"When I first met Aaliyah…it's time for the world to hear this…I'm gonna give a little secret, I was in love with her,” Timbaland shares on True Hollywood Story. "I said, 'She’s just a baby, I'm old'. I said to myself, 'I'm just gonna be her brother.’ Oh man, I was fightin', I was fightin' a lot, a big war. But I loved Aaliyah."
