India Arie Did Not Like Jimmy Fallon And Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl Skit
Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake’s “Songversation” skit after the Super Bowl seemed to be funny for most people, but not India Arie.
“I hear @jimmyfallon show appropriated my sacred word . . . just be clear — I’m offended,” she tweeted. Two Arie albums and all her performances since 2013 have been dubbed “Songversation.”

“I know its not personal to you . . . but it IS personal to me. Now that you know . . . please DO NOT do that,” she added.
Jimmy and Justin’s joke seemed to be unintended, but their video included them conversing through ’90s lyrics.
