It all started when Timbaland posted a photo on his Instagram account with the caption “Hope yall not watching this!!!!!!!!.” He was referring to Lifetime’s TV film “Aaliyah: Princess Of R&B,” but if you were watching social media Saturday, you already know this. Twitter and Instagram reacted in memes that Timb reposted, on his account, to express his disdain for the flick.
Timbaland produced Aaliyah’s second album “One In A Million,” so understandably, he was pissed with the production that seemed questionable from the start. Not to mention, he was secretly in love with her. Timb called into Hot 97 this morning, to open up about the movie and how he feels his emotions got the best of him.
“This is how ya’ll gon’ really do it? Ya’ll really going to put this out? I couldn’t believe it. I always thought it was a rumor,” he said.
Listen to it, below:
In related news,
Wendy Williams, executive producer of the film, said this on her show today,
“I see my Aaliyah movie broke the internet this weekend. E’rybody got an opinion. Well I must tell you. Whether you loved or hate, you watched. It was the second highest rated movie on all of cable this year so far. Not just Lifetime. But all of cable! Thank you. And by the way, you Alexandra Shipp, did a terrific job as Aaliyah.”
Chile, boo.
UP NEXT: Apollo Apologizes For Lying
Apollo Apologizes To Kenya Moore
After carrying on the same act for some seasons now, Apollo Nida decided to close up a few loose ends before his prison bid and fessed up to lying about Kenya Moore trying to give him fellatio, on last night’s episode of “Real Housewives Of Atlanta.” In addition, he admitted that they did not see each other in L.A. Well, well, well.
Not only did Apollo make himself look foolish, he didn’t even give Phaedra the heads up before doing it. This is exactly the kind of behavior that will make your wife skip out on your court date. Sigh.
“I apologize to you. It was a lie,” Apollo told Kenya to which she replied, “You don’t get what I’ve been through because of the things you said to your wife,” Kenya Moore. “She [said] I did these things, and they believed it. I’ve never been anyone’s whore.”
In an attempt to get the whole truth, Kenya press Apollo further. “Have I ever seen you in L.A.?,” she asked. “Kenya, you’ve never seen me in L.A.,” admitted Nida. “I know where I’m going, and I need my slate to be clear,” Apollo replied.
Phaedra is going to be pissed! Do you think she owes Kenya as apology?
