(WATCH) Justin Timberlake talks about Britney

In producer Timbaland’s new E! True Hollywood Story, Timberlake talks about why he recorded Cry Me A River. Though he never explicitly says Britney’s name, we can read between the lines. Justin said: “I was on a phone call that was not the most enjoyable phone call. I walked into the studio and he (Timbaland) could tell I was visibly angry.”

Timbaland says “He went to a concert and saw Britney, and Britney talked about him in the show and he was pissed. I was like, ‘Man, don’t worry about it’ and he was like, ‘I can’t believe she did that to me’ and he was like, ‘You were my sun, you were my earth…’”
