Aaliyah's legacy continue to influence a lot of artist including ciara and beyonce and many more some people may not like R kelly he was the one that discovered her and made her a star I give him credit for it.
very true. they're trying so hard to sit as far away from each as possible and not touch each other because they don't want the media to know their little "secrete"
This interview was actually very telling. When the female interviewer asked Aaliyah if they were related or in a relationship, Aaliyah was quick to clarify that they weren't related but doesn't actually DENY that they were in a relationship. This is strange considering everybody knew she was very young. Also, according to R Kelly here, why would Aaliyah be telling her friend that "age ain't nothing but a number" if she was dating guys her own age? It would make no sense for her to say something like this if she was dating another 15 year old. She was most likely referring to her relationship with R Kelly. They actually revealed a lot without saying nothing at all!!
Girls like powerful men, especially when they are so young, it makes them feel protected and they look up to them. She didn't know what she was doing... besides, her mother said she had sex appeal at 11 so she must've thought if no one around is opposing this strange relationship, then it's ok what's happening. This is where adults need to interfere because we adults can see through... but I bet the adults around her were blinded by his power and influence
Damn the 90’s were crazy… nobody said anything about this? A grown ass man hanging out with a 15 year old on live television and in music videos. Bloody hell that would not fly today, and thank god for that
She didn't wanna tell them her age! Because she had just said she was best friends with a grown ass man. She was 14 who would allow their young daughter to spend so much time with a grown ass man?
So we just gonna sit here and pretend that this almost 30 yr old man was not sleeping with this 15 yr old girl??? This interviewer asking if they're dating like that's normal...
Lubbylove89 but they both gave consent. they loved each other. and all around the world people do this. im not advocating pedophilea but both seemed to luv each other
CLEARLY they were in a relationship! Matching outfits. She wouldn't disclose her real age. When asked were they a couple, she never answered but referred to Kells as her "best friend". Also, did anybody catch R. Kelly's comment when they were in the studio together he said "I don't remember us ever "working" ? Suspect. She was 15 & he was 27-28 yrs old...hot mess!
bff's b/w diff sexes is a whole other realm w/in itself.... yep I don't believe that either. She added in the whole wide world, that's how u know something went down!!
They were already married by this point. Peep their wedding bands. She's even playing with hers. And I noticed how she dodged that question too. She didn't deny or confirm anything, she just went in and said "we're very close". R Kelly is one sick ass muthafucka.
Love the way she smiles when she says the meaning of her name 'the highest, most exalted one, the best' like 'Yessss, and Imma prove it'. She really did. She really proved that she'll always be ONE IN A MILLION.
I was 7 years old, watching this with my brother (11), and my two girl cousins (13 & 15) and during this interview I swear I could feel the oddness in the air from the interview. 28 years later and it for real still feels creepy. Smh.
Did anyone else catch R. Kelly's joke at 0:26? When Aaliyah is asked if they're dating he says "I better go get me a white jeep." He is referring to the infamous O.J. Simpson police chase in the white Bronco. This interview is from August 1994, just a few months after that incident. R. Kelly is joking that because Aaliyah is underage he's going to have to run from the police. The fact is they had been involved for a while at this point. Later that month on August 31, they secretly got married because Aaliyah was pregnant.
I did hear him say white jeep but then got distracted trying to hear Aaliyah's answer and never went back to analyze his statement. Thank you for pointing that out
When she said He’s my best friend.. he said in the whole wide world, then she repeated him simultaneously. Idk if that’s some 50 shades of gray shit but that was a lil weird lol
People on here are actually mad because other people are condemning a man known for being a sexual predator for having a relationship with a 15 year old girl? Astounding.
The U.S has a long history of Pedaphilla, it happens in slavery, Native American cultures did it, white ppl did it too you had teenage girls marrying and fucking men 21 and older hell your grandparents or great grand parents might've done . If that's the case 90% of the population should be punished. But I guess since rkelly is black and famous he has to be the poster child for the situation I see
Please. Don't act like this is not commonplace in the black community... I don't know if it's a common with whites, but I've had black men try to talk to me since I was 13. And when I was 13, I LOOKED 13.. Ponytail, baggy jeans, t shirts. Grown ass men would try to talk to me on the street, even pulling over their cars. This is why R. Kelly was so bold as to marry a 15 year old, then video tape sex with a 14 year old.
