Timbaland Gets into German Bar Fight

Just a Beat Maker, Beating Someone Up

According to TMZ.com, rapper and producer Timbaland was arrested in Cologne, Germany last night after a brawl outside of the Hotel. It's reported that the artist got into a very heated disagreement with another guest at roughly 11:30PM, allegedly due to the fact that he flirted with the other man's girlfriend. A rule of thumb that R. Kelly once said: "As soon as I hit the club I'ma flirt." Whether Tim did eyeball his girl or not, the simple fact of the matter is alcohol, hip hop stars, and common folk don't mix. Hide your girlfriends fellas, celebrity rappers are looking for the next Melissa Ford and Vida.

The scruffle, outside of the Hotel Intercontinental, became violent after the 29 year old man Robert F. allegedly called Timbaland a racial slur. Now this is were it gets ugly. Being rich, means there is no such thing as having consequences. Hip Hop artists, along with other musicians, don't have to wake up early the next morning to go to work. They can party, do drugs, fight, call women sexist names and still get paid for it. So what's it to a rapper to slap an average Joe off a bar stool? Not much, apparently it's only $1000.

Tim's entourage supposedly joined the brawl and the man was taken to the hospital. Timbaland's latest album, "Shock Therapy" received poor ratings just like every other time he has attempted to get of the keyboard and pick up a microphone. Maybe beating up a German commoner was ironically his 'shock therapy.'

Timbaland was arrested and questioned for about an hour, and he was then released early that morning on $1,000 bail. This is a classic attempt of Timbaland trying to reach Akon status. Look out Tyson, here comes Sugar Shane Mosley.
