Justin Timberlake ignited a social media storm on Sunday after tweeting about a moving speech delivered by Grey's Anatomy actor Jesse Williams at the 2016 BET Awards.

The 35-year-old singer sent out a string of apology tweets after facing backlash for writing that he was "#inspired" by Williams' moving speech at the award show in which he spoke out about racial issues, social justice and cultural appropriation.

"I apologize to anyone that felt I was out of turn," he tweeted. I have nothing but LOVE FOR YOU AND ALL OF US –JT"

It wasn't Timberlake's initial tweet that outraged many on the social media site as much as it was his response to a particular critique in which one tweeter wrote, "So does this mean you're going to stop appropriating our music and culture? And apologize to Janet too. #BETAwards."
