Yes, I miss this show as well and Travis Smiley show and the BET news with the Black lady with the short hair I think her name started with a J. This was when BET was worth watching.
I feel like had he been there at the "Rock The Boat" video shoot with her in the Bahamas she wouldn't have boarded that plane . You can honestly tell he really loved her and cared for her . Just hearing him talk about her makes me cry so hard .
Her death always confused me.. Why would her crew and label let someone they didn't do their background check on fly her? She was as big as beyonce at that time, I damn sure know not anyone is gonna be flying beyonce out of an island just like that? They sent her to the Bahamas for what ?? To shoot a video that was 90% green screen? I still can't accept her death smh rest up babygirl
No I believe things happen for a reason out of God. She's living in a life now where she's needed but it's just disgusting how she went along with her crew
+Ashley McLean I just think you need to do some research baby. its more to the industry then what you think. that's why her death seem strange. please my baby don't be brainwashed.
She wasn't as big & mainstream as Beyonce as far as opportunity money publicity but she was special and trailblazing and had that potential but still dealing with the competition and struugles as a black woman making a name in the business in 2001 Conservative America. Alicia Keys and J records took her shine in records sales because of her team her racial ambiguity and her promotion with Oprah through Clive Davis. Virgin did not want to spend the money to get Aaliyah a better plane at the moment, told her to wait a few days(which I believe was a lie) but was pressuring her(stated by Fatima Damon her make up stylist) to get back to promote the movie and she was stressing about getting home to friends family Damon and promoting the album, a grueling schedule. She hated and feared being on planes. She called Damon before getting on the plane stating she didn't want to get on it because of her fear of planes but she felt pressure by the label and she was tired of shooting two videos back to back and from filming Queen of the Dammed before her More Than A woman video shoot. She got on the plane with a pilot who was a damn foreigner who was a drug addict and had drugs in his system at the time and part of her team. the jet plan from the rachet as island was supposedly over loaded and they crashed after taking flight. only a few survived for a few hours to tell what happened her body guard and another bigger man then they both passed at the hospital. also to find out the mexican drug using pilot falsified his pilot licensing and the ghetto ass island airport didn't fully check his licensing credentials. I remember virgin didn't even want to pay for her funeral and they were sued it was a mess then. the record label and virgin plan was owned by some white Australian over tanned as muthafucka, I can't remember his name. Lord Aaliyah had a horrible passing by the reports from her friends and staff that found her body.
It’s interesting watching this compared to his recent interview. He’s obviously moved on and it still hurts but the wound has healed. Now he cherishes the memories..misses her still but watching her or hearing her is probably more of a sweet memory than something painful.
Wow, I can see how hurt he looked, he barely could look up notice this is every time he talks about her he has his head down, and just sad . I think he fights his emotions. What he said in the beginning was so deep how the one thing Aaliyah loved about him is how she saw the strength he had when he dealt with his obstacles that's touching. Cause he had to deal so with her loss. They were soul mates, she was his best friend and one and only he loved her so much I can tell. I don't care what anybody say!! I loved them together wish they could of last and had a future, with kids. and Damn Dame was handsome as hell back then!! sheesh he look like R&B singer Case for real lmao to whomever said that.
They say that dame was into blood sacrifices (illuminati) I really do believed he sacrificed her, sources say in order to sacrifice, you have to love the person, there is no doubt they loved eachother, but he loved fame, and fortune more.
You might be right, I remember reading an article on body language and eye contact and sometimes it can mean a person is feeling guilty if they constantly look down without making much eye contact... and just looking at him with his head down and looking down is suspicious to me.
Anthony Baker Jr. In love with Aaliyah. plus he had plans on getting married after she finished Her Matrix Sequel but she didn't finish due to her death
Ace Williams finally im reading a comment written buy a producer and not a gullible mindless consumer, Damon Dash is so obviously lying in this interview as well as all the others smh
To all those who question Damon's love for Aaliyah. He later stated in retrospect that everyone he ever truly loved and loved him in return was taken from him. He built a shell to protect himself and his emotions. He may appear casual and self contained but this is how he has survived the pain. Hurt does things to a persons soul. None of us has any right to judge this man.
He basically said why she was killed , he said “ she’s a martyr , she’s an angel “ If you know the definition of the word MARTYR then you would actual come to realization on why she died
Aaliyah fulfilled her purpose on this earth......God called her.....it was her time to go......tho we miss we got to understand that....I love aaliyah her music..... everything ......R.I.P
Rajim Wakefield its not your time to go when someone kills you, how is it that someone is told there plane is 700 pounds over the weight Aaliyah and her entourage of 8 don even question that but instead they turn around and argue with the pilot who doesnt mind losing his own life as well. the industry stole a life, period.
@@denzelpinkerton9665 nigga i wasn't even disrespecting her idiot. The comment before mines was trying to say she was murdered along with majority of these crazy people believing that and i just said it was her time, it was her destiny to die
I think he really did love her despite what people say and I think no matter who comes along in his lifetime they will never replace or recover his true love that he lost.
