Timberlake on feud: 'I absolutely love Kanye'

NEW YORK, March 12 (UPI) -- Pop star Justin Timberlake said during a visit to "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" in New York he is not feuding with rapper Kanye West.

West publicly criticized Timberlake's new song, "Suit & Tie," last month.

When Timberlake sang the song while serving as host of "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend, he changed the line, "Aww, [expletive] so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit" to "my hit's so sick, got rappers acting dramatic."

Asked on Monday's edition of "Late Night" about the apparent dig at West, Timberlake told Fallon: "Let me just, for the record, I absolutely love Kanye. So there's that. We love Kanye, right?"

West and Timberlake are both recent collaborators of hip-hop mogul Jay-Z.
