CAP IT OFF: Pop star Justin Timberlake says he started the trucker cap craze, not Ashton Kutcher.

Pop star Justin Timberlake has slammed Ashton Kutcher for stealing his style credit for the trucker cap.

The 27-year-old singer insists he should be recognised for making trucker caps fashionable because he started wearing them long before What Happens In Vegas star Ashton.

Justin said: "It's funny, I keep hearing Ashton Kutcher say how he was responsible for trucker caps. Me and my friend Trace Ayala were wearing them when we were 17."

Although Justin likes experimenting with different styles, he doesn't see himself as a trendsetter.

He added: "Honestly, I don't walk out of my house thinking, man, I hope somebody thinks this looks cool!'

"There's some stuff I wear that people think is not cool."

Justin - who launched the William Rast denim line with pal Trace in 2005 - also revealed he has designed a new collection with Swedish fashion designer Johan Lindeberg.

He explained: "It is Southern heritage meets forward European innovation. I don't want to be Mr 'SexyBack' forever."

Justin is set to perform at the Fashion Rocks concert - which celebrates the relationship between fashion and music - at New York's Radio City Music Hall on September 5.

Beyonce Knowles, Mariah Carey, Keith Urban, the Pussycat Dolls and Timbaland are also scheduled to appear.

hmmm my guess is that the person who invented the trucker cap may have a bit to do with its popularity, not a falsetto singing mouseketeer :D lol he's got nothing better to do, and neither has the other bloke

The first signs of clothes were found in Russia around 30'000 bc so I guess the russians invented clothes! lol

Ed Templeton, a skateboarder, was the first guy to start wearing trucker caps other than truckers. That's where it first took off and that was in the 90's. I think he's even given up on them now too.

It's hilarious how so many people paste comments along the thread of "Who cares?!" and "What a stupid article!" I think that says more about them than what they think about the article.

It was Timberlake.
