Justin Timberlake is marking a special moment following his DWI arrest on Long Island, New York.

On Tuesday, June 25, the musician, 43, headed to New York’s Madison Square Garden Arena with his Forget Tomorrow World Tour and gave a shoutout to the New York Knicks in his first social media post since his arrest in the early hours of June 18.

To celebrate his N.Y.C. performance, Timberlake had some tour T-shirts made in the team’s blue and orange colors — and was seen on camera holding up the merch in a video shared on his Instagram.

The “Selfish” singer wore a black T-shirt and cap in the clip, which was taken in the arena ahead of his show. “This is so important right now… let’s go! Got y’alls Knicks colors,” Timberlake, whose previous Instagram post was on Father’s Day, jokingly said in the video.

“We had to do it!” the musician then sang, as someone else said, “Bing, bong” from behind the camera.

The *NSYNC hitmaker — who will also take the stage at the iconic venue on Wednesday, June 26 — has been continuing his tour after news of his arrest in Sag Harbor for allegedly driving while intoxicated or impaired was revealed last week.

PEOPLE previously confirmed Timberlake was charged with one count of DWI and two citations — one for running a stop sign and one for failure to keep in lane. The “SexyBack” singer appeared in court on Tuesday, June 18, and was released from police custody shortly after that.

During his show on Saturday, June 22 at Chicago’s United Center, the Grammy winner thanked both new and longtime fans, and “the love of what is almost three decades together.”

“This [tour] is just something that keeps watching over me, more so on this tour than any other,” Timberlake said. “And that’s that mostly all of us here in this room tonight, in this arena tonight, have grown up together. So many of you come up to me and say, ‘I grew up with you, man.'”

“… I want each and every one of you to know I’ve grown up with you,” he continued. “You have been such a big and beautiful part of my life and sometimes I can’t find the words to show my gratitude that you guys just keep riding with me and riding with me.”

The evening before, on June 21, Timberlake had taken the stage at the same arena in Chicago to perform his first show since the arrest, telling the crowd, “It’s been a tough week.”

“I know sometimes I’m hard to love but you keep on loving me and I love you right back,” he added.
