dameaaliyah

Though their relationship remained out of the public eye, Aaliyah and Damon Dash quickly became one of hip-hop’s favorite couples. They were only together for a little over a year, but the co-founder of Roc-a-Fella Records had every intention of marrying the R&B singer.  Just days after Aaliyah died tragically, Damon held an interview with MTV News, in which he speaks on both his love for her and his mourning, saying that “everyday” with her was “a special event” and he would “do anything for her, anything to protect her.” Watch the clip here.

Also, watch stars pay tribute to the fallen angel:

    Although this song is associated with her death and it sort of bittersweet, the song is really beautiful.

    i thought that video was beautiful it made me cry…..Aaliyah was very special indeed and i do believe she is now doing gods work in a place as beautiful as she was here on earth i miss her music which was all i really knew of her because i dont stay in the paparrazi limelight but i want to wish condolences to her family and friends as well this is probably hard for them.

    @0VancouverHurts…that’s cold to say. I know that Michael Jackson was the most influential artist ever and there will never be another like him but this is still about someone having their life tragically taken away from them. Aaliyah had a family. Do you think they can stomach the fact that she is not around ever though that was eight years ago? No. Aaliyah was a good person and she treated people with respect. No one who gives respect deserves disrespect.

    I’m glad that this day is being remembered for AAliyah….I was just looking her up 2 days ago and started tearing when I ran across an old article about her plane crash….I am still affected to this day. I miss you Babygirl!….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/0VancouverHurts/ 0VancouverHurts

    @ blackcasper2001 – I’m sorry my apologies, BUT, Aaliyah didnt mean anything to me, but Im sure she has to you and many. She didnt pay my bills or i didnt know her personally lol Thats a line that alot of beyonce haters use so might as well give it a shot! What aaliyah means to you, is what beyonce means to me. With that being said, why should aliyah fans get better treatment den bee fans? That s**t aint right, u respect me den i respect u.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/doinmeallday247/ doinmeallday247

    She was a very talented singer/actor.. a friend of mine just said the other day “oh well she wasn’t very popular” s**t if she wasn’t.. Girl had talent!! Very sexy in a classy way.. she wasn’t like half these chicks now days.. she was a lady and deserves respect. Alot of people care that she is gone.. I didn’t know her personally, but like I said babygirl had talent and she will always and forever be missed.. Beyonce, RIRI, keyshia, Mariah whoever… they don’t come close to what Aaliyah was(in my eyes) keyshia coming close though haha.. RIP Babygirl

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ladyobama08/ ladyobama08

    SHE WAS AN ANGEL PEOPLE GET SO JEALOUS DEAD OR ALIVE.YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. MAYBE LISA DIDN’T TOUCH PEOPLE LIKE SHE DID. YOUR TRUE SELF SHOWS WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH.WHILE LISA WAS BURNIN DOWN HER MAN’S HOUSE AALIYAH WAS SPREADIN LOVE. YOU CAN’T TELL PEOPLE WHO TO LOVE MORE. I LOVED LISA TO BUT AALIYAH TOUCHED ME WITH HER KINDNESS AND TRUE SELF.

    I can honestly say that when some celebrities die, it’s no big deal to me because I didn’t know them personally. However, there’s something about the deaths of Aaliyah and Tupac Shakur that really crushed me. These are the only two celebrities that make me sad when I think their untimely deaths. I’ve never met either of the two but, when I listen to their music, I feel as if I’d been knowing them for years.

    f**k that crossed eyed b***h she was a faked heair clown face hoe she was f**king mad niggas she could not sing without the studio help nobody heard that also noone seen the picture of her ugly ass with no make up on right or did anyone no about her nose job if that b***h was still living she would of had breast implants fake ass in all of that millions of people died im pretty sure people died in yall family when she was living if she knew she wouldnt of gave a f**k she got what the f**k she deserve

    2 things… Damon Dash, Aaliyah was going to realize that would have been a mistake and not have done that.

    Two, Everybody on here being “niggative” & hateful… I hope NONE OF YOU believe in the most high, that way you can live the rest of this life carefree.

    Karma returns to everyone… no matter who you are. I HOPE YOU MEANT WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE DEAD, YOUR TURN IS COMING!

    I never seen so much stupidity before in my life. Why be insenisitive? Its not about whether she did anything for you or her talent. That was some tragic s**t that happened to her. If you didnt like her why comment? Why be disrespectful? What if that was your family member that somebody was dogginng out for no reason and they didnt personally know them. Have some muthaf**kin compassion! To that dickhead ltotheuno: go play in traffic. that some weak ass s**t to say no real man would ever do some s**t like that. i guess you are a man, ur pic looks like one if u are not. to Vancouverhurts: ur from vancouver, what more is ther to say: oh yeah get u some bullets dip them in hot sauce put them in ur gun and prepare to kill urself idiot!!!

    I just had to address that bc some people do unnecessary s**t sometimes. Aaliyah was a human being and just like any other human being that leaves this earth we should mourn them, remember them,and rejoice them. Life’s too short to be hateful and inconsiderate of others bc you never know what will happen to you or someone you love. i didnt know her personally, but i feel compassion for anyone that has lost a loved one. Aaliyah…always remembered.

    Ever since I first saw Damon Dash with his wife (can’t remember her name), I could always tell that he was still in love with Aaliyah, there is just a distance between them that can be seen. Maybe he was going to marry her, that is a big step for a man, to want to settle down his life with one woman only. I think to that is what ultimately broke up his friendship with Jay-Z because Beyonce was to Jay what Aaliyah was to Dame…a strikingly beautiful successful woman, that is down to earth and thoughtful. I think Dame began to hate on Jay for having what he lost and that silent anger broke them up as friends. SMH…She is surely missed…

    I remember being a freshmen a Lane College in 2001 and heard the news about Aaliyah. It was truly a sad moment for me and my friends. I grew up listening to Aaliyah music and her being my idol. It is hard to believe it’s been 8 years! We miss you Aaliyah and no one can ever replace you!

    I remember when Aaliyah came to Atlanta..They were at the GreenBriar Mall early in the morning and I wanted to go soooo bad to see her…but had i went I would of been late to work. But then when she died the outpouring support was just too overwhelming.. At the same mall (Greenbriar Mall) there was thousands of people showing up to show love for her and to sign this Huge Condolence card..It was very very sad… I’m 31 and that was my first musician who I ever cried over..it was like she was your homegirl even just through her music!

    R.I.P. Aaliyah..you Are STILL MISSED!

    This is about aaliyah if you dont like her then why post thats so damn childish and spells jealously, yes men can be hateful and jealous of women too. I just happen to read the other comments and people say stupid s**t, nobody said anything bad about micheal jackson and or beyonce in this forum, I love them both very much they are extremely talented. But vancover oh whatever the f**k your name is you need to grow up, do me a favor cause I hate beyonce haters too go all over the internet and find them and curse them out that will give your silly ass plenty to do…

    Its crazy to me how you have to know some one personally to feel sympathy and compassion for them when they die,if their a celebrity but yet if you meet some one for the first tiema nd they tll you their mother just died you say o im osrry to hear that . How does being a celebrity make you less than a person. The bible says all mean will feel the sting of death of if God sees them as HUMAN why is it so hard for US to see them as human . having more money doesnt make you less of a person deserving of compassion. Maybe I just have a bleeding heart but I still to this day feel sorry for her family , her mother and father lost their only daughter and her brother lost his little sister if nothing else we should feel compassion for them. RIP Aaliyah I may not have known you but your music spoke to me in a way only another artist would be able to understand
