Justin Timberlake has been filmed in a heated altercation with a group of fans while driving his luxury vehicle.

The US singer, 43, was captured on camera snapping at a car full of hecklers, who could be heard challenging him to a drag race in the middle of a busy street in a video shared on X.

“That’s Justin Timberlake, bro,” one man could be heard saying, with Timberlake not immediately visible through the tinted windows.

“Roll down the window!” the man continued, with Timberlake ultimately succumbing to the demand.

The star, who is married to US actress Jessica Biel, then appeared from behind the wheel, before lashing out at the men in the car.

“You want something?” Timberlake frostily asks.

“Let’s race,” the group responds, prompting Timberlake to repeatedly ask, “You want something?”

The video cuts as Timberlake says, “Get out of here you f***ing kids.”

It’s certainly been a turbulent year in Timberlake’s personal life, with the actor forced to publicly apologise after his headline-making drink driving offence in June last year.

“I did not live up to the standard I hold myself to,” he told a judge in Long Island, near New York City, in September as he faced the music.

The former boy band member made a deal that saw him plead guilty to a lesser charge of driving while ability impaired. The non criminal offence avoided any possibility of jail time.

His lawyers argued he wasn’t drunk at the time and only had a single drink over two hours at a restaurant.

However Timberlake “performed poorly on all standardised field sobriety tests,” the police documents stated.

Addressing Sag Harbor Justice Carl Irace, Timberlake said that he tried to hold himself to the “highest standard possible,” and since his arrest had “found myself in a position of disappointment.”

“I’d like to take a moment to show gratitude to everybody involved,” he said and that he understood “the strain this can put” on a local community.

People reported Timberlake was fined $US500 ($745).

He also had to pay a surcharge on top of that, of $US260 ($400).

Further, the star was sentenced to complete 35 hours of community service and his driving licence was suspended for three months.

Timberlake and Biel, who married in 2012, share two sons, Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4.
