Jealousy or just an acute artistic sense made the British rock band Kasabian, currently holding tight to the number one position in the album chart, speak out against the American pop sensation Justin Timberlake.

It could be understandable why they would lash out on the pop singer's latest album, considering that his 'SexyBack' single is now the number one hit in all charts in the United Kingdom. Their position is threatened and they made the only move they could think of: attacking him and his music.

'He's a midget with whiskers who is just trying to be black. He's a puppet in a million-dollar suit who's had his strings cut off', Tom Meighan, the lead singer for Kasabian, said. He also had a few words to say regarding the 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' album: 'It's just money music. You can smell the money coming off it. He's a knobhead'.

And Meighan is not the only member of the rock band who thinks this of Timberlake. The bassist Chris Edwards completed the American singer's 'description' by adding: '"SexyBack"? More like hairy back. It's the worst title of any record I've ever heard!'.

Considering that 'SexyBack' is the title of the first single from the album (which is called, as we all know 'FutureSex/LoveSounds'), is there any doubt left that the Kasabian rockers are just scared that they will be replaced in the charts by Timberlake?
