Aaliyah

While not everyone is thrilled with the prospect of Drake executive producing the posthumous Aaliyah project, Lil Wayne has told the Associated Press (via RollingStone.com) that it's going to be an "awesome collaboration."

Missy Elliott cherishes her musical bond with the late Aaliyah. She, along with producer Timbaland, created memorable chart-topping hits with the late songbird. While most fans remembered Aaliyah for her music, Missy remembers her as always being a comedian who "wanted to laugh."

So is there a posthumous Aaliyah project in the works? No one seems to know, not even Missy Elliott or Timbaland. The hit-making duo appeared on Power 105's The Breakfast Club Tuesday morning (Sept. 18) to set the record straight on their involvement with the supposed album.

DMX is mad as Hell at Drake -- and it's over an angel. X revealed his beef with Drizzy doesn't just rest on what he feels is Drake's "annoying" raps; he's also upset that the Canadian-born MC took the reins on a posthumous Aaliyah record without collaborating with anyone else the late songbird worked with.

Since the announcement that a posthumous Aaliyah album was in the works, the project has been mired in controversy. Recently, the late songbird's label, Blackground Records, went on Twitter and posted the cover art of the album, which has everyone in a tizzy.

Contrary to previous reports, Missy Elliott and Timbaland are not involved in the posthumous Aaliyah album. Missy and Timbo's manager issued a press release (via Billboard), stating they "will not be participating" on the Drake and Noah "40" Shebib executive-produced project.

It seems like everyone knows about the upcoming posthumous Aaliyah album ... except for Missy Elliott. The veteran rapper who has collaborated with the late songbird seems to be out of the loop when it comes to the project that Drake and his producer Noah "40" Shebib are co-executive producing.

It was reported last week that Drake and his longtime producer Noah "40" Shebib were co-executive producing the posthumous Aaliyah project amid some controversy. During an interview with MuchMusic, the Young Money superstar confirmed that an album is in the works.

Ever since it was rumored that Drake is executive producing Aaliyah's posthumous album, fans have been wondering what the late songbird's family thought of this idea. According to Rolling Stone, they don't want no part of it.

After Drake released his Aaliyah duet 'Enough Said' over the Internet, many are still wondering if Timbaland would be involved in the anticipated posthumous album. Well, the answer is yes, Timbo will be working on the project.
