Some are recalling Timbaland’s 2011 revelation that he was ‘in love’ with 16-year-old Aaliyah and that he knew he was going to marry his wife ‘because she looked like’ the late R&B singer.

Aaliyah was drop dead gorgeous w/ no parental supervision. THATS why them niggas were obsessed with her. She wasn’t a unicorn or “special”. She was a child that they could groom into being their trophy wife. Wasnt a SINGLE person around her that genuinely wanted the best for her

People are so upset about Reid's tweets about Aaliyah but it's true. A lot of the men around her never allowed her to be a child/teen. And I don't care how "normalized" you believe those age gaps were in the 90s. They were predators.

When I heard timberland basically say he married his wife because he was in love with Aaliyah and she reminded him of her, or looked like her, or something like that I GAGGED!!! And as far as I know nobody had any reaction! She was 16 when they met 🤮
