Getty Images<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t talk about Justin Timberlake beatboxing enough,\u201d Young said in the video posted Sunday. \u201cBecause there was a moment in time where that man would be in the middle of a song and just \u2026 boots and cats, boots and cats. And we were like, \u2018Yes. There he is.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cNobody questioned it. Nobody said, \u2018Justin, you know, we have drums. This is a professional recording studio. There are instruments available to you,’\u201d she continued. \u201cBut no, Justin Timberlake wanted to make space noises with his mouth. You couldn\u2019t stop him \u2026 awards shows, live performances. <\/p>\n \u201cYou gave that man a microphone, and there was always a chance he was about to go, \u2018Boots and cats, boots and cats,’\u201d Young added. \u201cAnd we liked it. That\u2019s what I need us to sit with.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t talk about Justin Timberlake beatboxing enough,\u201d Young said in part in the video posted Sunday.

I still haven\u2019t come up with any answers,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI don\u2019t know how to apologize enough for whatever those ambitions were. Too many boots. Too many cats. I hope you can forgive me.\u201d<\/p>\n Timberlake (pictured above during a press conference in Sag Harbor, New York, in 2024) responded to Young\u2019s video in the comments, admitting that he regrets some of his past \u201cambitions.\u201d Brigitte Stelzer<\/p>\n \u201cI often look back on that time as well.
