"We missed you on the charts last weekend, oh that's right-- you wasn't there."

At this moment, I am listening to the Timbaland/Justin Timberlake/Nelly Furtado song "Give It To Me," and I ask myself, "Is this song about the musicians' rivalries with anyone in particular?" Of course, Wikipedia knows the answer:

"In an interview with MTV, Timbaland revealed the target of his verse to be producer Scott Storch, with whom he co-wrote Timberlake's 2002 single "Cry Me a River." Though production on the song is credited solely to Timbaland, Storch has claimed that he helped produce it and did not receive due credit.[3]

Additionally, it is rumored Timberlake's verse is aimed at pop artist Prince. Prince reportedly started a feud during an Emmy after-party, claiming that "For whoever is claiming that they are bringing sexy back, sexy never left!" which caused Timberlake's response.[4] When the song was released it was rumored that Justin's verse was aimed at pop sensation Janet Jackson but this rumor has later been put to rest."

It even has footnotes! Wikipedia is hilarious.
