a viral video poking fun at how often he used vocal percussion during the *NSYNC years and the start of his solo career.
The moment followed a creator’s playful look back at several early-2000s performances and songs. Timberlake joined the conversation in the comments, joking that he still does not know how to properly apologize for those beatboxing ambitions. He also hinted that he may not be finished with the habit just yet.
Beatboxing was a noticeable part of Timberlake’s sound during that period, appearing in *NSYNC material including Pop.
