Timberlake Claims He Started the Trucker Hat Trend

Justin Timberlake and Ashton Kutcher

Many people credit Ashton Kutcher with popularizing trucker hats in the early part of this decade, but Justin Timberlake is trying to take credit for the trend.

In the latest issue of Fashion Rocks Magazine, Timberlake says:

It's funny, I keep hearing Ashton Kutcher say how he was responsible for trucker caps. [My friend and I] were wearing them when we were seventeen."

You think you’re so hot, Timberlake, but two can play at that game. I started a little trend of my own back in the day: Snap bracelets. It’s true. I was wearing snap bracelets back in ’87. Mine were made out of copper wire and the hides of stray cats, but the concept was the same. Who’s laughing now, JT? Yeah! I also invented pizza bagels, but that’s neither here nor there.
