For years people have erroneously stated that Danja was "ghost producing" for Timbaland. Well, today Danja cleared up those rumors:

Early on people mislabeled you as his ghost producer but your name was on the records. Were you ever a ghost producer for Tim?

I can say from “I’m so Fly On” my name was on the records. I didn’t do anything I didn’t get credit for. I got my publishing and everything. Tim is active in the studio. He makes the beats, he doesn’t need me to make a beat for him. Never that. I think people do sometimes mistake when I got with him and get credit for things I had NOTHING to do with it. I’ve heard people mistake me being around for “Dirt Off Your Shoulders” but I wasn’t anywhere around Tim back then. Our era begins in 2004.

Another myth is that Danja was doing the bulk of the work. Well, he cleared up that too just last week:


Danja Tells All: The Stories Behind His Biggest Hits | Complex

Highlights:

Justin Timberlake's "Lovestoned/I Think She Knows"- Danja: "Tim really went in on that. He had beatboxing, drums, guitar and all kinds of things going on. By the time I got to the studio, that thing was rocking already. I added some stuff here and there but it was a masterpiece by the time I walked in, he was in the zone with that one.

The Game's "Put You On The Game"- Danja: The beat was definitely done by him, I was just in there but it was a competitive thing. It was always a competitive thing with us in the studio, that carried through the projects we worked on.

Dudes just wanna hate on Tim like he ain't been producing RnB fire since the 90's. Tim didn't need Danja to make a Classic RnB album. If anything Danja needed Tim cause he was the one that was unknown. I can't front though, "20/20" is missing something without Danja. Tim is still there but Tim and Danja has some amazing chemistry.