Even watching this 20 years later, I can feel Damon's pain. He truly loved Aaliyah, and sadly he never recovered from her death. I can't help but feel empathy for Dame.🥺🙏🏽🙏🏽
some of these comments irritate me.. what's with this sacrifice/ illuminati stuff. Aaliyah passed cause it was her time to go. If it wasn't her time, she would still be here. & I'm pretty sure she would've said the exact same thing. Let this woman rest in peace for once.

It goes way deeper than what really happened. I'm not saying it has something to do with that illuminati but it sure as hell wasn't just an accident.
Notice he called her a Martyr... my brother was killed and I never used such a term and he actually was murdered. Point being: if this is an accident who uses the term martyr? There’s something up with him, Jay Z, R Kelly and Aaliyah. It’s sad she had to be the one sacrificed
How could she be his sacrifice? He lost everything after she passed. Now, I would believe that she could been Jay Z and Beyonce's sacrifice. Look how they blew up after her passing.
@@RosefromPittsburgh it’s sad how y’all have this picture painted in your head that there can’t be two successful black women in the music industry. For one Aaliyah wanted to move on from music and do more movies she wanted to have a a career like Sade where she popped up every here and there she didn’t wanna be a big huge entertainer like how Beyoncé is rn anybody that speaks on Aaliyah says she’s very private. Stop with that sacrifice bs she passed away sadly because it was her time to go let her Rest In Peace.
19 years later and it still weighs on my mind. The fact that her music has vanished off of shelves is extremely irritating. Her uncle needs punched in his mouth!!!
😢 I don't like you adlibbin Dame! I don't think she was gonna marry you at no time dude! Too beautiful and classy for you! She was about to make a lot of changes b4 she passed and you were one of them! RIP Baby Girl❤❤!
The People are the best Judge. We see it but we can’t bring these bastards to justice same way in every other similar cases, we all knew what really happened just by observing and letting the guilty ones hang them selves.
they were i think. He was trying to show her how to be an entrepreneur. she wanted to get away from being tied to her uncle. Damon said on video they hung out and u wasnt gonna have sex with. He was dating her french model friend and she was dating his cousin stacey dash. look at the photos she mostly with stacey on them not with him. She liked hom just like she liked everybody else as friends. Their photos she looks uncomfortable hugging him but he supposed to be her boyfriend. That was a friendship/ business type relationship. He lied and they were getting married but later said they wasnt. they supposed to been dating for a year but if they was in engaged then why she say in her dream interview. When she finds the man shes looking for she will marry him? but she already engaged. He said she was his homeboy, his lil dude. He said that cause Aaliyah was a lesbian. She was a tomboy but she couldn't be open with it no more than just dressing like a dude. She had to look more like a woman. Anyway he was the one that kept rushing her to get on the plane. She was on her way to do a remix with freeway and just blaze tbey say dame set up that session. Her uncle told them folks to overload that plane cause he didnt want her to leave and go with dame and his label rockafella. In order to keep her royalties she had to be deceased so he could continue to get them. She didnt know it was overloaded cause her parents won the lawsuit against hype williams. hype people rented that plane to save money. Her uncle is a lawyer and got sued for taking tim, toni Braxton, j dubb etc. money. She just wanted to get away from the family label. weeks before she died she had that dream so she knew something was gonna happen to her. She died behind greedy people.
Shawn wtf are you talking about? Why do you think you know her sexuality? I'm just asking. There was no proof of her being gay, straight, or whatever. However there was more proof to show she was a hetero-sexual.
Miillie Mesh thats the side they wanted the public to see. At that time people wasnt coming out saying they were gay like they are now. She couldnt be open in the public llike that. You took time out to pin point that one little thing? So her relationship can be talked about as long as its with a man but cant if she liked women? either way gay or straight her relationship is still being discussed. people still gossiping about her being with dame and jay z. When dame says in another video she was friends with both of them. Dame says she would date u and be your friend but u wasnt gonna hit that that was his experience with her. youtube damon dash called jay knew aaliyah first. Listen to what ge says about her. He didnt get any either. He says she was like his dude, his homie, his lil man. What do u think he mean when he says that? cause he didnt even have to say that. She friendzoned alot of men he says. I wonder why she did that to all of them all them years as pretty as she was. She didnt want none of them. Some of them were handsome. Tim, static all of them liked her but she turned them into the friends too ijs. i dont take a rocket scientist to figure that out. She was a tomboy and her family got a fragrance out now thats a combination of colognes she wore that leans masculine to go with her tomboy.
Miillie Mesh I bet u don't believe she was a tomboy either. Look at her early pictures then go to UA-cam radio interview aaliyah hot 97 Angie martinez. She talks about being a tomboy herself. Most tomboy like girls. Her staff and best friend kidada said in articles that she was a tomboy.
