Hard to believe 11 years have passed since the music world was shaken with news of R&B starlet Aaliyah‘s untimely passing. Indeed, the then-22 year old – whose career had already seen itself lined with accomplishments – seemed poise to take her career into the stratosphere.
But, that fateful August 25th day saw an unfortunate, other result.
In her wake, the singer has left many adoring fans and an everlasting impression on R&B. And, with news of unreleased tracks from the songstress soon set to make their way to music shelves, it’s safe to say that we have yet to hear the last of the ‘One In A Million’ maestra.
And while the Twitterverse was set alight this morning with faithful fans mourning and celebrating her life, now the stars have joined the salute to this awesome songstress. See who after the jump:
Drake : “RIP Baby Girl…in my ear at every show letting me know the next move I should make. Love you.”
Missy Elliot :” Aaliyah til this very day u r still in Your own Lane! Ure music is Timeless! We miss u! #WeLoveuAaliyah!”
Timbaland: “#ripaaliyah miss you babygirl”,
Mary J Blige : “Good morning twitter fam. Let’s all take a moment to remember our sister Aaliyah!!! #ripaaliyah”
Nicki Minaj: “#RIPAaliyah We’ll always love you”
Ne-Yo: “Today is the day that the R&B Angel Aaliyah passed on. RT if you loved her the way I did!!WE MISS YOU BABYGIRL!!!!”
Lil Kim: “#RIPAaliyah My Sister 🙁 ”
Frank Ocean: “RIP to the Beautiful and Talented Aaliyah”.
And with many more sure to come, join That Grape Juice as we remember Miss Haughton. R.I.P.
Aaliyah was such a talented and beautiful person on the inside and out. She is an inspiration to so many including myself to this day. She was truly an angel on earth. R.I.P. Baby Girl
Talented, beautiful and gone too soon, RIP…
Drake gurlllll….shut up.
PIECE OF WEAVE PERMING THESE LESSORS.
man u crack me up u should post more often
DRAKE JUS HAD TO BE OVER DRAMATIC AND WEIRD WITH HIS..HE ALWAYS DOES THE MOST SMH…TRYIN WAAAY TOO HARD
lmao i just had to come back to this… like wtf? Drake did not know that woman, even if he met her it was probably @ a concert in passing with his first check from Degrassi!
Queen, forever.
R.I.P I’m not really a fan but I will always jam to her music Rock the boat is my JAM!!!!!!! She has to be one of the prettiest girls to ever walk this earth
how are u not a fan with those comments. wtf lol kinda contradictory, eh?
Beauty and talent all rolled into one fun and interesting young lady!
R.I.P. Aaliyah
DRAKE! YOU’VE NEVER MET HER! GET OVER HER!
I do not know why I would tell a corpse to rest in peace, who is going to bother it? My condolences go out to her actual, living, breathing and thinking FAMILY who stiill are rpobably getting used to her not being here.
I was thinking, Rihanna was already pretty similar to Aaliyah during music of the sun and kind of similar to her now. Her next era she should channel Aaliyah, maybe in just one video but it should happen. Rih is the closest thing to Aaliyah now so it wouldn’t be too bad.
OMG JUST F*** OFFFFF
NO WHERE NEAR CLOSE TO AALIYAH, AALIYAH HAD TALENT SOMETHING RIHANNA DON’T
Aaliyah could not sing for s***, don’t pity hype her because she died.
@ benron (king of the navy)…
oh, right! aaliyah can’t sing but rihanna can?!!
I hate how ppl come out of the cracks in the floor to support and show love to artists after they are dead (yet watched them struggle while they were alive)! *cough* Whitney, Michael and now Aaliyah 🙁
what do u want them to do? tell grown men and women exactly how to run their lives? and how do u know they dint extend a hand? because they didnt discuss it in the media? hmm i wonder why they wouldnt.
just pass your condolence and move on. u are forever angry cuz of that fistopher loser
how was aaliyah struggling? she had just made a movie was in the process of completing another, and was up to star in another. she had also just completed an album.
this girl was going places. because of her sweetness, she was well loved by people who could make it happen.
I don’t play around with death… She deserves all the respect in the world R.I.P. to one of the all time greats!
