Missy Elliott Remembers Aaliyah on the Singer’s 41st Birthday

As we approach the 20 year anniversary of the tragic death of the late, Aaliyah Haughton, Missy Elliott took the time to wish the singer a Happy Birthday.

“#HappyBDayAaliyah You Are Still Inspiring People! “Your edgyness & smooth dancing SO EFFORTLESS your UNIQUENESS & STYLE unmatched MUSICALLY your songs will 4EVER be NEXT LEVEL! RIP babygal 4Ever Loved,” Missy wrote on Twitter. Along with her birthday post, Missy posted a behind the scenes clip of the singer.

“I’ve always been someone who has had an affinity towards edgy things, towards the dark side. From Romeo to Queen of the Damned to The Matrix, they all kinda represent that for me. It’s very edgy, it’s unique, and it’s a little bit dark, and I like that in my music as well. So, I felt in taking a step into another genre that I wanted to do something that people could understand the flow with me and they know me that way in music so I thought this was the best way,” Aaliyah said in the clip.

In November there were reports that as a gift to fans for the singer’s birthday, fans would be able to stream Aaliyah’s music. The only songs on digital platforms come from her 1994, Age Aint Nothing But A Number album, featuring some of Aaliyah’s greatest hits like “Back and Forth,” “Age Aint Nothing But a Number,” “Down With The Clique,” and more. Let’s see if fans are still in for that surprise!

Happy Birthday To Hip Hop’s Angel Aaliyah (RIP)

Today (January 16), the late beautiful songstress Aaliyah would have turned 39 years old. Although “Baby Girl’s” untimely death was during the peak of her music and acting career, Ms. Aaliyah Dana Haughton left an incredible mark on the lives of her family, loved ones and massive fan base across the world.

Aaliyah once graced us with hits such as ‘Age Ain’t Nothin’ But A Number,’ but today it is just a memory. Today we celebrate the birthday of the sultry singer and actress who was killed at the young age of 22, when her plane crashed in The Bahamas, on August 25, 2001.

At the time of Aaliyah’s death, she was engaged to rap mogul Damon Dash. She was topping the music charts with hits such as “Try Again,” “More Than A Woman,” and “I Miss You.” The multi-talented star was also making a name for herself in Hollywood, starring in movies Queen of The Damned and Romeo Must Die.

August 25th, 2001 was a tragic day for many of us as we lost this angel close to 1 years ago, but her legacy lives on stronger than ever.
