Missys Biopic dealt a severe blow · Jul 18, 06:01 AM by Jason Seib
Missy Elliot’s plans of releasing a biographical movie has hit the rocks after her childhood friend and partner in music Timbaland turned down the offer to be a part of Missy’s project.
Timbaland, a hip-hop and R&B producer, the man who was the creative push behind many of Missy Elliot greatest hit songs, is absolutely sure that his side of the story would be misconstrued by the public once in the hands of script writers looking to dramatize their long long friendship.
Timbaland is qouted saying “I don’t want to be in the movie. For me that movie is all about her. You couldn’t make that movie and put my side of the story in it too. Missy’s life… It’s deeper than a rap story, there’s a lot of parts. I don’t think it’d work if you start putting other people’s stories in too.”
