Timbaland Spills Secret About Aaliyah: "I Was in Love With Her" - E! Online

I didn't stand in judgment of R.Kelly and I am not gonna stand in judgment of Timbo. Nope.. I mean CLEARLY she had some affect on dudes 'cause they aren't the only ones.. We (folks of color) often kid about white folks on the 'countdown' for the Brittney's, Lindsay's and the Olsens but most dudes I know were OPEN AND HONEST about Ms. Haughton....until R. actually fooled with her. Then it was condemned only when everyone else got offended. I didn't say it was 'right'. I said I am not standing in judgment. It was his 'feeling'. He didn't 'act on it. He kept it real with himself though. You gotta admire that..


"When I first met Aaliyah—it time for the world to hear this, I'm gonna give a little secret—I was in love with her. I said, But I'm not…She just a baby, I'm old," Timbaland says. "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."
He, of course, is referring to Aaliyah Dana Haughton, the soulful singer who signed a deal with Jive Records at age 12 and allegedly married R. Kelly at the age of 15, inspiring the song, "Age Ain't Nothin but a Number."
