Controversy
An initial dispute between Timbaland and Ginuwine dates back to October 2009,when Timbaland expressed disinterest in appearing in the "Get Involved" music video. [1] In April 2010,Ginuwine told Vibe :"He really hasn’t been interested in working with me,so I can’t speak on the present [...] The reason I'm pissed off at him now is because of what he did. I would've been cool and not bothered him if he would've said,'Nah,I'm too busy,' or gave me the lame excuse like he's been giving me. But don't do it and then not do what you're supposed to do [to promote the song]." [10] Ginuwine later disclosed to the Atlanta radio station WAMJ that a settlement of over $50,000 was made for Timbaland to appear in the video. However,because of Timbaland's persistent disinterest,the single was shelved in the United States and was instead released overseas with an animated music video. [1] In July 2011,Timbaland responded to Ginuwine's comments via BET.com,"I know how he might feel. He might think that we abandoned him [...] We never would abandon him. He’s like a brother. But when you get everybody else,mix different managers... it changes every dynamic." [11] Timbaland also added that he wanted to work with Ginuwine for the sake of their friendship and brotherhood. [11] That same month,Ginuwine told MTV UK that he and Timbaland were cool and that they would converse at times via Twitter. [12] He also added that a song with him,Missy and Timbaland would "hopefully" develop to show the "magic" they once had. [12]
