ROBBIE WILLIAMS - WILLIAMS: 'RAPPERS WON'T WORK WITH ME'

British singer ROBBIE WILLIAMS has confessed his rap career isn't going anywhere after hip-hop heavyweights TIMBALAND and SWAY snubbed him. The RUDEBOX star, who earlier this month (MAR07) revealed he is in talks with rapper 50 CENT about a collaboration, attempted to contact MISSY ELLIOT producer Timbaland to no avail. Williams, 33, says, "I tried to get in touch with TIMBALAND, but there was no joy back from anybody." And as for London rapper Sway, he adds, "I was so disappointed because f**k what you think of me, but just as a human being to another human being, I sent him an email going 'I really f**king love this mate, it's dead funny, dead clever, it's really on it.' And then he slagged me off."
