Have stranger words ever been tweeted? Brother Ali reported on his Twitter account today that a beatboxing Justin Timberlake crashed the Minneapolis rapper's set last night in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. In the rush of things, Ali didn't recognize the pop star's famous face and proceeded to snatch the microphone from Timberlake (Ali tweeted). After finishing his song, Ali's DJ, BK-One, told him, "that was Justin Timberlake" (he tweeted again).

Ali says he brought JT back on stage, where the two freestyled and beatboxed for 15 minutes. In Ali's tweeted words: "sorry JT. Thanks for rockin with us."

Sounds too crazy to be true? Here's some supporting video (poor quality):
