Justin Timberlake covers up in a longer shirt on stage after Bulge went viral

Justin Timberlakesays bye, bye, bye to fans eyeing his bulge… as he covered up with a longer T-shirt on stage after his unfortunate wardobe defect.

The singer-songwriter took the stage in Kansas City at the T-Mobile Center on Friday night as part of the “Forget Tomorrow” world tour … delivering “Mirrors” in the same armor he wore in Nashville — with one big difference.

This time, Timberlake donned a much longer top, hiding his crotch from view… so no one in KC caught a glimpse of Lil Justin.

Check out the clip… Justin moves around the stage in his armor, but the longer hem of his shirt covers him perfectly so there’s nothing dangling towards the audience.

This is very different the Nashville show earlier this month … where JT fans saw way too much of the star’s downstairs.

Remember, several fans took videos of the star, posted them on social media, and specifically focused on the size of his package.

Many fans weren’t particularly kind to Justin in the aftermath… and it seems he was well aware of all the abuse he was receiving online.
