Justin Timberlake won the Best Song award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday night for "Can't Stop the Feeling."
But he'll most likely be remembered for his brief acceptance speech. He offered advice to kids who felt "different," whether they were "black, brown, gay, lesbian, trans" or "just a sissy singing boy from Tennessee," a nod to his roots.
His advice on dealing with opposition, in two words: "F*ck 'em."
