The saga continues: according to a representative for Elliott, the pair will not be part of the Drake/Noah “40” Shebib-produced album.

According to Billboard, a statement by Elliott’s manager Mona Scott-Young says that Missy and Timbaland “have not been contacted about the project nor are there any plans at this time to participate.” She continues: “Both Missy and Timbaland are very sensitive to the loss still being felt by the family so we wanted to clear up any misinformation being circulated.”

This statement contradicts what we reported last week, but this situation will surely continue to develop.
