“Yes! This year,” was the 48-year-old’s response, when asked when we can expect the movement to come across our television screens.
As far as the premise for the show, it’s still in the works. “Right now we’re still strategizing,” Timbaland stated.
At the moment, the show doesn’t have a home, as they are still weighing all options.
“Right now, we are weighing all of our options. Making smart moves.”
All battles have been between men, and the digital streets are now requesting for women to be showcased. Timbaland told us that is in the works.
