Britney Spears’ fans want Timbaland to apologise after the record producer said collaborator Justin Timberlake should have “put a muzzle on that girl", as the pop star’s memoir makes some explosive claims about the NSYNC crooner.

Though the 51-year-old Grammy winner, real name Tim Mosley, made the controversial remark while speaking with 9th Wonder at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts last week, the comment is just now going viral, TMZ reports.
