Overview

• In a New Rory & MAL podcast released this week, Bryson Tiller says Timbaland heard his breakout song "Don't," encouraged him to quit his job, and invited him to Miami to work.
• Tiller recounts recording songs that became TRAPSOUL, including "Sorry Not Sorry" and "Been That Way," which he says Timbaland dismissed in favor of more tracks like "Don't."
• He says he received cash as an advance, saw it dwindle, and later heard Timbaland deny telling him to leave his job before communication ceased.
• TMZ reports Timbaland told The Shade Room the interview was edited to be salacious and that his focus at the time was on other projects, citing his work developing Tink.
• Coverage notes Tiller's later success with TRAPSOUL as outlets highlight the conflicting narratives and the lack of resolution between the two accounts.
