Justin Timberlake’s “Tunnel Vision” cover art was controversial on its own, but it was just a taste of what he has in store for his song’s music video. He did warn us, though, he said it’s explicit. And by explicit he meant it’s even more shocking than his infamous Nipplegate scandal with Janet Jackson.

“Check out the new video for Tunnel Vision and be ready... it’s explicit,” he wrote on his Twitter.

The seven-minute video focuses on a few writhing women with nothing on but flesh-coloured thongs. And yes, they’re all topless. There’s no strategic covering of breasts as well. The video unashamedly shows off the nipples of women as they dance seductively to Justin’s music.

Justin is fully covered in the video, though. And it doesn’t seem like he was in the same room as the women. He is featured either in a projection or superimposed on the women’s bodies.

Producer Timbaland also makes a cameo appearance in the video.

If Justin’s video looks familiar, it might be because he’s not the first artist to feature topless women with almost non-existent skimpy bottoms in his music video.

R&B singer Robin Thick, featuring rappers T.I. and Pharrell, starred in a similarly explicit music video in March. In “Blurred Lines,” there were also women dancing toples in the same room as Robin and Pharrell, and T.I. He released a second less provocative version with the women wearing tops in April after YouTube banned the original version.

As for Justin, it can be recalled that he is no stranger to topless controversies.

In 2004, he was involved in the Nipplegate scandal with Janet. The two music stars were performing live at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show that year when they shocked more than 140 million viewers at the end of their performance when Justin exposed Janet’s breast, which had a nipple shield, for about a second.

They later referred to the incident as “wardrobe malfunction.” But the Federal Communications Commission in the U.S. did not buy their alibi. The FCC fined CBS network, which aired the Super Bowl, $550,000, though that was appealed and voided in a ruling in 2011.

This time around, it would be hard, if not nearly impossible, for Justin to claim that the women in his music video just suffered wardrobe malfunction.

“Tunnel Vision” is from Justin’s “The 20/20 Experience” album.
