Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the death of Aaliyah, and it brought back all kinds of emotions for a lot of people.
One of those being her boyfriend at the time of her death, Dame Dash.
The two met in the summer of 200o and dated until she passed the next year.
With this being the 20th anniversary, Dame spoke with Entertainment Tonight about their relationship and how he was upset with director Hype Williams over Aaliyah’s passing because of her fear of flying.
“When she actually saw the plane… She said ‘I don’t like this plane.’ I was like, ‘Well, don’t get on it.’ She was like, ‘Well, I got to because I got work to do.'”
“She got on the plane and she always had a very serious fear of planes in general, so she had to overcome a fear to get on that plane on the way there. But what I was really more tight about was that I had heard that Lenny Kravitz had offered her a jet and that Hype had took the jet. So, that’s what really pissed me off about the situation when I heard about that. You can ask Hype about that.”
It is messed up, but I’m sure Hype has had a lot of guilt for it. He just has probably had to learn to live with it.
