Legendary music producer Timbaland has undergone a profound transformation. From kicking a painkiller addiction and dropping over 130 pounds. The hitmaker has remade himself following a dark period in his life. According to Timbaland, he started abusing prescription painkillers, specifically Oxycontin and Percocet, after a root canal in 2011. Then, he started to get pain in his arm from an old injury and was able to get more pills. However, the drugs then became a way for him to deal with his problems, which included a difficult divorce and an IRS investigation. “I had a dream that death was near,” says Timbaland. “I saw myself with a white face.”