Yes! I believe that her parents raised her with love and supported her in her career. It makes me mad when I hear people talk bad about her parents not protecting her from a pedophile. Even the best parents can’t always protect their children from evil. They have trust and faith in their children not to make bad decisions because of how they train them at home, I don’t know how many times I heard “my child would never do this or that!”. But a sexual predator is very manipulative and invests a lot if time grooming the victim and those close to her so he can have access to her. How many “trusted” people in power have been accused of wrongdoing? Rumors may exist but sometimes people will only believe a grain of truth and don’t fully understand how dangerous these predators are. They have conditioned people around them to cover their tracks so they become enablers sometimes unknowingly until it’s too late. Aaliyah was very mature for her age and had a sensual side to her that got exploited. I’m certain that nothing bad happened while she was in the presence of her parents. But we have to understand that Aaliyah was also emotionally immature in spite of being very intelligent just as all children her age are. teens will always test boundaries an think they know what is best for them. In the begging I think she fell into his web and believed she was in love but after he had control of her she didn’t know how to get out. Predators use threats, humiliation, and intimidation to maintain control through fear. Her parents immediately pulled her out from that situation and wanted to protect her from the public shaming and victim blaming that goes on with sexual abuse victims. People think they know the truth and speak out as if what they know are facts. I don’t know what happened but I do know the dynamics of sexual abuse and predators. Aaliyah was a victim. Periodt. Finally the predator is getting what he deserves. RIP babygirl and peace and blessings to her family and loved ones.
I really never understood her death . I feel like it was a set up and for people to say that Damon and Jay set up her death . Why would Damon kill his own girlfriend . If y’all don’t know something shut up
This death is really fishy now that we know about what went on with her and R Kelly and others in the industry. She might have been ready to snitch on these people.
Her death was defenitelty a set up . Going back on a small ass plane a day early , the pilot being a crackhead . Even Mary J Blige said it was a murder . I can’t Stand people that say Damon turned into a monster afrer she died . Well he lost the love if his life so yeah . Have some empathy for the man people .
In his own words Aaliyah was a martyr? Hmm, interesting choice of words? He seems like he is rushing the interview, no tears!? She was his sacriface, he was with rachel roy the wholetime he was Aaliyah. He tried to gain from her but Jay z went and took everything out from under him even his wife. So, this is him trying to save face. He made her get on that plane!
A martyr?! She didn't die for righteousness, for living like Jesus, for sharing the Gospel. She died as a sacrifice for her own fame and for worshiping people who she trusted more than God. A humble person doesn't exalt herself or accept praise and worship the way Aaliyah did.
Bitch shut up she did love the Lord GJESUS Christ Almighty she had her Mother and Father and son Brother with her entire career what are you talking about Bitch !?!?!?
@@OGSuicideTrill She died because it was her own fault, after the pilot told her not to go on (due to heavy luggage) she still didn't listen. She wanted to go see Dame Dash bitchass (SHE WAS SPRUNG OVER HIM) lil did she know he was cheating on her during that ROCK THE BOAT VIDEO SHOOT. Don't ask me how I know either.
JJ 51 why would Aaliyah get on a plane that she knew was overloaded when she’s always been terrified of planes?? You’re believing what the fake ass mainstream media put out. It wasn’t her fault. Let’s also add that it’s the pilots responsibility to stand his ground as a certified pilot. If the pilot knew that the plane was way overweight, he should have never let anybody board that plane based on flight protocol. And that’s just that. Think.
@@WatchYourMouth97 you was there?Then explain because if you want people to take you serious when All Aaliyah family & friends are saying weird stuff like this & not explaining anything
He was only with her for the money. He showed no emotion when she died. This video was shot a year after her death I'm sure if you loved someone you would cry talking about her.
Anonymous Female ur calling him a dumb fuck but that dumb fuck is right, www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/11-signs-someone-is-lying-2014-4 Theres a link to see all the signs that someone is lying, he has most of them Damon didnt give a fuck and its very obvious nothing hes saying in this interview is true, had he really cared he wouldnt be able to talk in an interview about her death only 5 months later, her death was a setup and he was a part of it.
Xxxx Fontain yep yo make Beyoncé wat she is smh so freaking sad RIP QUEEN AALIYAH YOU ARE MISSED I STILL CRY WATCHING MISS YOU VIDEOS AND MORE THAN A WOMAN MOVIE🙏🏾😢😢❤️
Aali-YAH is 1st & foremost a child of ABBA YAHUAH, this is why she was beautiful within herself and stunning in appearance. That's why I BELIEVE (dare I say it😱) Aali-YAH was MURDERED🙊. I BELIEVE this because, ALLEGEDLY, she had two powerful men courting her but Aali-YAH, DARED to be with the man SHE chose. In doing so Aali-YAH rejected one silent BUT powerful man who dwells among even more powerful & silent men, ALLEGEDLY🙊. After weighing in on the story the ALLEGED COURTING & THE SUSPICIOUS VIBE SURROUNDING HER DEATH. I SURMISED, THAT ONE MAN COULDN'T HANDLE THAT REJECTION & UTTER EGO PUNCH, AT LEAST NOT TO A MAN HE ALLEGEDLY DEEMED BENEATH HIM😲. Therefore, Aali-YAH (OUR SWEET BAD-ASS PRINCESS) HAD TO PAY FOR ALLEGEDLY SAID REJECTION & ULTIMATE HUMILIATION IN FRONT OF THE MASSES🙊😱😲. Again this is ALLEGED but I'VE ALWAYS FELT THIS WAY!🙊BECAUSE THEN IT MAKES SOME KIND OF SENSE😱😲 JUST SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT.... WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK?
