Justin Timberlake assures fans that his Super Bowl LII halftime show will be far less controversial than his 2004 performance with Janet Jackson.

The former NSYNC frontman told NBC Sports' Mike Tirico the wardrobe malfunction was brought up in his discussions with the NFL, and promised "that won't happen this time."

Sunday's announcement that Timberlake would be performing at Super Bowl LII prompted backlash from some Janet Jackson supporters who felt she was unfairly being blamed for the wardrobe malfunction. The NFL has since released a statement clarifying that "there's no ban" on a possible Jackson appearance.
