DMX Talks About Aaliyah

On Aug 25, 2001, 10 years ago, r&b singer Aaliyah had just finished filming the video of her "Rock The Boat" single in The Bahamas, and she and her crew decided to travel back to the States immidiately, instead of waiting till the next day. The whole crew, including Aaliyah, boarded a Cessna 402 with all their equipments, instead of the 404 Cessna they had flown in from The States. Minutes after take-off at just 200 feet, the plane crashed because it was over its maximum takeoff weight by 320kg. DMX and Aaliyah were close, and he remembers Aaliyah in a recent interview-


...X was interviewed on BET's 106 and Park, honoring the singer on the 10-year anniversary of her death.
When asked about his fondest memory of Aaliyah, DMX recalled, "It was one of the awards shows out in L.A. that we went to together. Me, her, and her brother, actually. Up until then, I had never went to any award show with anyone but my wife. I rented the convertible, Rolls Royce, and I just made the movie, you know? We had a good time."
Describing Aaliyah as talented and an "angel," X revealed a special tribute to the singer: the rapper named his youngest daughter Aaliyah.
"This is Aaliyah," said X, showing his daughter to fans. "That's how special she was to me."
"Know that you're named after an angel," added the Yonkers emcee, speaking to his daughter.


Men!!! I ain't gonna lie, out of all the celebrities that passed in the last 3 decades, Aaliyah's death got to me the most. Imagine how she must have felt just before she died...autopsy showed that she suffered severe shock. DMX and Aaliyah must have gotten close from the set of "Romeo Must Die". May her soul rest in peace.
