During Sunday night’s 12-minute Kanye West VMA speech, Kanye seemed to call out Justin Timberlake, but the singer is responding in kind.

“The contradiction is that I do fight for artists but in that fight, somehow, was disrespectful to artists,” Kanye told the crowd on Sunday. “I didn’t know how to say the right thing, the perfect thing, I sat at the GRAMMYs and saw Justin Timberlake and CeeLo Green lose. Gnarls Barkley and the FutureSex/LoveSound album, and bro, Justin, I’m not trying to put you on blast but I saw that man in tears, bro. And I was thinking he deserved to win Album Of the Year. And the small box that we are of entertainers of the evening, how could you explain that?”

Justin took his response to Twitter: “Kanye is so cute, y’all.” He later added, “Jokes, you guys… Jokes #chill.”

A few hours later, he followed up with, “Btw… I JUST watched my man ‘Ye’s FULL speech… He always has a point. And I support it. #truth.”
