Timbaland Arrested in German Bar Brawl

Music producer Timbaland was busted by German cops on Sunday who said he and members of his posse sent a bar patron to the hospital.

TMZ obtained photos taken in Cologne, Germany, where Timbaland and his friends allegedly attacked a man outside Hotel Intercontinental late Sunday night after a Justin Timberlake concert. The argument allegedly started when a man named Robert F became visibly upset over his girlfriend talking to Timbaland. According to German reports, Timbaland then attacked the patron, "Robert F," after Robert called him the N word. The fight then moved moved from the lobby bar to the street in front of the hotel.

Timbaland and two others allegedly beat up Robert, which sent him to the hospital by ambulance, and sent Timba to the slammer. Timbaland was released on 750 € (about $1,000) bail early Monday morning. According to cops, the matter is still under investigation.

61. They are what they are! Its time to stop being politically correct. I once again had to leave south beach over memorial day week end because hip hop fest came to town. Have you ever seen the males in this group of people act when they see a 300 lb female walking down collins ave in a g string. They jump out of their rented escelades and try to drag them in their cars and then get pissed when the hos dont want to go. Id be offended if one of these guys tried to talk to my girl to. They act like prisoners who just got out of jail after a 20 year stint

66.
Why are these Americans going to other countries and misbehaving? WE do not care, what should be done. There should be a law against uncouth people, first Akron, now Timberland
We the non-US citizens shold not have to deal with their rudeness. If there is a general lack of knowledge, arm oneself with some etiqutte books, read and practice. Good Manners mean "I meant you no harm".

74. Two Comments:

1. The argument that Timbaland uses the N word in his songs and therefore shouldn't be mad when people use it in his direction is completely at odds with how any human being (not just black people) thinks and operates. The point here, as always, is intent. The mere use of the word (though it should not be used by non blacks) is not the issue here. The issue is the use with the intent to virulently insult. When timbaland is saying the word in his song context and intent give it a different meaning and effect than when a pissed off white person says it to specifically bring up a history of racial degradation and insult someone. This to me seems incontrovertible.

2. Now, this is personal philosophy. As a man, you simply cannot allow other men or people in general to insult you in that manner. ANY MAN. Black white or whatever has to stand up and be willing to punish someone for their indiscretion if they decide that you are worthless enough to insult you with that intent and in that manner. Its simply the code. Animal planet. Never give an inch. The people that don't believe that are either kidding themselves, Lying (to dissociate themselves based on race), or are constant pushovers who lack self respect. From an American perspective, the concept fighting words is thouroughly ingrained in our national ideal. From John Wayne to Ben Franklyn to Alexander Hamilton to Malcolm X. Manhood is learning to never give an inch.

Peace