Maybe you lived in a strange neighborhood but you should not be trying to present this as if it's somehow common in Black community when it surely isn't.
John Tuckey I love it when teens, especially younger teens, are smart. Despite the stereotypes surrounding teens, I love it when they outsmart the adults who belittle them and treat them like their stupid. Lol I used to be one of those kids until I became too laid back in high school and I can only wish to be as smart and articulate as Aaliyah was.
Aaliyah was a beautiful and well spoken young lady. She and R. Kelly created timeless music together. There is no denying their chemistry but as the adult in the situation he should have respected her and kept their relationship professional until she was old enough to consent.
Kendall Foreman Where did I say they were married? Though there was a marriage certificate. If there was no marriage then there would have been no need to have it annulled. Also, When Aaliyah was 18 she had the courts expunge the documents. This is all well documented.
Kendall Foreman There is proof they were married, no need denying when there are receipts. You probably don't believe they had a sexual relationship either even knowing R. Kelly's history with minors.
Very weird she didn’t want to reveal her age. Now we know why. I wish this video could be analyzed by a professional. But it really doesn’t take a professional to see what’s going on here.
Omg she was soooo soft spoken! You can barely hear her in this interview. And im sorry, but R, Rob, Ark, Art, whatever the fuck your name is, he is soooo creepy for taking advantage of a teenager. She was 15 and he was 27! Omg he is disgusting.
Bitch stfu speaking on shit you don't know nothing about. You don't even know the nigga's name, you probably weren't even born when it happened, but wanna jump on the bandwagon now. I'm only one year younger than Aaliyah, I grew up a fan of both of them and saw the situation in real time. Kellz and Liyah were very close, they were best friends. She was there for him when his mom died. They went everywhere together and Aaliyah called R. Kelly her best friend in every interview. The media made the situation more than what it was. Nobody knows what R. Kelly & Aaliyah's relationship was but them. Everything you hear is speculation, quit drinking the koolaid the media is force feeding you.
Im 28 honey. I grew up with aaliyah. And if you really see nothing wrong with 27 year old and and 15 year old hanging out. And btw they got married. Then I think you need to re evaluate your life. You're just as sick and diluted as he is. Sickos Destiny Williams *****
Unless your name is R. Kelly or Aaliyah, you don't know what their relationship was so quit judging and making assumptions. Of course they were hanging out, they were recording her album. That's what you do when you work with someone. And you obviously don't know his name cause you said "whatever the fuck your name is" don't back track now cause you got called out on it. I never claimed to know everything about her, but I clearly know more about her than you do.
G Marie your a psycho, why are you talking about shit that is old as hell??? Talk about some current shit... and Michael Jackson wasn't any better, he was just as sick...
Check the body language between them!!! That says more than any questions she tried to dodge about them being in a relationship!!! She was smitten by him.
Celebrity Predictions no your fuckin stupid profile picture does... So fuck off troll... And respect the legend of RnB... Bitch... Just shut your mouth
Kelly shouted her out on She's Got That Vibe near the end "little cute Aaliyah's got it". The song was recorded in '91 and released in '92. She would have been 12/13 years old. Her uncle helped produce the track. Maybe they thought it was cute because she may have had a young girl crush, but it's really disturbing and sick.
EW that is sick! well it is what it is. I'm not condoning his discrepancies but r kelly is too a victium of sexual abuse which explains his crimes against underage girls.
I ca't believe r kelly got away with this with no consequences...they're matching...her first album is an open letter about their relationship...she was 15!?!?!? LOL wow. This whole interview is just oozing of their relationship. They can't even hide it well.
Because it was basically a confrontation in disguise . It was good they asked those questions instead of ignoring them and just talked music because It exposed alot of secrets back then
It’s so weird that they were so close and it was a 15 year difference. We all know they was more than friends. They knew it was wrong but honestly, I don’t think they really cared.
Its obvious they were in a close relationship! They dressed alike, she looked at her left ring finger not long after the question of their relation, he's wearing a wedding band, she doesn't want to disclose her age, & he said when he went to hear her sing, he didn't even have to hear her sing to know she was it; but when she did sing it only confirmed it! Like she said on one of her late show interviews she even at 10 she had some sex appeal about her! Ok know that we have that clear, she was still beautiful, soft spoken, inspirational, & talented! She died too soon & will forever be missed!!! Now let's remember her and not focus on that relationship that Wendell resurfaced with that wack ass bogus ass movie!!!
