Timbaland Discusses Crushing on Aaliyah, Suicidal Thoughts & More

December 16, 2011

Link

Timbaland is making some shocking revelations to E! in his True Hollywood special.

The super-producer, born Timothy Mosley, opens about building the careers of superstars Justin Timberlake and Missy Elliott, suicidal thoughts, and secret love for Aaliyah.

On Aaliyah: “When I first met Aaliyah—it’s time for the world to hear this, I’m gonna give up a little secret—I was in love with her. I said, But I’m not… She just a baby, I’m old. I said to myself, ‘I’m just gonna be her brother.’ Oh man, I was fightin’, I was fightin’ a lot—a big war. But I loved Aaliyah.”

On Justin Timberlake: “Me and Justin, it’s the weirdest thing. We just say we’re gonna kill them and then we kill them…We get together, we break bread and we spill out music. That’s what we do.”

On Missy Elliott: “She was just super dope…she was God-sent; that was my sister.”

On his weight gain: “I was almost 400 pounds. Who wants to be a 400-pound black man? I’m looking in the mirror, my breast is bigger than a girl breast. And I was saying, ‘That ain’t cool.’ So I got very depressed, like suicidal depressed.”

On his marriage to wife Monique: “It’s probably hard to be married to me. It’s not easy. I’m a musical genius. I’m weird, I do crazy things, it’s not like the average norm. But I’m a loving guy.”

True Hollywood Story: Timbaland airs Tuesday, Dec 20 at 9 p.m. ET on E!

I'm glad Timbaland didn't hit that @ Aaliyah because she was still underage when they started working lol plus he was probably in a relationship (or married) anyways.

Truly humble rooted :lol:

I love him though and feel Aaliyah was his muse, and the love didn't have to necessarily be like that. I heard he couldn't write well for years after her death or feel motivated...and I know that feeling when you feel the rugs been pulled from under you

Calling himself a weird genius though? You don't have to say it if you truly are, though I agree he's great

Her being underage wasn't much of a deterrent for R. Kelly. confused

I would've kicked his ass all over Chicago if she'd been my daughter.

Gotta love Tim. I used to have a big crush on him back in the late 90's when I was in high school. But is he getting big again? confuse

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Pleaseeee. lol

I'm positive Tim did try to get with Aaliyah but was most likely turned down.

He admits to having a crush on her but he was saying that she was like a "little sister" to him not too long ago. Rejected.

Oh and Tim isn't a musical genius. He needs some humble pie but he'd probably eat the whole thing. lol

Im not really sure, and now obviously no one will ever really know, R can say what he wants but without aaliyah its always going to be "his words" so a one sided story is worth as much as the music business is right now, and hearing his side after other things i have heard from him, i dont care to hear him on that subject, its buried so to speak.

The rumours were a marriage, and then a quick annullment, but to me that requires paperwork of some sort and SOMEONE would have sold that shit out years ago. So i think they were most likely just "together" and the family didnt want it obviously, i mean i dont remember if R was married at the time, but he was quite a bit older, and still, she was a minor technically, so regardless of "Age aint nothing but a number" not of legal age blasts that theory without any question or excuses

Timbaland says:

"My breast bigger than a girl breast."

Made me cringe. But I'm hoping those are typos.

Otherwise, dude might be enrolled in a Steve Harvey Ebonics course.

I feel naive for saying what I did cause I always saw it as innocent all these years.

Robert married that girl. I recall seeing either the marriage certificate or the annullment doc on some documentary years ago. Once her parents found out about it they ordered her to get the annullment. I remember thinking to myself, "Yep, he's a perv."

Same here. I didn't believe it at first until I saw that document.

Entertainment Weekly published the marriage license in their article on Aaliyah after she died. I saw it-it was issued in Cook County, IL. I remember being shocked cause mainstream publications don't usually get in black people's business like that

It's one thing to be confident and it's another to be full of yourself.
