Justin Timberlake hits back at Kanye West

Los Angeles - Justin Timberlake hit back at Kanye West on Saturday Night Live.

The Suit & Tie singer - whose song with Jay-Z was slammed by the All of the Lights rapper in an expletive-laden diatribe last month - dismissed Kanye's insults while performing the song on the comedy sketch show on Saturday and implied he is just jealous.

The 32-year-old singer changed the lyrics of the song from "Aww, shit so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit" to "my hit's so sick got rappers acting dramatic".

Rave reviews

Kanye - who is expecting his first child with girlfriend Kim Kardashian in early July - hit out at Justin, who collaborated with his Watch the Throne partner on the track, during his intimate gig at London's Hammersmith Apollo last month.

He told the crowd: "I've got love for Hov but I'm not down with that suit and tie shit."

Justin won rave reviews for hosting SNL for the fifth time last night, which included cameos from Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, and Martin Short.
