Timberlake slams newspaper over misquotes

Justin Timberlake has hit out at an English newspaper for misquoting him on the subject of drugs.

Whilst talking to The Observer recently, the singer stated: "It's a proven fact that nicotine is more addictive than heroin." Now Timberlake feels exploited by the publication for depicting him as a supporter of the hard drug.

He told MTV: "The next thing I see is like, 'Heroin is safer than cigarettes.' And I'm like, 'Who in their right mind would think that?' The thing you have to realise and not get bent out of shape about is the press is gonna say what the press wants to say.

"And they're gonna make a big deal out of the things they want to make a big deal out of. I know what I said. I know how I said it. If the conversation was printed there would be no room for misquote or error."