+Larh124 Dame did not sacrifice Aaliyah he seems very depressed and still do. You can tell his love for her was genuine. He was happy to have her and I think he knows that he will never meet anybody like her.I think whites were jealous of Aaliyah and trying to promote Britany Spears.( got MJ out of the way too) I think Aaliyah was too pretty, smart, articulate ,classy and intelligent for the young black pop image. They control the black image and media anyway. They did not and do not want to promote a young black women who have those positive qualities and characteristics and she was drop dead gorgeous and talented on top of that. You cant have it all unless you are them..lol. She was just too much and gaining too much power and she dated black men. They can tolerate a very beautiful black women who dates white men(Halley Barry). I think if she dated white men she may still be alive. Aaliyah's image and the way she carried herself had appeal that was universal. It was too positive for black women. The image they want to portray for black women is usually opposite of Aaliyah. Non feminine, loud, ghetto, street, overly sexual. Either they are smart and intelligent not too gorgeous like Aaliyah yet have overly sexual image. Beyoncé is smart yet not as articulate or as interesting as Aaliyah. She is not too threatening but has an overly sexual image. Nikki is a buffoon like little Kim with overly sexual and disgusting horish behavior with fake breast huge fake butt.. Aaliyah was unique talented and knew who she was and so she appealed to everyone. She was real ,yet humble. She could have done a whole lot for the black image. Britany failed miserably with the swag and image stolen from Aaliyah and when Aaliyah died she was really lost because she didn't have anyone to copy.. I believe that Aaliyah's death was not an accident and I know Dame wasn't involved because he loved Aaliyah and her death is still effecting him to this very day .The music industry is crap and totally in your face with illuminati devil worship symbols fake mindless behavior reality shows and all of popular culture is just garbage.
+Larh124 Jay-Z throws up the Illuminati hand gesture more than anyone in the game and he benefited the most out of it. Dame is nobody now, Suge Knight with 2Pac, same thing.
That's bullshit he didn't love her. Its just an act. Ask yourself this Dame dash became more famous atffer she died. He didn't care if she died or not he don't love her. She did look happy in most of their picture s together.
+Potato Chip Jones lol rachel roy was his baby momma/ ex gf of course they had sex before but stimuatenously while dating aaliyah is questionable but wouldn't be shocked but lets not say its a fact
Lil Per Vert I gotta allot proof pics pay stubs i even got a chain from dame.He really help me and my son out allot.He even co sign on a townhouse for me.I meet my sons mom through Dame
Dash you need to stop using my bestfriend Aaliyah name knowing you didn’t have a sexual & platonic relationship with her, nor did Jay Z . Dash & Jayz was homeless and living out of state community center in the 1990’s-Y2K, everything from there lifestyle was FAKE. Aaliyah was in the process of suing Rockefeller & Def Jam records and everyone who socialize with Def Jam. She won the victory lawsuit against all of them before she passed away. Everyone who was against her authentic career & life story journey experience are exposed everyday in the public eye world-wild including fake ass celebrities who are still alive in USA. Dash you have one more time to create false stories of Aaliyah being afraid of flying overseas to follow her dreams & achieve her goals, promoting her music & acting career overseas, traveling abroad to exploring different cultures in-terms of art/fashion/beauty/food. She loved traveling around the Globe and exploring new cultures. The real story is when you first met Aaliyah, you were intimidated by her independence lifestyle, her realness attitude, and her beautiful personality. She didn’t need you for anything, you actually needed her help to get you out of serious situation dealing with your deep depression, drinking problems, gambling addiction, learning how to articulate your words and comprehension reading, and learning how to micromanage financial bankruptcy crisis. You, Jay-z, Puff Daddy, Lil Kim, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Quincy Jones daughter who was in so-called fake relationship with Tupac, and other fake celebrity entertainers have photoshopped Aaliyah pictures with you guys all in the original background knowing she never to pictures with you guys & you guys photoshopped Aaliyah original picture outfit’s,hairstyle, makeup, and body-part outline frame. I was her original photographer, I looked over all her pictures to give approvals for new business ventures and personal use purposes. You have always been afraid to fly abroad internationally as well over the historical world-wild oceans, you don’t know how to be authentic by exploring new adventures aspirational things. Remember you told lies of you owning & renting a house in London, UK and you never been there until May 2007.
