He wanted to pay tribute to Prince, but that 'goodwill' could cost Justin Timberlake dearly. The singer used Prince's hologram without permission at the Super Bowl LII, and his relatives could take action.
During the days leading up to the NFL championship game, it was reported that Timberlake would present a hologram of Prince, whose hometown was Minneapolis. However, his relatives revealed that there was no authorization.
That is why they were surprised when they saw Prince's hologram on the U.S. Bank Stadium stage. Justin Timberlake sang 'I Would Die 4 U' while it was seen by millions of people around the world.
Prince's performance at Super Bowl XLI in 2007 is still considered one of the best of all time, particularly after the singer performed in a real downpour while singing "Purple Rain".
