The talented singer always seemed destined for superstardom.
In August 2001, Aaliyah was in the Bahamas filming a music video for her third album,Aaliyah.
The NTSB eventually ruled that the plane went down because it was overloaded (viaBillboard).
“She seemed like she was living everything in rewind, like she’d already done all of this.
She had this personality that was contagious.
It was never just a job when you were working with her.
You always had fun.
Good kid fun.”
Another person who took Aaliyah’s passing especially hard was late rapper DMX.
The two met several times a week for six months.
“We worked very seriously,” Guskin toldRolling Stone.
“She was a great student.
Very smart, incredibly emotionally available, and she had a wonderful imagination.”
