Fans were looking right at the other half of Justin Timberlake after a stage malfunction during one of his concerts drew too much attention below the belt.
The Grammy-winning singer, who’s currently on his best-selling Forget Tomorrow World Tour, went about business as usual while performing at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Dec. 12. However, a wardrobe malfunction involving a tight-fitted harness has been going viral.
A TikTok video filmed by a concert goer showed Timberlake, 43, trying to situate himself in the harness and fans we all abuzz about how it seemed to accidentally highlight his groin.
In the clip, Timberlake can be seen pulling at the bottom of his shirt in order to cover the area.
The harness is used for his performance of “Mirrors,” during which he sings over the crowd on a suspended platform.

The comment section of the video, which has reached 5.5 million views as of writing, included a few quips comparing Timberlake’s mishap to a malfunction Chris Brown had during one his 11:11 Tour shows in Canada this past summer.
Comments referring to “Chris brown in a harness” didn’t specify the incident, however Daily Mail reported on an accident that highlighted Brown’s “manhood” while The Hollywood Reporter shared a video of the singer stuck in the air mid-concert.
Timberlake hasn’t yet commented on the malfunction or the video.

In October, Timberlake postponed tour dates from Oct. 23 to Nov. 2 following a diagnosis with bronchitis and laryngitis. He then canceled the Dec. 2 show in New Orleans due to an ongoing back injury.
Timberlake’s two-hour long concerts features a 29-song set list that includes fan favorites such as “My Love,” “Cry Me a River,” “Suit & Tie,” and “Rock Your Body” as well as songs from his newest project.