0:34 Notice how R. Kelly corrected Aaliyah when she called him her best friend. He coached her to say "in the whole wide world" to deflect allegations of sexual abuse.
That was not him coaching her that was a question he was not being controlling YALL are really reaching it was him kind of being cute and playful with her as normal couples do he is not this monster yal try and make him out to be these grown ass women had choices. Make the stories that keep changing make sense he chains them up but let’s them out to go shop and buy shoes!!!!!
@@AB-rm2zu and she had parents that saw nothing wrong with what she was doing. This particular 15 year old had her own apartment in a whole different state than her parents. There was a time there would have been no crime with what he did it was normal to marry off ya 15 year old to some 25 and older man I’m pretty sure half the folks on here commenting had a grandfather who married a grandmother with this same age gap and didn’t call them pedophiles. If her parents didn’t have a problem and as long as he wasn’t kicking her ass then nobody else should say a word
Her parents shouldve taken care of her more and not let her be with him..maybe it wouldve taken longer for her to be famous but she was talented so it wouldve been a matter of time. And maybe she would still be Alive💔
Diane shouldn't trusted Barry Hankerson her brother, especially when he co written words in R Kelly songs like ( vibe, little Aaliyah's got it) ( Aaliyah you're the only one for me) (and age ain't nothing but a number). R Kelly had no control when Barry was the owner and the manager cowriter uncle and brother. vs R Kelly being homeless and hungry and unexperienced. he was damned if he did and damned if he dident.
bbygrlpt2 I know this comment is old, but I totally agree. I've grown to feel that R.Kelly wasn't the only culpable party in this. Her parents should've been more vigilant. There's no way in hell I would've allowed my 15 year old daughter to spend most of her time with a grown man, even for the sake of "mentoring". And that uncle of hers....my goodness. He just comes across as pernicious; even his ex-wife Gladys Knight once said that he struck her as "evil" the first time they met (though this does nothing to explain why she still married him later on). I've actually come to feel that he had something to do with Aaliyah's death, but I suppose that's another topic for another day..
This nigga R. Kelly said: "Some call me Arch, some call me Art. Some call me (nervously say's) Rob! Age ain't nothing but a number girl". Boy if you don't! Lmaoooooo 😂😂😂
I blame R-kelly Aaliyah was only 15 and very impressionable, even if she did make a move on him he should've been mature enough to set her straight and be like "hey we can't do that" at the very least he could've waited until she was of age but one good thing did come of their relationship her having to find a new producer and meeting Tim and Missy.
exactly , you can tell how impressionable she is and how most girls are at that age , half the girls i meet who are even like 19 or 20 are still like that it's just not right they haven't even come inot their own yet.
damn, i met girls who were 15 fucking their fitness coach of 38, i was shocked, so it could be verywell her moves... but yeah a mature enough man should say no, but maybe she can make it worse and say he raped her or shit like that, so he went with it
Allandra Adams that's what happens when you have the celebrity complex Prince had it Michael Jackson had it all you hear is yes yes yes for everything else so why is this the one thing that's no it's not right it's no justification for it but yeah
Considering he was having an inappropriate relationship with a 15 year old Aaliyah... He was probably afraid that something might slip out or that the interviewers might get suspicious.
Ok tyga can't message a teen singer about her career without us flipping out on him, but this guy can prance around with babygirl making sexual music with her & wearing twin outfits...this was cool how & why????
Damn are they wearing full Iceberg jumpsuits? That's dope. I could be wrong. But that's dat 90's shit I grew up on. Fuckin R.Kelly is a pervert. He says "I got to detroit, and I saw her. She was growing up. I didn't even have to hear her sing". So then it was her 15 year old looks? Damn
Interviewer: "So where did the title of the album come from?" Aaliyah: -complete silence- R Kelly knows he made up that wack as story on the spot! He wrote the album! Clearly the title was a message to Aaliyah .......
he just jumped in and answered the question for her when she was asked "how did you come up with the song age aint nothing but a number?" as if he was tyring to prevent her from saying the wrong thing. what a perv!
