This Thursday (1), Britney Spears responded to an apparent shade from her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake.

In her Instagram account, Britney shared a stock image of a basketball hoop, and wrote “Someone told me someone was talking s–t about me on the streets !!!” in the caption. “Do you want to bring it to the court or will you go home crying to your mom like you did last time ??? I’m not sorry !!!”, she added.

The response comes after Timberlake seemingly took a shot at his former flame during a concert in New York City on Wednesday (31). “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely f–king nobody”, says the singer, before singing “Cry Me a River”, which was inspired by Spears.

Earlier this week, Britney shared a post on Instagram, which has since been deleted, to apologize to anyone she had “offended” with her memoir, “The Woman in Me”. She also added: “I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish’ It is soo good”.

Britney’s praise for Timberlake’s song comes after her fan base went into a streaming and buying frenzy with her 2011 song, “Selfish”, to prevent Timberlake’s single from reaching the top of the charts.