Her death to this day is still a total shock worldwide. She will always be loved and missed RIP Aaliyah

Notice he called her a Martyr... my brother was killed and I never used such a term and he actually was murdered. Point being: if this is an accident who uses the term martyr? There’s something up with him, Jay Z, R Kelly and Aaliyah. It’s sad she had to be the one sacrificed
Amen
It was an accident. Stfu
Right a martyr is Someone killed because of their beliefs. Maybe she didn’t want to be apart of the Illuminati and got put down. Hollywood is evil
@@bktee8182 dude shut up
Omar Jr. shut up
So we just gonna act like he didn't say she was a "martyr"??? Y'all know what a martyr is?
M DuB 13 where does he say that???
3:00-3:01 wow wtf
Wow that’s crazy shessh I wonder what she believed in.
She believed in god Jesus and Christ. That’s why she got killed.
Brooklyn Bully - Arie Make Em Mad do you believe in the one true god? Just asking
Thanks, KlassicThrowback!
his song/Video Ghost with Ricky Vocals shows how much Dame & Aaliyah were in love
The early new year of 2002 ECKÕ unltd was still popular way back then
Not sure if Aaliyah was HIS sacrifice, but he never seems genuine when talking about her
supposedly with Rachel Roy before her and after she passed
How could she be his sacrifice? He lost everything after she passed. Now, I would believe that she could been Jay Z and Beyonce's sacrifice. Look how they blew up after her passing.
@@RosefromPittsburgh yes , she was killed because the plane was overcrowded. It could of been avoided , most sacrifices can't be
@@RosefromPittsburgh her uncle did it not Beyonce and Jay-z
@@RosefromPittsburgh it’s sad how y’all have this picture painted in your head that there can’t be two successful black women in the music industry. For one Aaliyah wanted to move on from music and do more movies she wanted to have a a career like Sade where she popped up every here and there she didn’t wanna be a big huge entertainer like how Beyoncé is rn anybody that speaks on Aaliyah says she’s very private. Stop with that sacrifice bs she passed away sadly because it was her time to go let her Rest In Peace.
Winter of 2002 ❤ Faulk Jersey is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
R. I. P Aaliyah
ughhh still here in 2021.
I'm not trusting his bullshit or anyone else's people know more than they're saying about what really happened to Aaliyah
What really happened to Aaliyah???
fr ion trust none of them too much until they tell us it all
@@QTTR88 her death was planned.
Sacrifice but u won’t believe me
A lot of yall slow and it shows
He wipes his eyes...where the tears at Damo!
Exactly. Didn’t he have a baby soon after she died?
RIP Aaliyah
Martyr- a person who is killed because of their religious beliefs. Or sacrifice to go against their religious beliefs.
We never gonna know the truth behind this situtaion..... shady ass people are littered in the entertainment industry
19 years later and it still weighs on my mind. The fact that her music has vanished off of shelves is extremely irritating. Her uncle needs punched in his mouth!!!
I mean. It is sad. I have to listen to it from youtube.
@@Dreamsareareality they keep flagging those too the faster there put up the faster there taken down
we finally got it
Wow did Y’all peep he almost said “it’s just business!” At 1:03 SMH wow yea this was definitely a sacrifice set up all the above 🤦🏾♀️
Fatima T good catch
Stfu
😂😂 sis get a hearing aid. He said “it’s been very strengthening for
me”
Fatima T are you deaf.... that’s not what he said.
@@tinaamariee832 no he hurried to correct his self, he did start to say “it’s just business”
He’ll never get over this and I understand.
😢 I don't like you adlibbin Dame! I don't think she was gonna marry you at no time dude! Too beautiful and classy for you! She was about to make a lot of changes b4 she passed and you were one of them! RIP Baby Girl❤❤!
Great interview.
Why does this video look do old it's only 2002, I've seen better quality in 90s videos.
1:03 tells a lot I seen videos where he got his words twisted up. She won’t rest until the truth is out.
The People are the best Judge. We see it but we can’t bring these bastards to justice same way in every other similar cases, we all knew what really happened just by observing and letting the guilty ones hang them selves.
he said he cant look, hear anything with her
Jada Cole but yet he can do a hole interview only 5 months later and not shed one tear, hes a fake
Happy b day aaliyah
When watching the latest ET interview in 2021, you can tell a part of him will forever be broken and there was so much pain and anger in his face.
Whats he wiping? Fuckery
Come noww he talking with his head dwn
What?
yo ya as dont sound right shut tf up just shut tf up
I heard he did it
They all was in on it did you hear him say it's just business at 1:03
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT DJ STAR PLAYING AIRPLANE EXPLOSION EFFECTS, WHEN HE WAS LIKE FLAGRANT AND TREACHEROUS.
Blueprint 2001 dame is a pure sellout BITCH
I think they were more friends than lovers.
