While inducting Madonna to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York on Monday, Justin Timberlake made jokes about ex-fiancé, Britney Spears.

“The world has always been full of Madonna wannabes and I might have even dated a couple,” he said, taking a stab at Spears.

Spears is currently receiving help for mental health issues, with decisions being made by her father, Jamie.

Timberlake also made a thinly-veiled joke about Madonna’s famous lip-lock with Spears. “She has still found time to kiss someone I may or may not have publicly kissed myself while I was in the audience. Of course you know I was talking about Sean Penn.”

Of course, Madonna was not to be outdone. She stirred up her own controversy while accepting the honour. Her speech included calling the audience “motherf—-ers,” a story about sharing ecstasy with the executive she gave her first demo to, and imitating Michael Jackson in a squeaky voice and admitting she purposely stole Jackson’s manager.

Timberlake recently collaborated with Madonna on her new album.
