Now that the three-part docuseries, Surviving R. Kelly has come to an end, the spotlight is being shone on other industry figures who were connected to R. Kelly or similarly involved.
An old episode of E! True Hollywood Story is now making it’s rounds online. In the clip, Timbaland admits that was sexually attracted to a 16 year old Aaliyah, when they first met. He was 23 at the time.
“When I first met Aaliyah—it’s time for the world to hear this, I’m gonna give a little secret—I was in love with her,” Timbaland said in the resurfaced video. “I said, ‘She [is] just a baby, I’m old. I’m just gonna be her brother. Oh man, I was fightin’, I was fightin’ a lot—a big war. But I loved Aaliyah.”
Timbaland also admitted to marrying his first wife because of her striking resemblance to Aaliyah.
“When I first met my wife, I knew I was going to marry her because she looked like Aaliyah,” he said.
