Grizzlies Minority Owner Justin Timberlake Defends His Fandom to Fan on Twitter

Don't ever question Justin Timberlake's fandom unless you have all of the facts.

On Monday night, the singer-actor sent out a tweet in support of the 10-1 Memphis Grizzlies:

One Twitter follower decided to call the star a "bandwagon" fan for that tweet:

"

"@jtimberlake: Grizzlies." Bandwagon.

Timberlake was quick to issue a response:

Oh snap. 

Timberlake did indeed become a minority owner of the Grizzlies back in 2012, so he is invested in the team. Also, as the 33-year-old noted, he was born and raised in Memphis. 

However, the fan still wasn't convinced that Timberlake should be calling himself a Grizzlies fan:

"

Those pictures of Timberlake wearing Los Angeles Lakers gear definitely hurt the singer's case. However, he provided good enough reasoning in his response to the fan that his fandom should not be in question.
