Keri Hilson calls out Timbaland on “You Lied, You Cheated,” the fifth installment in his Timbaland Thursdays series. “You lied, you cheated, and you ain’t got one good reason/ Watch your back and I mean it,” warns a heated Miss Keri, who kicks her man to the curb, while Timbo offers the male perspective. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

MCs picking a day of the week to chuck out free tunes via Twitter is becoming the norm, but today Timbland offered up a standout jam for his “Timbaland Thursdays” in the form of the Brandy-featuring “808.” Granted, the former Dancing With The Stars contestant essentially doesn’t get to vocally show off until the end of the track—save for a loop of her intoning the song’s title throughout—but we’re digging the beat on this one. Listen below.

“And when the music’s gone and there’s no more songs, no more songs / And when the snare is gone and that hi-hat’s gone, I still got 808,” Timbaland sings on the boastful tune with his trademark layered vocals.

Later Brandy adds, “I’m like the bass in the trunk, if you want I can ride the wave / Baby just tell me where you’re at and I’m on my way.”

Kanye has G.O.O.D. Fridays on lock, Swizz Beatz has claimed Monster Mondays, and now Timbaland wants a piece of the action.


Following in the footsteps of his music industry peers, the super-producer revealed that he may be releasing his own free music on Thursdays.

“So my brother told me kanye is puttin out a new song every friday call good fridays, swizz got mondays,” said Timbo, who recently joined Twitter. “I dont know if they are on twitter but can you hit them up and tell them reserve that thursday for timbo da king baby. We’ll call it timbo thursday cool?”

While we await the music maestro’s first offering, fans will be happy to know that he is finishing up his next album Shock Value III. Watch a new clip of him in the studio below.

Don't worry about Timbaland – he never tried to take his own life.

"I don't even know what happened, to be honest," the rapper-producer (real name: Timothy Mosley) told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Wednesday, after reports that he tried to commit suicide surfaced online. "I don't know what people are talking about. Why would I commit suicide?"

Earlier Wednesday, news broke that Timbaland, 39, fled his house and wanted to harm himself after someone reportedly stole a $2 million watch from his collection.

"Something did happen," he told Seacrest, confirming that he was robbed. "It wasn't a watch [that was stolen]. It was something else." And, Timbaland says, he "took a drive to figure out how I'm going to handle it," while somebody close to him reportedly called the authorities, concerned about his well-being.

According to the Malibu Lost Hills Sherriff's Department, a caller indicated they "had an emergency," that Timbaland was upset and under stress – and that he left his Malibu house in his Cadillac Escalade. Authorities added that his wife, mother-in-law and friends were unable to find him and were under the impression he had taken some medication before driving off.

Telling Seacrest that those closest to him likely feared for his safety because they hadn't heard from him, the rapper-producer understands that "people got worried." When police tracked him down on the Pacific Coast Highway, he recognized the officer and assured him that everything was fine after being told of his family's concern.

"I snapped," he told Seacrest. "I was like, 'Who would report something like that?' "

Amid all the drama, Timbaland returned to the studio Wednesday to record with Keri Hilson. Said Timbaland: "I don't know a person who would [try to] commit suicide [and then] be at the studio."

It was far from a silent night at Y100’s Jingle Ball 2009 as Timbaland and Brandy electrified the stage with their Shock Value II collaboration “Meet in tha Middle” at Fort Lauderdale’s Bank Atlantic Center on Saturday (Dec. 12). The holiday concert also featured performances from JoJo, Shakira, Flo Rida, Jordin Sparks, Iyaz, and more.

Timbaland was stuck in the middle of JoJo and Brandy at the release party for Shock Value II at LIV nightclub at Fontainebleau Miami Beach on Saturday (Dec. 5). Timb performed “Meet in tha Middle” with Brandy aka Bran’Nu and “Lose Control” with new Interscope Records signee JoJo. Serena Williams, Fat Joe, Travis McCoy, and Russell Simmons enjoyed the show.
