Music producer Jermaine Dupri has blasted Justin Timberlake for failing to support his girlfriend Janet Jackson during her wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Superbowl.
The Island Music Group honcho also criticizes the “SexyBack” hitmaker's physical appearance, according to New York gossip column PageSix.
He writes in his autobiography Young, Rich and Dangerous, "I think Justin Timberlake is a talented performer. But he's very ordinary-looking. He could be any skinny white kid from the suburbs of Orlando. You could go to the mall and find another Justin. He doesn't make his style interesting even when he's onstage. To me, he just doesn't look like a star."
i think that J.D needs to leave J.T alone because it is getting very old quicky

jeramine dupri is still talking about the 2004 incident is getting old....i agree with him that he is still upset that J.T. didn't help Janet....
I was mad 2....but I'm over it and it's a new year

justin is talented as an artist and sometimes it may seem that he is self-centered but in the celebrity world who isn't....Jermaine I still like him as a rapper even if he just ordinary

Justin timberfake really needs to stop trying to be black.He hangs around blacks because he knows that we are soulful and sing and dance well.He left Jan out there all by herself and that was wrong.He showed his true colors she stood strong and he ran.

Justin is overrated. Chris Brown is much more talented and doesn't get half the attention Justin gets. I understand where jermaine is coming from...

Okay now this is ridiculous, this happened three months ago, get over it Jermaine!! I know people ar still talking about it, but he needs to be worried about Janet's 20 Y.O. album not being promoted. Wardrobe malfunction, everyone star has them. If it's not that they trip and fall like Beyonce, or get caught lip-synching like Ashlee Simpson!! Justin Timberlake is the deal, number one album. You couldn't find another "skinny white boy in the mall from Orlando" with a voice and charisma like Justin. Jermaine is a punk, leave Justin alone!!

2004?! Are you for real Jermaine? Please get a life...Whining about something from '04 makes you sound like a bitter, scorned woman...it's not a good look....

Controversy sells!!! It is only to get his book sold. Unfortunetly, in the media, this is how it is. The malfunction wasn't, and Osama bin Ladin has been dead for years. Oh, yeah, the war is for the oil of the mid-east....

In a way,i support what mr Dupri is said.Justin is a nice performer and i love his songs but at the same time,i think he is too self-centered and dosen't really care about anything, not even his fans.Well i hope he enjoys his fame and money.

Man, please get over it! This happened in 2004 for goodness sake. We are all so over it this is just a sad attempt to get some type of headline...Janet has the #1 movie in the country and Justin has a top album not to mention he has been nominated for several music awards....I think someone is feeling a little left out and needs some attention. Jermaine...Please Move On!

Justin"s rep won't represent and I understand. Why waste your energy on such a nonsense comment by Mr Dupri ( if true). I have had the privelege of seeing both Mr. Timberlake and Mr. Dubri in person.
I AM very sorry Mr. Dubri, but I saw YOU as just ordinary myself. I understand your emotional connection to Ms. Jackson and your support but, I don't believe YOU should be commenting on style and physical type. Let's talk about character... and get back to me brother...by the way, a star is what you BOTH are, don't hate because of politics, You know better ( I hope )... Peace
