Who knows what else will be revealed about Justin once the book is released on Tuesday! It’s no wonder that the actor is feeling extremely nervous about the revelations, particularly regarding how they will affect his career.
According to The Sun, it is believed that Justin is “on edge” due to the claims made in the memoir and has expressed “significant concern” about how they will impact his “major music comeback.” This year, we have seen the father of two release new songs such as Keep Going Up with Timbaland and Nelly Furtado. He has also reunited with *NSYNC to release their first track in over two decades, Better Place. After collaborating with other artists, he seems ready to release an entire new album.
An insider has claimed that Justin has been working on new music for months and believes it is “fresh and some of his best work.” The outlet reported that the In Time star has secretly been rehearsing music for months with hopes of touring in 2024. However, everything changed with the release of the book.
In light of Britney’s accusations, Justin now fears that “the entire campaign will focus on his response to the Britney stories and be derailed by that narrative.” Consequently, his representatives are reportedly working tirelessly to “shield Justin from the fallout” but secretly there is a great deal of worry. The source explained:
“For months, the plan was to have all positive vibes built around Justin’s return with some huge hip-hop tracks. However, now the concern is what will he say about Britney and how will he handle it, both in terms of media promotion and his interaction with fans? Regardless of what people say in public, privately the biggest concern is whether any of this will impact his sales. That is a major worry.”
The insider added:
“Honestly, no one knows how Justin will come out of this right now. The initial focus needs to be on absorbing the shock and headlines that come from Britney’s words. Justin has been entirely focused on this music comeback, eager to showcase his talent on stage. He has an impressive collection of hits and is excited to present this new album to audiences.”
Ultimately, Justin hopes that his music will help fans “move on from these controversies”:
“The next 12 months are crucial for him. Even before all this erupted, the goal was for Justin to establish himself once again as one of the greatest male entertainers in contemporary pop. That drive still exists. Certainly, by releasing new chart-topping songs and delivering amazing performances, he can go a long way in making audiences forget about these controversies.”
Hmm. It might have to be an exceptionally outstanding album to divert people’s attention from these earth-shattering accusations!
But what can we say, Justin? He only has himself to blame for his actions and the subsequent consequences. And as he once sang, “What goes around comes back around!” What are your thoughts, Perezcious readers? Do you think a new album would help fans forget about the controversies?
