She was like blood, and I lost blood. Me and her together had this
chemistry. I kinda lost half of my creativity to her. It's hard for me
to talk to the fans now. Beyond the music, she was a brilliant person,
the [most special] person I ever met.[20]

The tension initially started on the single "Give It to Me", when Timbaland anonymously backlashed Storch: "I'm a real producer and you['re] just the piano man". In an interview, Timbaland confirmed that he was talking about Storch. The dispute partly stemmed from controversy regarding writing credits for Timberlake's "Cry Me a River".[39]