Nicki Flowers oh Please stop
they were i think. He was trying to show her how to be an entrepreneur. she wanted to get away from being tied to her uncle. Damon said on video they hung out and u wasnt gonna have sex with. He was dating her french model friend and she was dating his cousin stacey dash. look at the photos she mostly with stacey on them not with him. She liked hom just like she liked everybody else as friends. Their photos she looks uncomfortable hugging him but he supposed to be her boyfriend. That was a friendship/ business type relationship. He lied and they were getting married but later said they wasnt. they supposed to been dating for a year but if they was in engaged then why she say in her dream interview. When she finds the man shes looking for she will marry him? but she already engaged. He said she was his homeboy, his lil dude. He said that cause Aaliyah was a lesbian. She was a tomboy but she couldn't be open with it no more than just dressing like a dude. She had to look more like a woman. Anyway he was the one that kept rushing her to get on the plane. She was on her way to do a remix with freeway and just blaze tbey say dame set up that session. Her uncle told them folks to overload that plane cause he didnt want her to leave and go with dame and his label rockafella. In order to keep her royalties she had to be deceased so he could continue to get them. She didnt know it was overloaded cause her parents won the lawsuit against hype williams. hype people rented that plane to save money. Her uncle is a lawyer and got sued for taking tim, toni Braxton, j dubb etc. money. She just wanted to get away from the family label. weeks before she died she had that dream so she knew something was gonna happen to her. She died behind greedy people.
Shawn wtf are you talking about? Why do you think you know her sexuality? I'm just asking. There was no proof of her being gay, straight, or whatever. However there was more proof to show she was a hetero-sexual.
Miillie Mesh thats the side they wanted the public to see. At that time people wasnt coming out saying they were gay like they are now. She couldnt be open in the public llike that. You took time out to pin point that one little thing? So her relationship can be talked about as long as its with a man but cant if she liked women? either way gay or straight her relationship is still being discussed. people still gossiping about her being with dame and jay z. When dame says in another video she was friends with both of them. Dame says she would date u and be your friend but u wasnt gonna hit that that was his experience with her. youtube damon dash called jay knew aaliyah first. Listen to what ge says about her. He didnt get any either. He says she was like his dude, his homie, his lil man. What do u think he mean when he says that? cause he didnt even have to say that. She friendzoned alot of men he says. I wonder why she did that to all of them all them years as pretty as she was. She didnt want none of them. Some of them were handsome. Tim, static all of them liked her but she turned them into the friends too ijs. i dont take a rocket scientist to figure that out. She was a tomboy and her family got a fragrance out now thats a combination of colognes she wore that leans masculine to go with her tomboy.
Miillie Mesh I bet u don't believe she was a tomboy either. Look at her early pictures then go to UA-cam radio interview aaliyah hot 97 Angie martinez. She talks about being a tomboy herself. Most tomboy like girls. Her staff and best friend kidada said in articles that she was a tomboy.
An angel. Great guy.
he shady
may55 PERIOD, he very clearly lying very clearly !
Yes! I believe that her parents raised her with love and supported her in her career. It makes me mad when I hear people talk bad about her parents not protecting her from a pedophile. Even the best parents can’t always protect their children from evil. They have trust and faith in their children not to make bad decisions because of how they train them at home, I don’t know how many times I heard “my child would never do this or that!”. But a sexual predator is very manipulative and invests a lot if time grooming the victim and those close to her so he can have access to her. How many “trusted” people in power have been accused of wrongdoing? Rumors may exist but sometimes people will only believe a grain of truth and don’t fully understand how dangerous these predators are. They have conditioned people around them to cover their tracks so they become enablers sometimes unknowingly until it’s too late. Aaliyah was very mature for her age and had a sensual side to her that got exploited. I’m certain that nothing bad happened while she was in the presence of her parents. But we have to understand that Aaliyah was also emotionally immature in spite of being very intelligent just as all children her age are. teens will always test boundaries an think they know what is best for them. In the begging I think she fell into his web and believed she was in love but after he had control of her she didn’t know how to get out. Predators use threats, humiliation, and intimidation to maintain control through fear. Her parents immediately pulled her out from that situation and wanted to protect her from the public shaming and victim blaming that goes on with sexual abuse victims. People think they know the truth and speak out as if what they know are facts. I don’t know what happened but I do know the dynamics of sexual abuse and predators. Aaliyah was a victim. Periodt. Finally the predator is getting what he deserves. RIP babygirl and peace and blessings to her family and loved ones.
“Dynamical”
I really never understood her death . I feel like it was a set up and for people to say that Damon and Jay set up her death . Why would Damon kill his own girlfriend . If y’all don’t know something shut up
This death is really fishy now that we know about what went on with her and R Kelly and others in the industry. She might have been ready to snitch on these people.
Well yeah she died a year before r Kelly trial in 2002
how is this 2000 if Aaliyah died in 2001
Thanks for catching my typo. It was supposed to say 2002.
now worries
It says 2002
💙
Her death was defenitelty a set up . Going back on a small ass plane a day early , the pilot being a crackhead . Even Mary J Blige said it was a murder . I can’t Stand people that say Damon turned into a monster afrer she died . Well he lost the love if his life so yeah . Have some empathy for the man people .
