Lance Bass overheard Diddy telling Justin Timberlake to bail on NSYNC: ‘Drop These Fuckers!’
Don’t expect to see Lance Bass‘ name on the list of celebrities who’ve attended one of Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ parties. The former *NSYNC singer and solo star told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday night (Sept. 25) that after hearing something the disgraced Bad Boy mogul said when Diddy opened for *NSYNC on the group’s final tour in 2002 he had no interest in spending time with Combs.
“I never had time to go to a Diddy party,” said Bass, who added that he’d totally forgotten that Diddy had warmed up the stage for *NSYNC until the rapper/producer was arrested in New York on Sept. 16 and accused by prosecutors of operating a criminal enterprise centered on his “pervasive pattern of abuse toward women.” Diddy was been denied bail twice while awaiting trial on the three felony charges of sex trafficking and racketeering that could land him a life sentence.
“It’s kinda horrible, but never kinda liked him because the very last show in Orlando I overheard him talking to Justin [Timberlake] being like, ‘You need to drop these… effers! You need to go solo! And I was like, ‘I don’t like you anymore Diddy.’ I’m like, ‘at my own show? What the hell?'” said Bass.
Timberlake did, of course, go out on his own after *NSYNC went on hiatus in 2002 and has released six solo albums to date, including this year’s Everything I Thought It Was.
The Diddy story was ironic because elsewhere in the interview, Bass was asked by a caller about rumors of a possible *NSYNC reunion tour. “I can finally say we’re in talks right now, we’re actually talking,” Bass said to wild applause about the possibility that he will once again hit the stage with Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick.
He added that the renewed interest has been sparked by the beloved boy band’s studio reunion last year for the Trolls Band Together soundtrack song “Better Place” — and Timberlake’s EITIW album track “Paradise” — as well as the catalog bump for the band thanks to the inclusion of the *NSYNC classic “Bye Bye Bye” in the opening credits sequence of Deadpool & Wolverine.
“We’d be stupid not to do something… just hold your breath just a little longer,” Bass teased. “It’s gonna take a little time, but I think something’s coming.”

On what planet is Lance Bass a “solo star”?

Bullshit, R3.

JC was the best looking in the group.

Justin got lucky by dating Britney. He was cute enough and seen as the most stylish rocking cornrows and what not. But JC was the best looking and most vocally talented. DMV stand up.

Also in the early 2000s, the media was obsessed with country people as long as they didn’t sound like complete hicks. Justin used to very much play up his country boy image and heritage.

You are missing the most important information from that appearance, Andy said he heard from Kelly Clarkson that JT had a huge cock and Lance grinned into the camera as if he had experienced it.

Diddy was right. I remember Simon Cowell also saying around 2001 that Justin was the best of the group and should go solo.

It could be the age factor too. JC and nem were much older than Justin who was actually a teen. He was an adult but still a teen. I’m guessing Lance is the same age as Justin. Don’t feel like googling. But them other jokers were pushing 30 by like the year 2002 and I know Joey Fatone had to be early 30s around that time.

I've seen Lance consistently in the entertainment press, and on TV shows and podcasts, for the last twenty years. But it only now occurred to me that I can't think of one single paying job he's held in all that time. Are NSYNC residuals sufficient to live comfortably, or has Lance figured out how to earn a living just by being famous? (I was going to compare him to Zsa Zsa Gabor, but I realized she at least had her husbands/alimony to support her.)

R23 That and they get paid when they appear on the gigs mentioned in r22’s post. None of them have JT’s money but Nysync sold a lot of fkin records and merchandise plus huge touring acts. I believe they are the best selling male group after the Beatles.

Here's the clip. He does say, "effers", which makes me think it was "fuckers". I thought it might have been "fags", too, at first.

Lance is one of those lucky people who has made money and remained semi-relevant for decades despite having zero talent or abilities.

It's a bad thing to overhear but - every boy or girl group has one main singer and the rest are seen as glorified background dancers/singers. Every single one.
They had to have expected this? 90% of their songs were led by Justin. JC did a few - but I can't recall any other songs led by any of the other 3.

JC was the best singer in the group and arguably better looking than Justina.

R33 - that's the truth but Justin wanted the fame more. Also I believe JC is gay - there's just no real female relationships and he hung out with a lot of gay guys for awhile there.
Justin's career was really helped by Brittany - who both JC and Justin knew from Mickey Mouse Club. Brittany was the biggest star on the planet - it really helped his solo career to be associated with that. Sort of the same with Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber.
I've always thought Justin was just run of the mill, generic straight white guy douche bag with an overinflated ego.

JC didn't have the confidence to be a star. Probably due to being closeted.

R37 - apparently in his bio, he was adopted by Mennonites at 5 years old? Living in that environment and going into entertainment must have been a weird clash.
JC gives major gay vibes. R38's gaydar needs new batteries.

R47 you see I didn’t know that. People always want to talk shit about celebs just because you don’t see them in the limelight. And then talk shit about celebs who won’t leave the limelight. But it’s especially irritating how gay men bash other out gay men for no reason.

R37 JC wanted to do his own thing. He wanted to write, produce and own his own masters and publishing rights. He wanted to be Prince but he was not where near as talented, He could have just signed with a label and churned out pop like Justin but he didn't go that route and it cost him.
