Timbaland posted a series of videos to his Instagram account denouncing Lifetime’s controversial Aaliyah biopic, “Aaliyah: Princess Of R&B” which aired on Saturday night.
“A lot of people keep asking me if I’m watching that bullshit,” Timbaland said in one clip, referring to the Lifetime film about the late R&B singer.
“Evidently not. No way. Not Timbo,” the producer added.
Timbaland posted four videos in total, adding that he hopes the network will “feel his wrath.”

The 42-year-old and longtime friend of Aaliyah also posted several memes mocking the film’s choice of casting, but perhaps his most powerful message was a photo of Aaliyah with a quote about her legacy:

Despite backlash from social media and the singer’s own family, executive producer Debra Martin Chase recently defended “Aaliyah: Princess Of R&B” in a press conference:
“Biopics are hard. People have an opinion and social media allows them to voice that opinion. But at the end of the day, our goal was to make the best movie possible,” Chase said.
