Count pop star and actor Justin Timberlake among those celebrating the ouster of Donald Sterling as owner of the Clippers.

Timberlake, who was performing at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday (the same day former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer officially took over as Clippers owner), gave a parting shot to Sterling from the Clippers home court.

"No more Donald Sterling in this [building]!" Timberlake yelled to his many fans who filled the venue for the final U.S. show of his The 20/20 Experience World Tour.

The declaration was met with "thunderous applause" from the crowd, just before a cover of Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel," according to Yahoo.

This was not Timberlake's first Sterling diss in public.

In May, Timberlake took a shot at Sterling during the Billboard Music Awards, thanking "everyone on Earth, except Donald Sterling" during a pretaped message while accepting a Top Artist award. Oh, and it was on national TV.

Ballmer purchased the Clippers for $2 billion. Sterling was banned for life from the NBA after he was heard in a leaked recording making racist remarks about African Americans.
