Justin Timberlake has dismissed reports that he slagged off Britney Spears.

The singer was rumoured to have made the jibe before performing at a Super Bowl themed party on Saturday (February 2) in New Orleans.

It was reported that Timberlake called ex-girlfriend Spears a "b*tch" when talking finding the 'one' lady you would like to spend your life with.

However, he soon took to Twitter to dispel the report and say that he would never insult anyone, before speaking about lyrics to her song 'Scream & Shout'. Timberlake said:

"Ok. I see you. Wouldn't disrespect ANYONE personally. Ever. Relax #ItsBritneyB***h I do love that saying though *with accent* #Respect."

The former 'N Sync star dated Spears from 1999 until 2002.

As previously reported, Timberlake performed two new songs at the Super Bowl event - 'Little Pusher Love Girl' and 'That Girl' - as he gears up for the release of his new album 'The 20/20 Experience' in March.
