Bo Jackson has a message for Justin Timberlake.

The former football and baseball star took to social media on Thursday to show his support for the singer and artist.

“Hey Justin Timberlake, cheer up bro,” posted the former Auburn Heisman Trophy winner. “Don’t let them see you sweat!”

Timberlake was charged with drunken driving in New York’s Hamptons early Tuesday morning after he ignored a stop sign and left his lane, according to police.

According to a court document, the artist was driving a 2025 BMW in Sag Harbor around 12:30 a.m. when an officer stopped him and found him to be intoxicated.

“His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, ​​his breath smelled strongly of alcohol, he could not divide his attention, his speech was slowed, he was unsteady on his feet, and he performed poorly on all standardized sobriety tests,” court documents say.

Timberlake, 43, told the officer he had been drinking a martini and was following some friends home, the documents say. After he was arrested and taken to a police station in nearby East Hampton, he refused a breathalyzer test, according to court documents, which listed his occupation as “professional” and described him as “self-employed.”

The 10-time Grammy winner was released without bail Tuesday morning following his arraignment in Sag Harbor. He was charged with drunken driving and his next court date is set for July 26, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said.
