“I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer, and a good person.” – Aaliyah Dana Haughton (January 16, 1979 – August 25, 2001)
Today marks 17 years without you, I can’t put into words how harder it gets when years go by when this day comes around. Aaliyah Dana Haughton was born 16th January 1979 and sadly was taken from us on this day August 25th 2001. Aaliyah we will always remember your soft legacy and gifted spirit that you dedicated in the music industry, You’re truly an inspiration to many people and many young girls that we look up to everyday. You are a light that will forever continue to blossom and shine all around the world leaving us still star-trucked in what you done in the little time you had. You’ve brought so many countless happiness moments of joy within the years as your music fashion and legacy still manages to unite the world. Till this day, It doesn’t still well with us all how you’re gone and not here to see how much you’re still loved by us many fans and family, But one day we’ll reunite again with that beautiful old joyful smile, long hair, and that beautiful voice of a hummingbird. I know your blessed humble spirit is in a good place that will be watching over us as we celebrate and remember your legacy.
We love and miss you so much BabyGirl, Rest In Paradise.

“What am I most proud of throughout my whole career? What feels the best is when I receive that plaque, knowing that my fans went and picked up the album. They’re the reason why I’m sitting on this couch and I’m doing what I’m doing, and the reason why the movie’s doing well, and that feels the best. To know that I’ve touched people overseas, as well as here in America; and when I get that plaque, that means everything.”
17 years ago today, Aaliyah made her last TV appearance on BET’s “Get Paid In The Escalade” Contest on 106 & Park.
She gave away $20,000 and a Escalade for her “Get Paid In The Escalade” contest. This made her the only artist to ever do this in the history of BET and 106 & Park.
