Aaliyah Dana Haughton (January 16, 1979- August 25, 2001) departed her physical form on this day seven years ago. Home bound on a plane from the Bahamas, Aaliyah
and eight others had their lives abruptly snatched away as they headed
home to their loved ones. Doing what she loved Aaliyah was in the
Bahamas shooting what was to be her last video for her song "Rock the Boat".
She was an R&B singer during the 90's with a budding career as an
actress,With her self titled album she was definitely on her way to
becoming way more commercial, And of course her loyal fans were in high
anticipation of joining her in the journey to achieve ultimate stardom.
She was very different from most stars of her time and even from a lot of
artists now.
But like anyone who shoots up there was always the naysayers who bad
mouthed her. She was very private and often would be photographed with
her signature shades and a bang covering most of her face. Her young
marriage to R.Kelly brought a lot of negative attention her way, but
strong and ever mysterious she kept on recording.
She had a decent lesbian following encouraged by her Tomboy Style and
knack for over sized clothing. She was a model for Tommy Hilfiger and had
a lot of us girls in the 90's copying her style , with our boxer shorts
nd mid drifts showing. I smile thinking of the rumors of her being a
lesbian even up until her death. In her last video there wasn't a male
to be found just beautiful women dancing together on aboat in all white.
. .ahhh heavenly for true. She was never romantically linked to any
female and her last relationship was with hip-hop CEO Damon Dash.
She loved animals and even had a sexy dark side as can be seen in her
role as Vampire queen Akasha and in her music video " We Need a
Resolution"
Through it all Aaliyah will continuously be remembered and loved by her
fans. There would never be another like her. On this day let us remember
what it was like to have a truly creative and artistic sole like her
grace our earth Gone but not forgotten may she rest in peace!
