Timbaland

Music producer and Miami resident Timbaland is complaining in a lawsuit regarding the nasty entertainment industry practice of blackballing.

He is accusing his label, Blackground Records, of being jealous of his music and opening their book of Hollywood contacts, in an attempt at destroying him, via calling around and trying to get him blacklisted. Hollywood really is disgusting and pathetic.

However, I must state this. I don't know why Timbaland is surprised at any of this. What about when people like crazy Madonna, who you've worked with, put you and other music producers and actors up to contacting people, such as myself, that she is criminally defrauding, harassing, stalking (through commissioned misconduct), blackballing and blacklisting, in violation of the Civil Rights Act. God says in the Bible you reap what you sow.

Timbaland -- Blackground Blackballed Me

Posted Mar 25th 2009 2:15AM by TMZ Staff - This is a story about a recording artist who became a big shot record producer ... so big, his own people allegedly wanted to take him down.

Timbaland is going after his record label, Blackground Records, claiming they didn't utter a peep when he first decided to make his move from "performer" to "producer." But then things got ugly...

In his lawsuit, filed today in Federal District court, Timbaland claims he just got too damn successful as a producer -- and the record label couldn't contain its jealously and hostility for him.

Timbaland alleges Blackground went on a McCarthy-esque search-and-destroy campaign, contacting various record labels and giving them a million reasons why they shouldn't hire Timbaland to produce songs.

To add insult to injury, Timbaland claims Blackground also stiffed him out of serious cash. Now, he wants out of the contract and unspecified damages.