The chemistry between them was undeniable. U can feel it through the screen! She seem so infatuated and in awe of the R. Even though he was wrong for what he did to her. U can't deny the chemistry on wax. She sounded her best and happiest with him. U know Big Lez knew. She is not stupid...lol
She got that vibe😔...he said "lil cute Aaliyah's got it "I knew then, and me and Aaliyah is the same age.We were 12-13 at the time that song and album was out. smfh
The fact her family allowed this to happen and he like her since she was 12 just makes the whole thing completely sick. I wish someone round her didn't put her round R Kelly just so she could become famous as Aaliyah was so talented she could have made it anyway. He now is where he belongs behind behind bars.
NewWorldRob it was deeper than just waiting. Dude had a deep emotional issues. He likes control and has to be in charge. If they waited she would have been smarter and have more autonomy...exactly what a guy like him does NOT want. He was very infantile and emotionally imature thats why he could not deal with grown women his own age. Aaliyah mentally was on his immature wave.
Very reserved but... she enjoyed being in the company of older men. Knowledgeable, entertaining and protective as they enjoyed her innocence, talent and body. She matured way too early... You can she the mystery behind her eyes
Poor child......it was LOTS of OLDER men in the music industry .....that would not let this poor girl breathe.... may her SOUL finally REST in PEACE.. 😅😮😢😮😅😮😢😮
so talented, why did she have to go so soon?? I would have loved to see the future she would have had. I love her so much. so much more mature than her years.
You can definitely hear that they have MAJOR chemistry together; it's undeniable. Disgusting how he illegally married Aaliyah (as she was only 15 years old), BUT clearly she felt mutual feelings for R. Kelly and allowed him to marry her/do things with her. 👍
Hailey Michelle she didn't want to her uncle is the one who suggested it to her parents all to allow her to be famous the dirty uncle who made R Kelly groom her, the music industry is deeper than most think Aliyah wasn't happy even DMX who was her best friend exposed R kelly about that, he even said that T kelly was manipulating her and other women of her age and that that's why he can never rate R kelly X is so real but people never take him seriously 😒 just like when he said that Jay z is demonic people just listened then let it get out the other ear👂 R Kelly been grooming lil'kids and Aliyah started waking up just go back and listen to her song more than a woman listen to the lyrics ironic how she dies after making that album in the song she states that they said they allowed her because of her uncle and that she'd soon have to follow but that doesn't scare her she believes in god and that she's more than a woman when I listened to that song rewinded it over and over again I understood she was tired of being told what to do and her family were the cause pushing her to try sell her soul that plane ✈️ incident wasn't an accident because even her mother told her to don't take that plane she knew they was going to punish her daughter for not joining the demonic world of that industry (illumination world of their's) #facts R.I.P to the real queen 👸 of Rnb #Aliyah 🙏🏽
Gerrilla Goons TV why do people make long ass paragraphs!? Split it up in different paragraphs, damn! Lol I can't even read this cause it's overwhelmingly long, yet I read a lot of books. I just don't expect to find paragraphs like yours in a comment section, it makes me so tired lol
Those interviewers could tell they was together…..they knew ….. but back in the 90s everyone kept their mouth shut…. It’s was so sad….. so many girls were with older men back then…. I love Aaliyah so much I don’t hold the past against her
The reason people kept their mouths shut about this was because they knew those girls were just loose and weren't innocent at all. Young girls always chase after older men. It's been that way since the beginning of time. If my daughter ever pulls any mess like that when she becomes a teenager, she's out of my house. I'm not raising any babies that I didn't birth.
Albeit unconventional but one can’t deny they were clearly in love and in fact he was correct when they were together it was in fact magical. If only he were not such a damaged and broken individual they really could have have a long lasting and fairytale like relationship I’ve seen some footage of them walking into a practice holding hands her parents were quite aware of their relationship and had no problem with it until it became public knowledge and began to threaten her career then it became time to do damage control, but they still continued to date in secret hence the matching jewelry they wore off and on until the day she died. She loved that man until the day she died she may have dated other people cause his ass couldn’t get it together cause he was a damn cheat but she was still in love with him as he was with her he just thought he had time to get the playboy out then go back and claim her when he was ready to settle down
@@latishacline3838 I heard he locked himself away crying in his closet for a week after she died. R Kelly is a narcissist and probably a sex addict, but I don't think he treated Aaliyah like he did the other women he controlled and abused. I think he genuinely loved her and wanted to see her shine, but he was still wrong for pursuing her as a minor.
