The news that Justin Timberlake was on board for a potential collaboration with Britney Spears literally set the internet on fire. 

It was everywhere.

Who wouldn’t want to see the former couple team up for track?

The two of them are great in their own right, so we can only imagine just how great the track would be.

It’s just a shame that we’re now hearing the two of them are looking to avoid each other at all costs.

Maybe the celebrating was a little premature.

If you recall, Britney was the one who made the comment about a collaboration.

Then, Justin got wind of it and his reaction was super cute.

Sure, he was totally shocked, but he seemed pretty on board for the whole thing.

His excuse about not knowing about what was in the news was that he has a kid. 

That makes sense. 

He’s a busy man. When he’s not working on music, he’s working movies.

He even told Britney to call him.

So… what the heck is going on?

Britney is hitting up London for the Apple Music Festival in the next few weeks.

Justin will be jetting to London to make an appearance on The Graham Norton Show.

Both Spears and Timberlake have allegedly instructed their teams to plan ahead so that they don’t cross paths with one another.

“Justin will be arriving when Britney is still in town and both their teams have been ordered to make sure they don’t meet at all costs,” an insider said.

“Hotels, itineraries and planned promotional commitments are currently being checked.”

It all sounds pretty bizarre.

Why would the two of them address collaborating, only to try and go back on it just days later?

There’s just no logic at all in avoiding one another. 

There’s no denying they had beef in the past, but it appeared that it had been quashed. 

The singing sensations dated from 1999-2002. 

The main question everyone seemed to ask them during their relationship surrounded whether they had sex. 

Yes, everyone cared about the answer to that back then. 

There was word that Britney cheated on Justin and that’s allegedly where he got the inspiration for a string of hit singles.

Why would they give fans hope and just take it away from them?

What do you think about all of this?

Are they really ditching the collaboration?
