Justin Timberlake stirred ruthless mockery when his harness outfit drew eyes to what some described as an underwhelming “bulge.” A TikTok video of the singer went viral on  Saturday (December 14). In the clip, which has amassed nearly 7 million views, Justin was performing his 2013 hit Mirrors.

In the video, which was recorded during a concert in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, the Prince of Pop could be seen tugging his shirt to seemingly cover up his groin detail, coincidentally while belting out the lyric “hard to find” as the camera zoomed in. 

Highlights
  • Justin Timberlake's harness outfit mocked for underwhelming bulge.
  • Viral TikTok clip of Timberlake has nearly 7 million views.
  • Timberlake's attempted cover-up coincided with song lyrics.

The clip sparked a wave of cheeky comments, as a TikTok user commented: “Bringing micro back.”

A person wrote: “He doesn’t have a single song that requires this.”

    The artist reportedly canceled his December 2 show in New Orleans due to an ongoing back injury.

    This comes after Justin was arrested in Sag Harbor, New York, in June 2024 for driving while intoxicated after running a stop sign and swerving out of his lane. 

    During the arrest, the Friends with Benefits actor reportedly muttered: “This is going to ruin the tour,” to which the officer replied, “What tour?”
