But the ‘WAP’ performer brushed off talk it was part of a row by posting a TikTok video on Wednesday (13.09.23) that showed her smiling and dancing next to Justin while making hand gestures toward the camera.

She explained in a caption how she always “talks” with her hands: “I just talk with my hands lol.”

Megan added: “@justintimberlake love ya .”

Page Six has reported she and Justin filmed the explanation video at a VMA afterparty at TAO Downtown in the Skybox private dining room after talk started to spread they were involved in a fight.

Sources said they partied there until 2am on Wednesday.

Fans have flooded social media with messages of support for Megan after she posted the video, with some saying it is typical for her to “talk with her hands”, making her look angry.

One told the outlet: “Meg loves Justin. She was saying, ‘No, no, no, we’ve never met before.’

“It was their first time meeting, and she was excited.”

Megan was at the VMAs to perform her and Cardi B’s new single ‘Bongos’.
