Dupri: 'Timberlake Lacks Style'....
Janet Jackson's music mogul boyfriend has lashed out at Justin Timberlake in his new book, calling the pop superstar "ordinary looking" and a "skinny white kid".Producer Jermaine Dupri takes issue with Timberlake's success in The Making Of A Mogul: Young, Rich and Dangerous, because he thinks the SexyBack star could be much bigger if he worked on his image.He says, "I'm giving people my perspective as a music person, who creates artists from scratch."I have a new artist that's coming out and he told me that he wanted to wear suits as his image... To me, that's not gonna do anything, that's not gonna set you aside from anything."I don't believe that the image that he (Timberlake) gives me even makes me believe that he's as big star as he could be... I believe that his music is incredible but he doesn't have anything else to go along with the music".Dupri is upset that some media types are suggesting his attack on Timberlake is little more than payback after the Cry Me A River star publicly criticised his girlfriend after unwittingly finding himself in the middle of the controversy following her Breast-Baring 'Wardrobe Malfunction' during their 2004 SuperBowl duet.Dupri says, "I don't say anything about the SuperBowl in that whole statement".
