'NSYNC' reunited at the 2023 MTV Awards sparking hope from fans for a reunion tour.
"Without Justin, there's no comeback, no tour, no money," a source dished to the National Enquirer. "Only a fool would think the group should split everything five ways. Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, and Joey Fantone have had little success on their own, so it makes sense that Justin get more."
Timberlake has been accused of standing between his former boy band members and a reunion tour before.

Sources told the outlet that Timberlake sought as much as 80% of the potential net profits should the band decide to take on a tour.
RadarOnline.com has reached out to Timberlake's rep for comment.
Though talk of the group getting back together was reinvigorated by their recent award show reunion, it wasn't the first time in recent years that NSYNC has floated the idea of serenading fans with their classic hits.
It also wasn't the first time Timberlake was accused of being the roadblock between an NSYNC revival and fans. An insider previously claimed that "Lance Bass and the other guys in the group would love to have a reunion tour and record new music but Justin is the one stopping it."
Timberlake's solo success reportedly factored into his demands for more money than his musical counterparts.
At the time, the source said Timberlake had "worked so hard to establish himself as a solo artist" and the singer had "no interest in going back into the past."
"If the guys want to do it without him, they are welcome, but Justin will not be part of it," the insider said at the time.
The band first reunited in 2017 to commemorate their star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. While the cameo of the members back together sparked similar feelings as today, fans were disappointed when the group ultimately failed to tour.
