Timbaland accused Lifetime of disrespecting Aaliyah with their new biopic

Timbaland has accused Lifetime executives of 'disrespecting' Aaliyah with their new biopic.

The music producer worked closely with the late R&B singer before her tragic 2001 death.

He's made his displeasure about a new project at the US network known.

And in a series of Instagram posts at the weekend, Timbaland took to task those responsible for producing Aaliyah: The Princess Of R&B, starring Alexandra Shipp in the title role.

'Lifetime disrespects Aaliyah,' read an image posted on the photo-sharing app Sunday.

The post came a few hours after Timbaland promised Lifetime would have to 'deal with the consequences' of releasing the film Saturday evening.

'This is why people should never remake movies. Bullsh*t happens. Bullsh*t happens,' he said in a video post on Instagram. 'Now you have to deal with the consequences.'

'People! Thanks for the comments tonight on that bullsh*t Aaliyah movie. They have felt Timbos wrath tonight baby. And that's it,' he promised in another clip.

'This sh*t has been funny tonight. Very funny ya'll,' he added, admitting he wouldn't be watching the movie.

'A lot of people keep asking me if I'm watching that bullsh*t. Evidently not. No way. Not Timbo,' he said.

Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash in The Bahamas after filming the music video for Rock the Boat.

She was 22.
