Aaliyah: Paris, 2001 (Rare Photo)

🔁 via @kerribrownmusic on Facebook “My #tbt photo!!! In 2001 I was on a trip to Europe, and while in Paris, I ran into the singer Aaliyah by the ferris wheel at the end of Champs Elysees. Completely star stuck, as she was filming for MTV, we asked for a picture and she so sweetly said of course! One month later, her plane went down when she was leaving the Bahamas after shooting her last music video for "Rock The Boat”. This picture […] I have a blown up amazing quality shot on my wall. Only 22 years old and made such an amazing mark in the music industry. “If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again…”

My heart 😭😭😭💔

Aaliyah: Rare Photo

🔁via Manny B Presents via Facebook. This was posted on Aaliyah’s birthday back in 2015. I remember seeing a cropped out version when we first came across it, but I see that this is the original picture. Original sources are very important so that we can trace it back to the story and have better, high quality images! So yes it’s good to see, but crediting original sources is very important y'all, so whenever you guys tag, make sure it’s from a true source. That goes with anything! ✌🏽❤

Aaliyah: Vets Memorial, Columbus, 1995 (Rare Photos)

🔁 via Ira Graham III: "Aaliyah was born on this day 01/16/79. So I thought I would go into my photo archives and pull out some photos I took of her when she performed in Columbus in 1995 at Vets Memorial. I was only with her for about 15 minutes, but she was so cool to let me in her dressing room to take a few photos. Just her and I. It was her idea to do these poses. I think it is much harder to get this close to artists today. For all of the Aaliyah fans."

Here are some new rare treats for you all! 😉A huge shout out to photographer Ira Graham III for sharing these gems via Facebook back in 2015 on Aaliyah's Birthday! I'm astounded at how we missed out on this! 😱Very seldom do we encounter such high quality images, particularly from this era, so this is truly a blessing! Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏽💚

Aaliyah Archves: News

🔁 via @favouritethingsbyazzizz "#TeamAaliyah, don't fall for this #fakenews, the "BarryHankerson" account on Twitter that posted this, is A TROLL! Real Barry Hankerson doesn't have ANY social media profile, his daughter confirmed it years ago, when first fake account was created ("Barry_Hankerson") - it's the same troll behind both profiles. So NO, no documentary about Aaliyah is coming to @netflix. Spread the word! #aaliyah #aaliyahhaughton #barryhankerson #blackground #netflix #aaliyahsdiaries #aaliyahdiaries #fake"

Getting so tired of this! 😩 Remember not to believe ANYTHING unless told otherwise either from Mama Diane or Rashad or official sources which in this case would be Netflix. The fact that Netflix have not announced anything proves that this statement is a lie period.