I remember when I first heard Rock the boat one of my favorites from her. Her music still bangs in my car.
DRAKE IS SUCK A WIERDO NO WANDER RIHANNA DIDNT WANT HIS ASS
Rihanna channels Aaliyah in 2005 music video “If its lovin thatcha want”

UM I LOVE RIRI BUT NOTHING ABOUT HER SCREAMS THE QUEEN AALYIAH!! SHE WAS IN A LANE OF HER OWN!!
I didnt say she was as good as Aaliyah I said she was trying to be like her!
People really need to stop fooling themselves. Aaliyah was big in the black community and she still is but outside of that there’s no crossover appeal. If still alive she would be shitting on our faves in the black community but in any others she’d be irrelevant. Just because someone died doesn’t make them better. Just because someone’s old doesn’t make them the best and just because someone is young doesn’t make them inexperienced.
Shut up. Nobody asked you for your wack ass commentary. Aaliyah had plenty of crossover appeal, which is why she had multiplatinum albums, fists full of hits and why her death made worldwide news — and wasn’t just an interest to the black media. Furthermore, you have no idea what her career would be like today, if she were still around. None of us do.
Shut up.
aaliyah most certainly had the crossover vibe. when she died it was reported on news stations you wouldn’t have thought would have given her a minute.
KING AALIYAH!! SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH!! SHE WAS A NATURAL BEAUTY!! NO PLATSTIC PARTS OR B*** PADS!! BUT SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD!! IN GODS HOUSE!!! RIB REST IN BEAUTY!!!
DRAKE WISHES HE WAS AALIYAH.. HE PROBABLY USE TO DRESS UP AS HER WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER BACK IN HIS DEGRASSI DAYS AND DANCE IN THE MIRROR PRETENDING TO BE HER…HE IS BEYOND PRESSED..IN A GAY BOY KINDA WAY
He has two sets of outfits. One blonde wig and black leotard to pretend to be Beyonce in single ladies, one pair of highwaisted shorts and a medium brown wig to do the loud tour choreo of what my name and one long black wig, a bra and some jeans to do the “ROCK THE BOAT” Choreo.
RIP BABY GIRL…… BENRON U CRACKING ME UP…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH LAWD! BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAAAH
Timeless grace – angel Aaliyah. Rest peacefully! 8/25/2001

WOW EVERYBODY COMING TOGETHER SHOWING LUV EVEN @WHITE GIRL MOB HAS A HART I KNEW THERE WAS SOFT.
R.I.P. Aaliyah you was the s*** I always had to buy diapers for you mama haha
DRAKE i just knew it SMH…
I’m sorry but Aaliyah seem like a w**** when she was alive, and i won’t pretend to be fake. R.I.P she did die in a tragic way, but you people are pathetic boo f****** who we will all die one day.
Your mom is a w****. It’s the only reason you’re here. If she had waited for a respectable man to come along and choose her, it would have never have happened and you would have never been born. Lucky for you, the ugly b**** let all the bums in the neighborhood hit it.
Simpletons crying over a w**** who the bugs have eaten. I can tell mom jokes are not your forte…REST b**** like that dead b****!
So evidently what I said is true and now you’re trying to deflect. Your mom is a w****. An old, saggy, dry, used up one now; who’s probably even more desperate than she was the night she gave it up to that trick in the ally for a bag of chips and conceived your worthless ass. Too bad she didn’t abort. If in all her trickin’, she still didn’t earn enough money to get the s******** that is you sucked out of her crab infested uterus, she should have come to me and I would have fronted her the cash.
No evidently i hit a soar spot, and your cry baby ass can’t deal. Sad how one person can bring out the b**** in another….R.I.P w****
I’d rather be a “w****” than an sad, lonely and insignificant internet troll whose life is so empty and pitiful that they have to bait negative attention in cyber space on a Saturday afternoon to pass the time.
What’s the matter sweetie, no friends? Hell, even your name is pathetic. “YESIDIDBITCH….THE KING IS DEAD,AND BITCHYONCE IS Alive and a flop!!” I mean, really…
Loser.
