Ananova:

Timbaland has said he finds music boring at the moment and is on the verge of quitting.

As a producer of top pop acts including Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, real name Timothy Mosley, has earned enough cash and popularity to retire already.

He told World Entertainment News Network: "I don't need to do anything for money. I'm just glad to have a job."

Yet he doesn't sound satisfied: "Music is boring right now. I'm too innovative for the world. I've been doing it so long, I'm about to throw in the towel."

The man behind tunes like Aliyah's Try Again and Missy Elliot's Get Ur Freak On wants to hand position at the top over.

Timb' said: "I'm about to de-crown myself and pass it over to one of the up-and-coming producers under me. They won't be able to be me- there's only one Timbaland."
