Come into the “Name Drop” world and hear the stories behind some of the famous pop culture faces you’ve seen for years as they tell you about their experiences with their other famous friends.

I grew up with these guys as the soundtrack to my teenage days. Yes the fact that you couldn’t be openly be a fan of both. But I was. It made things so much fun!

[@nadinewiezi]

So many ppls from another sides of worlds didnt care about beef, many girls being fan of both group

[@Mira_NY]

I wish all podcasts offered visually

[@collygodbod7012]

It is kinda normal when you think of it. Madonna vs. Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackson vs. Prince, Whitney Houston vs. Mariah Carey or Celine Dion. It is because these acts have similar styles and we're the direct competition to each other. And I know it is true in rock, country, r&b and the other music genres too.

Been a fan of both bsb and nsync since 1997 when i was 20 years old and now im 47 years old and still a fan of both.

I lived in polo south. When I got there, Aj came back from Germany. His apartment with his mom and grandparents was next to the basketball court. I still got the picture we took. Aj had a yellow beamer. My best friend Kyle lived in the same building and his dad Lance use to take pictures of the group.

Lou Pearlman instigated the beef between BSB and *NSYNC, and then TRL took it further. But it's 2024 now, and the beef is finally over 💙🩵🤍💙🩵🤍💙🩵🤍💙🩵🤍💙🩵🤍💙🩵🤍💙🩵🤍💙🩵🤍