I’m sorry do i know you, i’m confused as to how you would know how i am spending my Saturday lol. You people are sad on this post. Basically defending some w****, and crying over some dead b**** like she was kin, or you personally knew her. Lol yet i’m the loser because i decided to give my honest truth. i think that b1 yaky is sewed in too tight to that head….R.I.P h**
How in the hell is a Rihanna fan gonna accuse somebody else of being a w****? When Rihanna isn’t getting beat up by her lovers, she’s being passed around like blunt. She isn’t even respected by most of her peers. Stop projecting your favorites inadequacies because you’re bitter about them.
F*** YOU C***!!!!!! Talking so ill of the dead like that! SHOW SOME DAMN RESPECT!!! How would you like it if your fave died? Aaliyah was more authentic and gorgeous than any of these CHICKS in the music industry today. I bet when you die no one will miss your sorry PATHETIC ASS!!!!!!! How dare you call Aaliyah a w****! You didn’t even know her personally. While she was here she never gave any indication of being loose unlike some artists in the music biz today. KILL YO SELF YOU BUM B****!!!!!!!
Lol what’s that b****??? You acting a damn fool on this post, why are you so mad??? F*** her, dead or alive. Get over it
@YESIDIDBITCH….THE KING IS DEAD,AND BITCHYONCE IS Alive and a flop!! LOL!!! If anybody is upset it’s your UGLY ass. Are you jealous of a dead person? Are you upset because her corpse looks better than your body? ROTLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!
@YESIDIDBITCH….THE KING IS DEAD,AND BITCHYONCE IS Alive and a flop!! Oh and if anybody is the fool it’s you boo! If you took the time out of your PATHETIC Life to comment on a blog post about an artist that did nothing to you then that’s SAD B****! I know spreading negative s*** on a blog doesn’t pay the bills. Shouldn’t you be on a corner somewhere selling your body, so you can pay this months rent in your efficiency apartment? I know you don’t have a computer or cell phone either. You’re probably at the ghetto library in your neighborhood. LMAO!!!! BYE C***!
pump your brake have some respect….
you are taking this blog to serious, and you have the balls to say Beyonce fan are hood and ghetto, YOU are the epitome of GHETTO and heartless just like that 5headed C*** YOU STAN FOR
I stan for no one so shut your b**** ass up. I will say what i want, when i want F**! lol dead h**
YOUR TRASH
Sorry guys the truth is I’m an illiterate ghetto hoodrat that didn’t graduate kindergarden. My life is pathetic so I come on blogs to attack others to feel better about myself. I SUCK D*** for a living and have multiple STDs. Again I apologize for my behavior. I’m a Ho I don’t know any better.
Lol pathetic attempts to bring a strong powerful person down, but it no more pathetic than that weave piece hanging on to your receding hairline…rest b****
Oh yeah you guys i forgot to mention I HAVE A WEAVE PIECE HANGING ON TO MY RECEDING HAIRLINE. It’s worse than Naomi Campbell. Please pray for me ya’ll before I kill myself.
R.I.P. Aaliyah. Her music still sounds fresh and amazing. Timeless tracks! Her third album, ‘ΛΛΙΥΛΗ’ still slays most of the new albums of every genre. She’s still missed, but her music and her legacy live on. R.I.P.
R.I.P Aaliyah. Rihanna stans are terrible people…..coming after a dead person. Who gives a f*** about rihanna?!!!! Ugh anyway I digress, Aaliyah you’re still missed. Still jamming to Try again and Rock the boat.
All I said was Rihanna should channel her, I swore I was giving a compliment and condolences to her fans.
most of them are TRASH and grew up poor just like her…..The epitome of Ghetto TRASH
Those are Beyonce stans, difference is they are all STILL ghetto, and just liek their fave cannot read nor write.
yeah right , Beyonce grew up rich boo..
we can’t read and write but you type this:
and just liek their fave cannot read nor write.
@richandblack <333333 you
RIP Aaliyah. I wasnt really aware of her back then but Ive grown to love her discography since the day i heard “dunnno what to tell ya” gosh that was my song for like a lifetime lol
If perfection exists, she was very close to her, i’m still in love with her, to me she was one of the most beautiful girl i’ve ever seen. I remember meeting her after the MTV TRL show ended, she was the sweetest girl, i live near Times Square and every time a big star appeared on the program, me and my friends waited outside the back of the building to greet and take pictures because we did not want to be on television, great memories.
