Britney Spears shared a tribute to Janet Jackson on Instagram, Sunday, amid her ongoing feud with Justin Timberlake. She noted that the iconic singer is someone she will "look up to" for the rest of her life. Fans in the comments section were quick to note that Timberlake infamously exposed Jackson's breasts during their performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2004.
“Thank you to this beautiful lady for keeping my dreams and heart alive,” Spears wrote in the since-deleted post. “She’s always been the deepest and brightest woman at the same time. She went through so much but I feel she is someone I will look up to for the rest of my life.” She added: “Thank you for your music and your divine way of untangling intelligence to a far more clear view than anyone could ever imagine.”

Spears' feud with Timberlake resurfaced after the release of her memoir, The Woman in Me, which contained several stories about her ex. She claimed the NSYNC singer cheated on her and pressured her into getting an abortion. “I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about, I am deeply sorry,” Spears wrote, adding that she enjoyed Timberlaker's new single, "Selfish." While performing at his 43rd birthday party in New York City, Timberlake seemingly responded to the comments by remarking: “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely f–king nobody.”
