Bryson Tiller Says Timbaland Had Him Quit His Job Then Abandoned Him

Bryson Tiller's 2015 debut album "T R A P S O U L" went on to create an entire new lane for artists While discussing his career trajectory on the "New Rory & MAL" podcast, Tiller says Timbaland was so impressed with his 2015 single, "Don't," the superproducer urged him to quit his job and fly down to Miami to "get to work" presumably as a signed artist. Bryson says he banged out "T R A P S O U L" heaters like "Sorry Not Sorry" and "Been That Way" but Timbaland was left unimpressed and Bryson was sent back home to Kentucky. When the money advance Timbaland gave Bryson began to dwindle, the R&B star says he reached out to get clarity on his deal situation only to learn Timbaland was claiming he never told him to quit his job Timbaland gave his side to The Shade Room on Tuesday, after he says Tiller tipped him off that Rory & Mal had edited his interview to be salacious. Timbaland says he's still happy things worked out for Bryson, though. "T R A P S O U L" went on to go 3x Platinum, while "Sorry Not Sorry" and "Been That Way" both have over 100 million streams on Spotify alone.
