A 13-Year-Old Britney Spears Song Is Back In The Charts Because Her Fans Are Trolling Justin Timberlake Amid His Music Comeback

Justin released his comeback single “Selfish” on Thursday, so Britney’s fans have been streaming her 2011 album track that has the same name — and it has already made the top 10.
Last year, Justin Timberlake faced a global reckoning when his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears released her hotly-anticipated memoir, The Woman In Me.

The book’s release marked the climax of the increasing scrutiny that Justin has been facing in recent years for the way that he treated Britney after they split in 2002.
If you need reminding, the pair were the ultimate power couple when they first started dating in 1999, but things took a turn when they broke up three years later.
At the time, Justin actively fueled the narrative that Britney had cheated on him and broken his heart, which saw Britney get vilified.

In addition, Justin regularly made crude and disrespectful comments about his and Britney’s sex life, before going on to make thinly veiled jabs about her mental health as the years went on.
Meanwhile, Britney largely kept silent for two decades, but set the record straight in her book, where she claimed that Justin had actually cheated on her “a couple of times” when they were together.

She also revealed that she’d had a secret abortion prior to him breaking up with her via text message, adding that the abortion is “one of the most agonizing things” that she has ever experienced and that if it’d been left up to her alone she never would have gone through with it.
