Justin Timberlake insists he absolutely loves Kanye West.

The 32-year-old star was asked on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' on Monday night (11.03.13) about changing the lyrics from "Aww, s**t so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit" to "my hit's so sick got rappers acting dramatic", while performing the track live on the comedy sketch show on Saturday (09.03.13).

He said: "Did it seem that way? I don't remember that . . . Did I change a line? It is live. You know, really, everyone, keep calm.

"Let me just, for the record. I absolutely love Kanye. So there's that. We love Kanye, right?"

Kanye - who is expecting his first child with girlfriend Kim Kardashian in early July - hit out at Justin, who collaborated with his 'Watch the Throne' partner Jay-Z on the track, during his intimate gig at London's Hammersmith Apollo last month.

He told the crowd: "I've got love for Hov but I'm not down with that suit and tie s**t."

Justin won rave reviews for hosting 'SNL' for the fifth time, which featured cameos from Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, and Martin Short.
