Talk to the hand — or just with it.
Megan Thee Stallion shut down rumors that she and Justin Timberlake had a fiery exchange backstage at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards Tuesday night.
The “Thot S–t” rapper, 28, posted a TikTok video early Wednesday in which she smiled and danced beside the “Mirrors” singer, 42, while making hand gestures toward the camera.
“I just talk with my hands🤷🏽♀️ lol,” she captioned the clip, adding, “@justintimberlake love ya 💙.”
We’re told Megan and Timberlake filmed the video at a VMA afterparty at TAO Downtown in the Skybox private dining room and were both partying the night away until after 2 a.m.
Fans flooded social media to share their relief that there was no beef between the stars.
“As a fellow hand talker I understood immediatelyyyyyy😂❤️,” one person commented.
“Black women are not always angry!!!!” a second exclaimed.
“PERIOD! Shut the haters up!!!!!!!!!! 😝,” another added.
“It’s the best way of communication, especially when the nails are on point 💅,” a fan joked.
“All of us apart of the hand talking and head rolling committee knew it was all love😂😂,” one more wrote.
Rumors of a “heated” backstage feud started swirling after a video circulating on social media showed the “WAP” performer dramatically waving her hands at the *NSYNC frontman as she seemed to shout at him.
However, multiple sources confirmed to Page Six that the encounter was friendly.
“Meg loves Justin,” one source shared with us. “She was saying, ‘No, no, no, we’ve never met before.’ It was their first time meeting, and she was excited.”

Another insider explained that Megan simply wanted a chance to talk to Timberlake more.
“Megan didn’t want this to be the first meeting with Justin Timberlake, so [she] said, ‘Not now,’” the eyewitness told Page Six.
Megan attended the star-studded awards show to perform her and Cardi B’s new single, “Bongos.”
Meanwhile, Timberlake reunited with his *NSYNC bandmates, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone, amid rumors that they are collaborating on a new project.
