Another source told Variety that Timberlake will discuss recent comments made by his former girlfriend, Britney Spears.

Representatives for Timberlake, Jackson, and Apple have not responded to requests for comment or have had no comment regarding the project.

Background and Career Context

Timberlake has a history with the streamer dating back to 2021, when he starred in the Apple Original film “Palmer.” His most recent studio album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” was released in March of 2024. Following that release, he embarked on the “Forget Tomorrow” global tour, which concluded in July of 2025.

During the tour, Timberlake addressed health challenges related to his performance. In July 2025, he announced he had been diagnosed with Lyme disease.

“I’ve been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme Disease–which I don’t say so you feel bad for me – but to shed some light on what I’ve been up against behind the scenes,” Timberlake wrote. He noted that the disease can be "relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically."

Past Controversies and Legal Issues

Timberlake's career has included several public controversies. In February 2021, he issued a public apology to both Jackson and Spears regarding past events. Regarding the Super Bowl controversy, Timberlake wrote, “I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right,” according to Billboard. He also expressed remorse for the way he had previously spoken about Britney Spears following their 2002 breakup.

In June 2024, Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor, New York, for driving while intoxicated. He was pulled over after running a stop sign and veering out of his lane. Timberlake ultimately pleaded guilty to a lesser impaired-driving charge and was sentenced to 25 hours of community service. While some reports suggested he told officers, “This is going to ruin the tour,” police bodycam footage released later showed he instead said something similar to, “I’m on tour.”
