Timbaland Says Britney Spears Dissed Him And Justin Timberlake Tells Her To Apologize

Say what you will about the outcome, Britney Spears’ VMA performance was one of the most-anticipated ones in years. But think how much bigger it would have been had it been billed as Spears taking the stage with former flame Justin Timberlake to perform together. Huge, right? Well, Timbaland — who claims to have nearly collaborated with the singer in the past — says Brit has quashed any chance of a JT collabo taking place anytime soon.

The super-producer told MTV News during VMA weekend that a prospective team-up between the two would be “the best thing that ever happened” and would “help her out a whole lot.” But he then dismissed the possibility, saying in so many words that Brit has become big-headed and had dissed him and Justin. “It’ll never happen. Nah. It could’ve, but it won’t.”

Timbaland previously said he got close to working with the singer, telling Entertainment Weekly in March, “I just want to take her away, go overseas and work [it] out. … I asked Justin, ‘How would you feel about me working with Britney?’ … ‘Would you do it with me?’ ” Timbaland told the magazine that JT was willing to get involved at the time. “She’s just gotta be serious.”

Now Timbo has even more advice to give her about getting her career back on track. “She needs a story,” he said. “She has no comeback story. That’s the problem. She has to have a team. She needs to come back with Justin doing records; [then we’d see headlines like,] ‘She went back to her ex and she’s making smashes.’ [But instead she got] so big-headed and [was] like, ‘Screw you, screw you, I don’t need nobody.’ ”

So is there any chance for Spears to rectify the situation and possibly work with Timberlake and Timbaland? Yes, says the super-producer — if she apologizes.

“She should humble herself and make a phone call and say, ‘I’m sorry.’ She knows what she’s sorry about,” Tim said. “She needs to say, ‘I was wrong,’ and it’ll definitely move forward. … That’s all she has to say.”

  • Hmmm, seems like Timberland is pretty bigheaded too. I mean he thinks it will be the best thing ever for her to work with him, and will just have one wonderhit after the other. Sounds to me like hes pride got hurt when she turned him down. And now...
