Aaliyah’s Brother Rashad Haughton Had a Heartwarming Reaction to Tyla’s MTV EMAs Tribute to the Late R&B Star

Published: Monday 11th Nov 2024 by Rashad

Before stunning 2024 MTV EMAs viewers with the award show debut performance of her latest single ‘Push 2 Start‘ on Sunday night (November 10), Tyla dropped jaws on the event’s red carpet in a gorgeous vintage Robert Cavalli gown.

Social media sleuths were quick to recognize its design was a clear nod to the tiger-print dress donned by late R&B princess Aaliyah on the carpet of the 2000 MTV VMAs.

And while fans around the globe praised the fashion splash made by the ‘Water‘ hitmaker (born Tyla Laura Seethal), she got a particularly special shout out from an unexpected source: Aaliyah’s brother Rashad Haughton.

Tyla may have been born five months after Aaliyah’s untimely death, but the South African starlet has never shied away from speaking on the late singer’s influence over her music – admiration she reiterated while accepting the Best R&B Award at Sunday’s EMAs.

“R&B is a huge influence on my music. Especially Aaliyah, she’s like one of my idols,” Seethal said (as seen in the video above).

Once word got to Rashad’s desk, he sent the warmest of congratulations to the rising Amapiano songstress for her EMAs wins and recognition of his superstar sister.

“Love this…congrats Queen,” he shared via his Instagram stories on Sunday (November 10) before saying, “Shout to Queen Tyla for the love and respect.”

At the time of this report Tyla’s not publicly responded to Haughton’s warm wishes.

      I think so but I like that he’s not flamboyant and u can’t really tell 4 sure but yea that family had impeccable genes Aaliyah was so fine and so is her brother.

  3. What Would LIL Wayne DO November 11, 2024

    did she really have to walk the red carpet in a dress similar to
    Aaliyah. tyla is pretty but she is not AAliyah she dont have the mystery she had
    and AAliyah is one of the greatest dancers in music

    Was Tyla even born when Aaliyah passed? It’s highly likely the dress choice was someone else’s idea as opposed to her own.

    Let Tyla live. Appreciate the support from Aaliyah’s brother.
