Rumors have recently surfaced that Drake is set to executive produce Aaliyah's posthumous album and that he will premiere his new song featuring the late songbird at Sunday's (Aug. 5) OVO Music Festival in Toronto. In a recent interview with Power 105's The Breakfast Club, Timbaland frowned at the news of a Drake-Aaliyah collaborative song.
After impersonating Lil Wayne and flipping the bird to his ex, Drake also talked about his appreciation for Aaliyah with London radio personality Tim Westwood. It's no secret that Drizzy admires the late songbird who passed away at the age of 22. So much so that he has a tattoo of Aaliyah's face on his back.
Aaliyah may be gone, but she certainly has not been forgotten. It's been 11 years since her untimely death, but now there's news that a posthumous album is in the works featuring unreleased material from the late songbird.
When Timbaland and Aaliyah were in the studio together, they created some of the biggest hits in the late 90s including 'Are You That Somebody,' 'One in a Million' and 'Try Again.' However, Timbo's professional relationship with the late songbird soon turned into infatuation. In a revealing E! True Hollywood Story special, the hitmaker admits that he was in love with Aaliyah.
