Questlove Says ‘Challenge Accepted’ To Justin Timberlake

Ice buckets baby!

Judging by Questlove‘s Instagram, The Roots are cold chillin’ after accepting and completing Justin Timberlake‘s ALS Ice Bucket challenge.

“Hey Timberlake $&€%¥+%%!!!! @justintimberlake @jtimberlake #ALSIceBucketChallenge,” wrote Quest in the caption of his photo of an emptied orange bucket with the words “Let’s Do This” on it.

The pop star nominated the legendary Philly rap band, along with good friend Jimmy Fallon and Steve Higgins after he and his back-up band, The Tennessee Kids, finished their own.

“I’m going to pass this on and challenge Jimmy Fallon, Steve Higgins and The Roots from ‘Fallon Tonight,’ ” he said before later adding after he poured the ice-cold bucket over his head. “You have 24 hours to respond.”

JT was originally challenged by Patrick Downes and Jessica Kensky, who were both injured in the Boston Marathon bombings last year. The “What Goes Around… Comes Around” singer had 24 hours to pour a bucket of ice-cold water over his head or donate at least $100 to the ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) Foundation, which raises awareness for Lou Gehrig’s disease.

“We did both,” JT said. “And then we donated a bunch more. It’s such a good cause.”

No words on whether Fallon and Higgins were in on the same ice water bath.
