Justin Timberlake warned a live audience to ‘be careful out there’ – in an eerie occurrence just two nights before his own DWI arrest.
The 43-year-old was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning following a night out with friends in the exclusive Hamptons enclave of Sag Harbor.
He was pulled over after he ran a stop sign while behind the wheel of his BMW X7, according to the police.
Two evenings earlier, he had played a concert of his world tour at the Kaseya Center in Miami, where he paused in between songs to banter with the crowd.
‘How many singles we got out there?’ he teased in footage obtained by TMZ. ‘The night is young! I’m just saying. Be careful out there.’

The clip surfaced after Timberlake’s lawyer broke his silence over the arrest and suggested there is more to the story.
‘Mr. Burke looks forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake on these allegations,’ a statement from attorney Edward Burke’s office said.
‘Mr. Burke will have a lot to say at the appropriate time; he is currently awaiting full discovery from the District Attorney’s office.’
The police officer who stopped Timberlake the night of his arrest was allegedly ‘so young’ that he failed to even recognize the pop star, a source claimed to Page Six.
‘Justin said under his breath: “This is going to ruin the tour.” The cop replied: “What tour?” Justin said: “The world tour,”‘ another insider asserted.
Local officers reportedly followed the pop star and observed him swerving across the road in the small hours of Tuesday morning, forcing cops to pull him over.
Once he had stopped, officers noted that the singer was ‘glassy-eyed’ with a strong odor of alcohol emanating from him, according to a police report.
The father-of-two performed a field sobriety test and was asked to take a breathalyzer test, which he refused.

The ‘Cry Me A River’ hitmaker had reportedly spent a boozy night at the upmarket American Hotel prior to the incident.
A source told DailyMail.com: ‘Justin was out to dinner with friends and there were cop cars stationed outside the restaurant, like there are most nights.
‘They look for people who are leaving after midnight who might have been drinking.’
‘Justin left at 12:30AM and was pulled over as soon as he left. Nobody was hurt and there was no drama at the scene.’
Timberlake was arraigned on one count of DWI and also cited for running a stop sign and for failure to stay in his lane. He is next in court on July 26 after being released without bail.
For refusing the breathalyzer test, Timberlake had his driving privileges in the state of New York suspended.
The pop star has two upcoming shows in Chicago later this week followed by back-to-back nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City next week.
