Justin Timberlake’s lawyer talks tough over his arrest for drunk driving
The legal representative of Justin Timberlake, on Wednesday, broke his silence following the singer’s arrest in the United States.
The ace singer was arrested by the police on Monday night at Sag Harbor, on the eastern end of Long Island, for allegedly driving under the influence (DUI).
Timberlake was arraigned on Tuesday and charged with one count of driving while intoxicated along with citations for failure to keep right and failure to stop at a stop sign.
He was, however, released without bail on Tuesday after being formally charged. He is scheduled to appear virtually in court on July 26.
According to TMZ, Edward Burke Jr, Timberlake’s lawyer, vowed that he would “vigorously” defend him against the allegations.
Burke added that he wants to see what prosecutors have on his client.
“[We] look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations. He will have a lot to say at the appropriate time,” he said.
“He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.”
Timberlake is on a tour to promote his latest album, ‘Everything I Thought It Was’.
The ‘Forget Tomorrow World Tour’ is scheduled to play host to Chicago’s United Center on June 21 and June 22, before heading to New York City’s Madison Square Garden on June 25 and June 26.

Burna Boy, the Afrofusion singer, has addressed his critics, revealing why he no longer takes a hard approach to situations.
In a recent post on his Instastory, the Grammy winner expressed frustration at being criticised for reacting to issues, while his attackers go unchecked.
The 33-year-old singer wondered why people quickly condemn him for speaking out but show no concern when he’s the victim of an attack.
Burna Boy implied that his critics should consider themselves lucky, saying, “I have too much to lose now”.
The hitmaker also warned his critics not to mistake his silence for weakness.
“When they talk nobody cares, but when I react it’s a Nuclear disaster,” he wrote. “Y’all don’t know how lucky you are that I have too much to lose now, Walahi a lot of you would not be here no more. Anyway make I just go buy another thing to relax.
“Bundle by bundle! No sign of weakness!”

I earn more from car wash business than music, says Jason Derulo
Jason Derulo, the American singer, says he earns more from his car washing business than music.
Derulo, who owns a car wash business called Rocket CarWash, shared in an interview that the venture has become more profitable than his music career.
He said he did not expect the business to be so successful, especially since he has never advertised it.
He added that Rocket CarWash is a unique glass-walled facility where customers can watch the car washing process as if it were a show.
“It’s true that I make more money from my car washing business than my music. It’s pretty crazy. It’s something that I didn’t expect at all. I got into it, I thought that it would be good but I didn’t think that was going to be a life-changing event,” he said.
“You know what’s crazy? I have never even advertised my car washing business. It’s pretty amazing. It’s a super car wash. It’s not like the ones you’re probably used to. It’s all glass so when your car is being washed, everybody can see the action. It’s like a show.”
Derulo is best known for hits like ‘Whatcha Say’, ‘Talk Dirty’, and ‘Savage Love’.