He was cute
In his own words Aaliyah was a martyr? Hmm, interesting choice of words? He seems like he is rushing the interview, no tears!? She was his sacriface, he was with rachel roy the wholetime he was Aaliyah. He tried to gain from her but Jay z went and took everything out from under him even his wife. So, this is him trying to save face. He made her get on that plane!
Dnez44901 finally someone who can read between the lines !!!
I can't see Dame with a martyr
Feel bad for damon
😭
Bruh hold on. He say that same line everytime 🤨
Hmmmmm somethings giving the answer in his interviews on something. Something not right lol. Tbh
A martyr?! She didn't die for righteousness, for living like Jesus, for sharing the Gospel. She died as a sacrifice for her own fame and for worshiping people who she trusted more than God. A humble person doesn't exalt herself or accept praise and worship the way Aaliyah did.
+jdfodio she was humble
U didn’t even know her so stop
Bitch shut up she did love the Lord GJESUS Christ Almighty she had her Mother and Father and son Brother with her entire career what are you talking about Bitch !?!?!?
💙 you can see Aaliyah in him 💙
Her death was a set up, Dame Dash, do you care to explain?????
He married rachel after that plus she was pregnant with AVA during that time in 2000
,28 loves n he is so decent loves.
I dislike this guy. I don’t think he is genuine
Aaliyah wasn't no damn martyr, somebody who was a Martyr was Nat Turner !
how was she not? She died for her religious beliefs. Who do you think runs Hollywood and the entertainment industry??
@@OGSuicideTrill She died because it was her own fault, after the pilot told her not to go on (due to heavy luggage) she still didn't listen. She wanted to go see Dame Dash bitchass (SHE WAS SPRUNG OVER HIM) lil did she know he was cheating on her during that ROCK THE BOAT VIDEO SHOOT. Don't ask me how I know either.
JJ 51 why would Aaliyah get on a plane that she knew was overloaded when she’s always been terrified of planes?? You’re believing what the fake ass mainstream media put out. It wasn’t her fault. Let’s also add that it’s the pilots responsibility to stand his ground as a certified pilot. If the pilot knew that the plane was way overweight, he should have never let anybody board that plane based on flight protocol. And that’s just that. Think.
JJ 51 Sure you were
@@WatchYourMouth97 you was there?Then explain because if you want people to take you serious when All Aaliyah family & friends are saying weird stuff like this & not explaining anything
DAMON DASH ALWAYS WAS GREAT LIAR HE WAS NOT IN THE SPEED OF AALIYAH SINGER
Is that mean he really wasn’t in love her ??
He was only with her for the money. He showed no emotion when she died. This video was shot a year after her death I'm sure if you loved someone you would cry talking about her.
Billzloveschelsea first of all, people grieve in different ways. you don't know him personally, and i don't either. so quit judging you dumb fuck.
Anonymous Female ur calling him a dumb fuck but that dumb fuck is right, www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/11-signs-someone-is-lying-2014-4
Theres a link to see all the signs that someone is lying, he has most of them Damon didnt give a fuck and its very obvious nothing hes saying in this interview is true, had he really cared he wouldnt be able to talk in an interview about her death only 5 months later, her death was a setup and he was a part of it.
Xxxx Fontain yep yo make Beyoncé wat she is smh so freaking sad RIP QUEEN AALIYAH YOU ARE MISSED I STILL CRY WATCHING MISS YOU VIDEOS AND MORE THAN A WOMAN MOVIE🙏🏾😢😢❤️
Hmm a martyr huh 🤔
Aali-YAH is 1st & foremost a child of ABBA YAHUAH, this is why she was beautiful within herself and stunning in appearance. That's why I BELIEVE (dare I say it😱) Aali-YAH was MURDERED🙊. I BELIEVE this because, ALLEGEDLY, she had two powerful men courting her but Aali-YAH, DARED to be with the man SHE chose. In doing so Aali-YAH rejected one silent BUT powerful man who dwells among even more powerful & silent men, ALLEGEDLY🙊. After weighing in on the story the ALLEGED COURTING & THE SUSPICIOUS VIBE SURROUNDING HER DEATH. I SURMISED, THAT ONE MAN COULDN'T HANDLE THAT REJECTION & UTTER EGO PUNCH, AT LEAST NOT TO A MAN HE ALLEGEDLY DEEMED BENEATH HIM😲. Therefore, Aali-YAH (OUR SWEET BAD-ASS PRINCESS) HAD TO PAY FOR ALLEGEDLY SAID REJECTION & ULTIMATE HUMILIATION IN FRONT OF THE MASSES🙊😱😲. Again this is ALLEGED but I'VE ALWAYS FELT THIS WAY!🙊BECAUSE THEN IT MAKES SOME KIND OF SENSE😱😲 JUST SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT.... WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK?
