Aaliyah: McNichols Arena, Denver, 1998 (Rare Photo)

🔁 via @philippembuido: "TBT...with Aaliyah in Denver all those years ago... #aaliyah" He also mentioned in another comment a full background story behind this image saying... "This is in Denver, 1998 for her show at McNichols Arena. She performed with The Superfriends...if I remember correctly: Missy, Timbaland & Magoo and Ginuwine. I promoted her second album “One In A Million” while at Atlantic Records. I was with her on numerous occasions, taking her to urban radio stations, Denver west. I’ve got a few more pics with her which I will post in the near future. It was a pleasure working with such a beautiful human being.💯"

Aaliyah: Rare Photo (1998)

🔁 via @rayhorta: “Here’s a cool throwback to 1998 when I still couldn’t grow hair on my chin 😂😂 . I heard Aaliyah was going to be at this private event and I was determined to meet her (back then I was more daring and crazy lol ) I found out where the party was and I invited my friend @mpleitez79 and asked if he was down to try and figure out a way to sneak into this party. Of course he was down. We hid behind trash cans waiting for security to walk away or turn around. We jumped a few fences and walls and when we finally make it in she’s the first person we see. She smiled at us and said hi. Even though her entourage kept telling her they had to go she told them to relax and talked to us for a cool min and took some pictures with us. I’ve hung out and met a few celebrities in my life but she’s the one that stands out the most. She was super sweet, cool and down to earth. #tbt #aaliyah” | What an amazing story to share with a beautiful image to go with it! I know I would of done exactly the same thing just to have a chance to meet her in person! Y'all are so lucky! 😩 

Aaliyah: Fiji, 1998 (Rare Photo)

🔁 via @eliane.nicole: “Aaliyah and me in the beautiful ocean in Fiji. This was such a special trip. She rarely vacationed because she worked constantly since she was a very young girl, so it was so nice and very rare for her to have this downtime with friends. We were there for 3 weeks from December 1997, to January 1998. We rang in the new year in Fiji. Her loyal fans always hit me up asking me to share pix of her. It is so wonderful how much they love her and keep her memory alive on social media even 16 years after her passing. She never saw Facebook, IG, any of it, but I know she would be so tickled by it all and touched that her fans do daily posts and are so reverent in keeping her legacy alive! ❤️❤️#beautifulmemories #babygirl #Aaliyah” | Thank you so much for sharing with us all! 🙏💚 Love seeing Aaliyah in her braids! 😩😍❤
