I’ve Heard That….
Barack Obama snuck away from his press entourage on Friday in Miami-Dade County for an unscheduled fund raiser thrown by Tim “Timbaland Mosley, the hip hop entertainer and music producer.
Timbaland had been a Hillary Clinton supporter in the primary and threw her a $1,000-per-ticket fund raiser in March.
Sources inside the Obama campaign say Timbaland’s event raised several hundred thousand dollars. A number of National Basketball Association players were at the fund raiser, along with hip hop stars.
Timbaland, 37, owns two expensive homes in Miami-Dade. There is his $2.6 million apartment on South Beach. Four bedrooms and five baths overlook Biscayne Bay.
Then there is his sprawling $3.5 million, seven bedroom estate in Pinecrest.
Timbaland is known for shaping the music of Ludacris, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake and many others.
