Rumors have been circulating all over the Internet for weeks since Drake announced he would be executive producing Aaliyah’s album weather Missy Elliot and Timbaland would be involved. Missy’s longtime manager Mona-Scott Young has released a statement on their behalf:

 

“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. 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 added,

“Tim and I carry Aaliyah with us everyday, like so many of the people who love her. She will always live in our hearts. 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.”

Do you think Drake can do a successful Aaliyah album without Missy & Timbaland?
