Timbaland’s wife files for divorce & wants that money!
Timbaland’s wife has filed for divorce, TMZ has learned … and she’s not only demanding that he foot the bill for their kid, she wants him to pay for a kid he didn’t even father.
Monique Mosley says in her divorce docs – obtained by TMZ – that although she and Timbaland have been married for 5 years, they’ve been a couple for twice that time. In addition to their 5-year-old daughter, Monique has a 10-year-old from another relationship.
So why, you ask, is she asking for child support for both kids? Monique says Timbaland is the daddy by default, since he’s “publicly and privately proclaimed this child as his own.”
But that’s not all. TMZ reports, Monique wants alimony, life insurance, private school, vacations, summer camp and other expenses. She says she’s so strapped for cash, she had to borrow money from a friend to pay her lawyer. She wants Timbaland – who’s worth around $80 mil – to foot the lawyer’s bill.
One more thing. She wants to get Timbaland coming and going. According to TMZ, in the alimony department, she says she wants money while divorce proceedings are pending, she wants a lump sum, she wants “rehabilitative alimony,” and permanent alimony.
Timbaland Talks New Michael Jackson Project
It’s official! Timbaland is working on a posthumous Michael Jackson album. According to the veteran hitmaker, the secret project promises to be the one that will complete his producing legacy.
In an exclusive Revolt TV interview, Timbo reveals that he was approached by Epic Records honcho L.A. Reid to rework MJ’s previously-unreleased material for the album.
“L.A. Reid came to my house and said, ‘I got something big I want you to do,” he recalls. “How would you feel about doing Michael Jackson’s [next project]?’ I said, ‘Of course I’d do it. It would complete my legacy.”
Timbaland believes that the first single from the album will be called ‘Chicago.’ “I think this song should be the first [single] because ‘Chicago’ sounds like today,” he attests.
The Timbo-Jackson collabo follows behind previous posthumous albums including ‘This Is It’ in 2009, and ‘Michael’ in 2010. If the project becomes a huge success, Timbaland can add his name alongside production maestros Quincy Jones and Teddy Riley, who were behind some of Michael’s biggest-selling albums.
Surprisingly, Timbaland once had a chat with the King of Pop before his untimely death in June 2009. “He was like, ‘I like your stuff, you’re good.’ I was like, ‘You’re good too,’” he recalls. “The same thing with[Notorious] B.I.G., me and him was supposed to work and then he got shot the day before my birthday.”
He wouldn’t divulge on how he updated the late singer’s lost recordings, but promises that it will be different from the usual MJ mash-ups.
“You got to be a true Michael Jackson fan to appreciate what I’m about to do,” he states. “Now after I do Michael Jackson, I will be the man.”
So after working with some of the biggest artists in the game, both dead and alive, who’s next?
“I’ve done every one known to man,” says Tim. “The only person I would have to do next is Prince.”
