10 years after the tragic death of Aaliyah, Timbaland has decided to share a secret for the first time, revealing that he "fell in love" with her when they met.
The producer worked extensively with Aaliyah throughout her career
and has been credited with propelling her to stardom with his trademark
beats. However, Tim says his feelings for Aaliyah ran deeper than just
platonic friendship.
"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," he revealed on True
Hollywood Story.
He added: "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."
Tim was not the only musician who fell in love with the stunning
songstress - it has been rumoured that R. Kelly married Aaliyah when she
was just 15-years-old, but neither publically addressed the claims.
Aaliyah tragically died at the age of 21 in an airplane crash in 2001.
Timbaland's True Hollywood Story airs on E! on Tuesday in the US.