It was not Dame Dash who sacrificed her it was Jay Z.
+Larh124 Dame did not sacrifice Aaliyah he seems very depressed and still do. You can tell his love for her was genuine. He was happy to have her and I think he knows that he will never meet anybody like her.I think whites were jealous of Aaliyah and trying to promote Britany Spears.( got MJ out of the way too) I think Aaliyah was too pretty, smart, articulate ,classy and intelligent for the young black pop image. They control the black image and media anyway. They did not and do not want to promote a young black women who have those positive qualities and characteristics and she was drop dead gorgeous and talented on top of that. You cant have it all unless you are them..lol. She was just too much and gaining too much power and she dated black men. They can tolerate a very beautiful black women who dates white men(Halley Barry). I think if she dated white men she may still be alive. Aaliyah's image and the way she carried herself had appeal that was universal. It was too positive for black women. The image they want to portray for black women is usually opposite of Aaliyah. Non feminine, loud, ghetto, street, overly sexual. Either they are smart and intelligent not too gorgeous like Aaliyah yet have overly sexual image. Beyoncé is smart yet not as articulate or as interesting as Aaliyah. She is not too threatening but has an overly sexual image. Nikki is a buffoon like little Kim with overly sexual and disgusting horish behavior with fake breast huge fake butt.. Aaliyah was unique talented and knew who she was and so she appealed to everyone. She was real ,yet humble. She could have done a whole lot for the black image. Britany failed miserably with the swag and image stolen from Aaliyah and when Aaliyah died she was really lost because she didn't have anyone to copy.. I believe that Aaliyah's death was not an accident and I know Dame wasn't involved because he loved Aaliyah and her death is still effecting him to this very day .The music industry is crap and totally in your face with illuminati devil worship symbols fake mindless behavior reality shows and all of popular culture is just garbage.
+Larh124 Jay-Z throws up the Illuminati hand gesture more than anyone in the game and he benefited the most out of it. Dame is nobody now, Suge Knight with 2Pac, same thing.
I truly believe that. Dame lost everything after her death and Jay and Bey blew up!
He's still mess up to this day. He does not seem happy on Growing Up Hip Hop.
mmhuh
Hes so obviously lying it makes me sick to my stomach
Xxxx Fontain what you mean?
Nigga wearing a St. Louis Rams jersey
and???
That's bullshit he didn't love her. Its just an act. Ask yourself this Dame dash became more famous atffer she died. He didn't care if she died or not he don't love her. She did look happy in most of their picture s together.
I heard that he was cheating on her with Rachael Roy and having sex with groupies.
+Potato Chip Jones lol rachel roy was his baby momma/ ex gf of course they had sex before but stimuatenously while dating aaliyah is questionable but wouldn't be shocked but lets not say its a fact
roxzs mavian I know but he did say Aaliyah always let him "do his thing". What could that mean?
Mike Mike
What proof you got nigga
Lil Per Vert I gotta allot proof pics pay stubs i even got a chain from dame.He really help me and my son out allot.He even co sign on a townhouse for me.I meet my sons mom through Dame
I love love
Dash you need to stop using my bestfriend Aaliyah name knowing you didn’t have a sexual & platonic relationship with her, nor did Jay Z . Dash & Jayz was homeless and living out of state community center in the 1990’s-Y2K, everything from there lifestyle was FAKE. Aaliyah was in the process of suing Rockefeller & Def Jam records and everyone who socialize with Def Jam. She won the victory lawsuit against all of them before she passed away. Everyone who was against her authentic career & life story journey experience are exposed everyday in the public eye world-wild including fake ass celebrities who are still alive in USA. Dash you have one more time to create false stories of Aaliyah being afraid of flying overseas to follow her dreams & achieve her goals, promoting her music & acting career overseas, traveling abroad to exploring different cultures in-terms of art/fashion/beauty/food. She loved traveling around the Globe and exploring new cultures. The real story is when you first met Aaliyah, you were intimidated by her independence lifestyle, her realness attitude, and her beautiful personality. She didn’t need you for anything, you actually needed her help to get you out of serious situation dealing with your deep depression, drinking problems, gambling addiction, learning how to articulate your words and comprehension reading, and learning how to micromanage financial bankruptcy crisis. You, Jay-z, Puff Daddy, Lil Kim, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Quincy Jones daughter who was in so-called fake relationship with Tupac, and other fake celebrity entertainers have photoshopped Aaliyah pictures with you guys all in the original background knowing she never to pictures with you guys & you guys photoshopped Aaliyah original picture outfit’s,hairstyle, makeup, and body-part outline frame. I was her original photographer, I looked over all her pictures to give approvals for new business ventures and personal use purposes. You have always been afraid to fly abroad internationally as well over the historical world-wild oceans, you don’t know how to be authentic by exploring new adventures aspirational things. Remember you told lies of you owning & renting a house in London, UK and you never been there until May 2007.
