Despite reports, a source told Fox News Digital that the rumors were not true.
“Meg loves Justin. She was saying, ‘No, no, no, we’ve never met before.’ It was their first time meeting and she was excited,” said the source.
Both Timberlake and Megan poked fun at the speculation, with the “Bongos” rapper sharing a video of the two of them to her TikTok account.
“I just talk with my hands lol,” Megan captioned the video. “See ya next time @JustinTimberlake.”
Megan was nominated for two awards at the VMAs, but did not take home any hardware. Timberlake shocked the audience when he appeared with his former NSYNC bandmates to present the best pop video award.
“Over 20 years ago, we were just kids when we won best pop video for ‘Bye Bye Bye,'” JC Chasez told the audience. “It was our first VMA, and it meant the world to us.”
