Justin Timberlake just dropped the mic…hard.
The talented entertainer was on stage at the iHeart Radio Awards accepting the very first award of the evening, and he decided to kick things off in dramatic fashion.
He said, “I wrote this song because I wanted it to be about inclusion.”
The trophy he earned was for his new hit song “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” from the movie Trolls and he just couldn’t stop feeling he wanted to troll the haters.
He went on to say, “I want to take this opportunity and speak to young people right now 'cause there’s a lot of you looking at me. If you are black or gay or lesbian or trans or maybe you're just a sissy singing boy from Tennessee, anyone that is treating you unkindly it's only because they are afraid or taught to be afraid of how important you are. Because being different means you make the difference…So f--k 'em.”
The powerful words ring a similar tune to the speech he gave at the same awards show last year where he took a swipe at President Trump’s plan to build a wall along the U.S. – Mexico border.
Gotta love a little blunt honesty from a man with a real voice.
