Justin Timberlake suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction during his Nashville show last Thursday.

A concertgoer posted a video on TikTok that shows the SexyBack singer, 43, strapped into a harness while closing out the Bridgestone Arena stop of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour with his 2013 hit Mirrors.

At one point, the fan zooms in to Timberlake’s groin area to spotlight how the contraption was tightly wrapped around his bulge, leaving little to the imagination.

The footage has since amassed 7 million views on the social media platform.

“The way my jaw dropped. Honey NO ONE TOLD HIM during rehearsals? Oof,” one viewer commented.

“I think you saw Justin’s Timber,” another joked.

“This is going to ruin the tour,” a third fan wrote, quoting what Timberlake told police when he was arrested for drunk driving in June.

Other TikTok users pointed out that the Grammy winner appeared to be “constantly trying to cover it with his shirt” to no avail.

Timberlake is no stranger to wardrobe malfunctions, as he and Jackson, 58, infamously coined the term after he exposed her breast during their 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.

The Rhythm Nation singer’s career took a hit after the incident, including radio blacklisting her music, while the former *NSYNC member won his first two Grammy Awards just one week later.

However, Jackson defended Timberlake in her 2022 Lifetime and A&E documentary, saying they “will always be very good friends.”
