Mind. Blown. But the conversation didn’t stop there. Someone dug up Marsha’s old tweet where she told us that years ago!!

My first #Grammy win "Cry Me A River" Justin Timberlake (that's me on backgrounds and ad libs at the end) I was sitting in the nose bleeds!

And then, this realization. We were giving props where props weren’t due.

Justin Timberlake COASTED through the culture off them adlibs on the end of Cry Me and it WASNT. EVEN. HIM!!! 😩😩😩