Been a fan from self titled album with Street Thing, Back & Forth, At Your Best etc…. Aaliyah
So relatable cool and smooth. Just easy on the eye and alot of hot hits.
RIP!!
Drake: “you always in my ear ” really drake?
Its amusing but not surprising, the kid is half Jew in the music industry and he can do whatever he wants.
She really was One in a Million. SO beautiful and talented! She will be forever in our hearts.
Love u Aaliyah
FLOP!
Ci-error is a flop too! #JustSayin
People like you disgust me smh Why don’t you Celebrate your fav And not talk bout ciara
I can imagine all she would of accomplished in this time, she will forever be one of my favorite artist. Aaliyah R.I.P

Please continue to argue with me on the blog because I have no real friends or family in my life. My mama abandoned me when I was young and my daddy sold me to a crack house. The only pleasure I get is when you guys conversate with me, IT TURNS ME ON!!!! YEAH BABY!

Hey Guys PLEASE COMMENT ON MY POST!!!!!! I LOVE ATTENTION. WHEN YOU GUYS ARGUE WITH ME IT TURNS ME ON!!! I LIKE TO TOUCH MYSELF. I LOVE AALIYAH SOOOOOO MUCH! i Wish I was her but I look like a gorilla hippo! I cut myself every night cursing the lord because he didn’t make me look like her. That’s why i PRAISE THE DEVIL
It’s obvious that YESIDIDBITCH is feeling personally jilted *BECAUSE* Aaliyah was so pretty. She’s made several references to looks being the reason for the attention being paid to her; it doesn’t take a P.H.D. to crack the neurosis.
Same old story. Awkward, bitter, dumpy female, who no one notices, talking s*** about another female whose prettier because they’re jealous of all the attention they’re getting, while they languish in the background either laughed at, or ignored.
My guess is behind the keyboard, this girl is a complete dumpster h**, whose face looks like a bowl of stale chili. Am I getting kinda close there, YES? Have you had your milk bone today?
:::: throws stick ::::
Go get it girl. Woof.
Yet you sat there like dumb b****, and wrote all that for me lol. Hmmm but yet i’m the jilted one lmaoo, i’m baffled like why waste the time to do so if I’m a “Dumpster h**”..Rest with that dead b**** please, you make no damn sense h**. MOVING ALONG *LOOKS AROUND* nothing here but silly h***
Heh. You tried…
Don’t try to rationalize to save face. I solved the puzzle on your ugly ass. The secret is out and your cover is blown. Behind your witless online trolling, you’re a stray K-9 who no one wants to pet. This is why you have spent the entire day in this thread (with more posts than anyone else) taking out your hostility on Aaliyah; throwing out all sorts of tired remarks and behaving as a text book example of a bitter, jealous female who carries grudges against other females who’re more attractive, more popular and get more attention than you ever will.
Not every one was meant to be born pretty, or intelligent (and based on your remedial-style typing, and silly grammatical flubs, you don’t strike me as being an ‘A’-student either.) Hating on Aaliyah, however, won’t make you less dog-like. Accept your hideous, Mace-worthy face and move on.
@CzarM Thank you for putting me in my place. Like I’ve said before I just want people to talk to me on here so I feel like I’m at least a little loved. I know you don’t really love me but it’s good enough. At least I don’t feel completely alone anymore. I really should be going now, I have to get back on the corner and sell my body to the highest bidder or else my pimp is gonna beat my crotch infected ass. Please inform all your friends that I’m running a special tonight. I’m also trying to gain some extra cash so I can get a hot sausage for breakfast tomorrow. Call me at 1-776-784-8883 (PROSTITUTE).
Dead h*** rest,…R.I.P Aaliyah
WAH! I think I just doo dooed on myself. MY BOOTY ITCH!!! WAH WAH!!! No bodys gonna wanna sleep with me tonight. DAMNIT!!!! Ya’ll PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!! I’M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO MEET MY QUOTA TONIGHT. PLUS I REALLY WANT A HOT SAUSAGE!!! OH THE HORROR!!!!
