Looks like a feud actually IS starting to bubble between Justin Timberlake and Prince.
Our clever colleague, CJ, who writes for the Star Tribune in Minneapolis, says SOME people think Justin’s new CD apes Prince’s style. At an Emmys party Prince announced “For whoever is claiming that they are bringing sexy back, sexy never left!” And who can forget Justin at the Golden Globes, squatting in front of the microphone to imitate his tiny rival. Looks like Justin really RESENTS those comparisons between his CD and Prince’s music. He and Nelly Furtado came out with the diss song “Give it to Me” in which he mocks Prince’s mumbling, and jokes “We missed you on the charts last week.” (Justin’s CD is outselling Prince’s 3121 by a MILE. ) The ball is in Prince’s court.
and then he gon try and write a Prince tribute

Justin Timberlake Writes Heartfelt Tribute to Prince: 'He's Somewhere Within Every Song I've Ever Written'
"More than a 'once in a lifetime' artist... Just a ONCE IN FOREVER ARTIST," Timberlake writes. "I'm still in shock as I write this and I feel this overwhelming grief. But, we should all turn away from that and HONOR this musician that changed all of our lives, our perspectives, our feeling, our whole being."
The singer then reminisces about the time he spent with the "When Doves Cry" singer, saying he was definitely not disappointed despite Prince's legendary status.
"They say don't meet your idols... That they let you down. But, some of my greatest, funniest (yes, he was hilarious), and most prolific encounters and conversations about music came from the moments that I spent with him," he shares. "It would be silly to say that he has inspired our music... It's beyond that. He's somewhere within every song I've ever written."
"I am sad, but I will smile when I think of every second that I had the fortune of being in his company," he continues. "We have lost our greatest living musician. But his music will never die. Prince, NOTHING COMPARES..."
This shyt is unforgivable
