After news of Justin Timberlake’s DWI arrest broke, social media has been flooded with fans sharing comical memes related to his alleged state of being under the influence.
According to officials, Justin Timberlake was taken into custody in the Hamptons on June 18 for a DWI (driving while intoxicated) after he was unable to pass a field sobriety test.
Despite reportedly missing a stop sign and swerving between lanes, Timberlake claimed to the arresting officer that he had only consumed “one martini.”
Under his breath, Timberlake also mentioned that his arrest would “spoil the tour.”He was alluding to his upcoming ‘Forget Tomorrow’ world tour, scheduled to kick off on June 22 in Chicago, Illinois.
Upon hearing the officer’s question, the pop star was taken aback and replied, “What tour?”It seemed that the officer was unaware of the star’s identity.
Despite Timberlake’s pending court hearing on July 26, his fans have turned to platforms like TikTok and other social media sites to mock him with memes featuring the artist himself.
Timberlake is commonly depicted dancing back and forth in most memes, while captions are added from the perspective of an officer saying, “Please walk in a straight line, sir.”

Despite being arrested, Timberlake’s fans have continued to show their support for him. This was evident in the comments section of another popular meme that featured him dancing in a jail cell with the caption “Justin putting on a show for all the other inmates.”One fan wrote, “I still adore him.”

Another person also concurred, stating, “You could never make me hate you.”
In April, Drake, the rapper, was also the subject of a viral meme. This was sparked by Metro Boomin’ who created the ‘BBL Drizzy’ beat, mocking Drake’s rumored Brazilian butt lift. Following this, TikTokers used the sound to produce humorous videos.
Despite not featuring the rapper’s actual face in their viral videos, many posters were able to convey the message that he is, in the words of Kendrick Lamar, simply “not like us”through the use of his song.
