Timberlake hits back at Kanye West

Justin Timberlake has hit back at Kanye West for insulting his collaboration with Jay-Z while hosting 'Saturday Night Live'.

The 'Suit Tie' singer, whose song with Jay-Z was slammed by Kanye in an expletive-laden diatribe last month - dismissed the insults while performing the song on the comedy sketch show and implied he is just jealous.

The 32-year-old singer changed the lyrics of the song from 'Aww, st so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit' to 'my hit's so sick got rappers acting dramatic.'

Kanye hit out at Justin, who collaborated with his 'Watch the Throne' partner 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 st.'

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