Jay-Z revealed ego caused him and Timbaland to part ways. “The fall out happened at the end of that album… A couple of songs were getting leaked and they were his songs, and it just ruined the whole process,” Jay-Z told BBC Radio 1 (via NME). “Kanye, who was executive producer of The Blueprint 3 was like, let’s get Tim, let’s bring Tim in, and we were all inviting of him and he just wasn’t accepting of the process. It seemed like it was more about him than the actual album.”
“When you go and make an album, you have to put all ego aside… he wasn’t accepting of that thing and that was almost the last straw type of thing, and we just went our separate ways,” he continued. “After those concerts and he came back, I’d seen a new Timbaland, he had this maturity and this growth and I was like, ‘Oh, ok, this is gonna work out’,” Jay-Z revealed. “It was over petty stuff,” Timbaland said in an interview with Revolt. “It was more personal and I was wrong. I was wrong. When I was working with Justin [Timberlake], he sent me a text. ‘We need to talk. We need to hook back up.’”
When Timbaland and Jay-Z would officially meet after their falling out, it was a touching moment between the two. “We looked at each other and just gave each other a hug,” he continued. “He was like, ‘What you been doing, man?’ ‘Man,’ I said, ‘I’m right. I’m back. I got my mind right.’ He said, ‘You look totally different.’ I was like, ‘I get it now. I understand life a little more.’” “I felt like, ‘What in the world? Who is trying to sabotage our friendship?’ ” Timbaland told MTV News. “That bothers me. I respect my friends, because I don’t got a lot of them, and he’s one of my friends in the music industry. I felt like, ‘I’ll remove myself. If people wanna play us against each other, I’ll bow out.’”
