A video of Timberlake,43, performing his song Mirrors shows the tightly-fitted harness highlighting his groin, with the star pulling at his shirt in an attempt to cover his pants.
The video has already amassed 7.6 million views, with commenters rushing to joke about the pop star’s below-the-belt blunder.
“This is going to ruin the tour,” wrote one fan, quoting the infamous line Timberlake told police when he was arrested for drunk driving earlier this year.
“Justice for Janet,” wrote another, referencing the controversial Super Bowl halftime show where Timberlake performed with Janet Jackson and exposed her breast to the audience.
Timberlake won his first Grammy Award just one week after the incident, while Jackson’s career and reputation were damaged.
