Timbaland has apologized for his misogynistic “muzzle” dig at Britney Spears after fans lit his ass up online.
Via TikTok on Nov. 7, Timbaland issued a mea culpa to fans who wore him out online over the vicious rhetoric.
“Come on, man. I’m keepin’ it 1000 with y’all. But I’m sorry to all the Britney fans, even to her… if she never saw the…the…the muzzle was– No, you have a voice. You speak what you wanna speak. Who am I to tell you what not to speak? And I was wrong.”
The producer added, noting that he was trying to come to an understanding where all parties would feel heard, “I was looking at a different lens in what I reconciled. I’m not a person who takes sides as I tried to combine in this– let’s make a compromise.”

The 51-year-old veteran producer made the shady comment Oct. 29 while he spoke at the Kennedy Center on Sounds Architect: A Producer Conversation. A member of the audience mentioned Justin Timberlake’s unit single “Cry Me A River” with respect to the “Toxic” singer’s new book. Timbaland dismissed Britney’s thoughts and feelings on frequent collaborator Justin Timberlake, whom she talked about in her freshly-dropped memoir, “The Woman In Me.”
“She going crazy, right,” he asked, cutting off the audience member before proceeding to show his misogynistic ass. “I wanted to call and say, ‘JT, you gotta put a muzzle on that girl.”
The crowd at the Kennedy Center laughed heartily at the distasteful comment.
Timbaland says Justin Timberlake should have put a “muzzle” on Britney Spears, following the release of her memoir:
“I wanted to call JT and say 'Man! You should have put a muzzle on that girl.'”

Fans on X, rightfully, ate him tf up.
If you see Timbaland talking shit about Britney Spears it’s because she refused to work with him in 2006 after he begged her to work with him.
She chose Danja instead and was executive producer of her own album, making history with “Blackout”. pic.twitter.com/P7ROhOClr0— Bruno (@brunolovesbrit) November 7, 2023
So Timbaland basically condones JT's treatment of Britney Spears? I promise y'all… these industry kneegrows are toxic and shitty. I mean, his big grown ass was lusting over Aaliyah, so there's that. pic.twitter.com/kgS2MHOldx

Britney Spears couldn’t unfollow Timbaland on Instagram after his incredibly cruel and sexist comments about her, because she never followed him to begin with. pic.twitter.com/aJ0VncucYg

Honestly someone that performs this bad should never have Britney Spears name in their fucking mouths. Like with what nerve do you even speak on Britney with those lack of skills Timbaland? Embarrassing is an understatement. pic.twitter.com/YHppHuBMIw

Man questions whether Britney Spears is going ‘crazy’ and tells Justin Timberlake to ‘put a muzzle on that girl’ (presumably like an owner would muzzle a dog). This is why women should speak out after years of silence & abuse — your voice is powerful.https://t.co/28aXFTacrK

Timbaland isn’t the only celebrity who has gotten smoke over Britney. Sherri Shepherd had her ass handed to her after calling the “Slave 4 U” singer “crazy.”
Listen, fans ain’t playing about the 41-year-old child star.
