Kevin Backstreet has spoken out about his feelings of resentment towards their ex-manager, and current 'NSync boss, Louis Pearlman.
The Backstreet Boy admits his anger is not directed at the 'NSync boys themselves but rather the man who put together both bands.
Kevin said: "It's not 'NSync itself but where 'NSync comes from that digs me, digs me, digs me - and gets me, still and to this day.
"Mr Pearlman was always speaking loyalty, and preaching loyalty, saying, 'I love you guys, you're like my sons.' And I'd lost my father to cancer. So I looked at Lou like a father figure.
"But I was naive, and he's a liar. We'll always remember him for helping us get started. But we'll also remember him for screwing us blind and building another group behind our backs."
The Backstreet Boys sued Pearlman during the recording of 1999's multi-platinum 'Millennium' album. They eventually settled out of court with a deal that entitles Pearlman to a staggering one-sixth of all their future earnings.
Meanwhile The Backstreet Boys new album 'Black And Blue' has posted it's second highest weeks sales since release to hold the No.2 spot on the Billboard 200 this week.
