Dana White reveals his backstage beef with “d*ckhead” Justin Timberlake
UFC President, Dana White has this week revealed exactly what his problem is with pop act, Justin Timberlake after labelling him a “d*ckhead” a couple of weeks back and unsurprisingly it involves him and his kids getting the brush off back stage at a recent awards show.
Speaking via Sports Illustrated, Dana said:
“Recently me and my wife were at Nickelodeon Awards and we were backstage with the Black Eyed Peas in their dressing room hanging out. First of all, this thing is in L.A., so every guy on the planet wants to get their kids backstage with all the people that are back there. They had Bieber, Selena Gomez, all these people are back there. So my kids are back there and they’re taking pictures with all these people and stuff. There [are] no other kids backstage. No other kids. Just my kids, and I think I have Lorenzo’s daughter with me, too. This was a few years ago. You name it, A-list, all the A-listers that the kids would love are backstage. The biggest d—head back there was Justin Timberlake. Just such a complete jack off, yeah. Just couldn’t have been a bigger d—. I don’t know if he’s a UFC fan or not, but I’m not a big Timberlake fan. Takes two seconds to say hi to a kid. Takes two seconds. I never run by anybody. If you’re a fan of the UFC and you like it or your kids like it, why would I not want to talk to you? Why would I not?”
The UFC often book big acts to play at their Christmas party, with 2012 seeing the Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s playing at Zuffa headquarters. I guess Timberlake won’t be getting an invite for 2013.
