Justin Timberlake clarifies One Direction comment

Justin Timberlake has seemingly backtracked on a quote in which he suggested 'N Sync are better than One Direction.

The 90s pop group made their live comeback at the MTV VMAs recently for a one-off medley of some of their hits.

Timberlake was soon after quoted in an interview with the Breakfast Club as saying that 'N Sync are better than One Direction.

However, he has now posted on Twitter to seemingly state that he was actually taken out of context. The singer said:

“@NME: Justin Timberlake: N Sync are better than One Direction... I thought the question was about a pie eating contest. My bad. #newsworthy."
