Timbaland & Missy Elliot Not Going To Participate In New Aaliyah Posthumous Album, Rep Says
Ever since it was announced that Drake would be involved in the production of Aaliyah's second posthumous album there has been speculation as to whether the late singer's long time friends Missy Elliot and Timbaland would also participate.
Several days ago Jomo Hankerson, Co-Executive of Aaliyah's label Blackground Recordings told Billboard.biz that Missy and Timbaland would "definitely be involved." It now appears that won't be the case.
In a new statement issued to Billboard, Missy's manager says neither she or Timbaland will be working on the album.
"Although Missy and Timbaland always strive to keep the memory of their close friend alive, we have not been contacted about the project nor are there any plans at this time to participate," Mona Scott-Young, longtime manager for Missy Elliott, says. "We've seen the reports surfacing that they have been confirmed to participate but that is not the case. Both Missy and Timbaland are very sensitive to the loss still being felt by the family so we wanted to clear up any misinformation being circulated."
Missy also shared her thoughts on the situation.
"Tim and I carry Aaliyah with us everyday, like so many of the people who love her. She will always live in our hearts," Missy said. "We have nothing but love and respect for her memory and for her loved ones left behind still grieving her loss. They are always in our prayers."

I can respect that Drake liked Aaliyah and her music she was a beautiful and talented singer. Aaliyah will always live on through her music. I think Missy and Tim are doing the right thing by not participating with the album. They were close and loved her very much and her memory will always live on with them and everyone who liked and loved her. RIP Aaliyah an angel gone too soon.

I wont be buying it. The song that was put out sounds unfinished and thrown together. Tim and Missy brought the best out of Aaliyah... I would have rather heard R. Kelly producing it, than Drake. At least the production would have been good. Trying to make money off someone who didn't even know you exist. It just doesn't look good. I respect Tim and Missy for their decision. R.I.P. Aaliyah

I don't get it. Without Missy and Timbo's input it's even less of an Aaliyah album then it already is. "Enough Said" doesn't even sound like an Aaliyah song "featuring Drake", it's just another Drake song, so obviously produced by 40, with an Aaliyah sample on it, I'm just saying.

Drake said, anyone close to Aaliyah was welcome to help with the album, its not like he said they can't. Seems the media is out to make Drake look like the bad guy here.