@@tonicarter1322 it’s not just black and white I was told she actually initiated the situation she kind of got real up close and personal letting him know she wanted him. He wasn’t interested in the beginning it was strictly business but once she captured his attention she kept it. They continued to see each other in secret they wore matching jewelry for a long time even after she made one in a million. She wore a taz medallion and an r Kelly 12 play posed medallion forever
It's plain to see that he is messed up in the head, breathing all hard! She is clearly a child trying to be grown, wearing matching outfits with this grown Pervert. How do the parents think this is okay!?
It’s funny u say that cuz aaliyah was still more covered up wearing baggy clothes while Beyoncé was wearing inappropriate and less clothing than Aaliyah when she was her age.. Beyoncé looked very grown to me at 16.

And their body language is very comfortable...
Not to mention the part where they ask about her favorite movies n Rkelly said what it was to me that was suspect as well

Why would the parents of a 15yr old teenage girl allow her to be best friends with a 27yr old man?
money! Alot of kids in hollywood pushed in by parents for money, no matter the true cost of their kids life and morals
You are correct. Many people do not understand this fact.
I heard she went and got married under the legal age and her parents had the marriage annulled

R Kelly really made her wear the same outfit as him smh ..... sick!!!!!
no he didn't. she also wore matched outfits with timbaland and other of her friends. she always liked doing it.
R. Kelly was very controlling
People on here are actually mad because other people are condemning a man known for being a sexual predator for having a relationship with a 15 year old girl? Astounding.
Exactly but this goes on around the world everyday and people keep their mouth shut isn't it ironic ?
Why get mad on something that happened 21 yr ago though??? That's my question shitt
Charles Turner Because a heinous act is still a heinous act no matter how long ago it happened.
The U.S has a long history of Pedaphilla, it happens in slavery, Native American cultures did it, white ppl did it too you had teenage girls marrying and fucking men 21 and older hell your grandparents or great grand parents might've done . If that's the case 90% of the population should be punished. But I guess since rkelly is black and famous he has to be the poster child for the situation I see
***** Um I consider grooming a girl as a preteen and marrying her at 15 a heinous act. Not being "over dramatic".
How da fuck did r kelly get away with this shit?....yall no what I mean
because hes r Kelly . the average nigga would have been locked up
Please. Don't act like this is not commonplace in the black community... I don't know if it's a common with whites, but I've had black men try to talk to me since I was 13.

She was pretty mature for a 15 year old. I would've thought she was in her mid 20s.
+John Tuckey I did think she was pretty mature for her age, but I didn't think she was THAT old(maybe late teens, like 18 or 19).
John Tuckey I love it when teens, especially younger teens, are smart. Despite the stereotypes surrounding teens, I love it when they outsmart the adults who belittle them and treat them like their stupid. Lol I used to be one of those kids until I became too laid back in high school and I can only wish to be as smart and articulate as Aaliyah was.
John Tuckey yes me too but the problem is that she is only 14
John Tuckey ....ok R Kelly
She was highly intelligent
come on..they're matching. How could people miss this?
That doesn't mean anything.
Luckie number1 umm no aaliyah wore the same matching outfits with timbaland, kidada jones and natane so u gonna she was fucking them too?
Kendall Foreman
Well....... it's rumors she was bi sexual
+TVG EBT lol no
Kendall Foreman Aaliyah never matched with Timbaland, stop lying
Aaliyah was a beautiful and well spoken young lady. She and R. Kelly created timeless music together. There is no denying their chemistry but as the adult in the situation he should have respected her and kept their relationship professional until she was old enough to consent.
Bri nln they were never married.
Kendall Foreman Where did I say they were married? Though there was a marriage certificate. If there was no marriage then there would have been no need to have it annulled. Also, When Aaliyah was 18 she had the courts expunge the documents. This is all well documented.
Kendall Foreman There is proof they were married, no need denying when there are receipts. You probably don't believe they had a sexual relationship either even knowing R. Kelly's history with minors.
bluesugar58 do u believe everything u hear? The marriage certificate is not real and they never had a sexual relationship. Aaliyah was a virgin.
bluesugar58 aaliyah also said that nothing happen between them.
R.Kelly said "I don't even remember working!!😂😂 yeah I bet..lol
Lol he had to be drunk to let that slip 😂😂😂
you are gorgeous hunni
Jennifer Johnson 😂😂😂😂
What the hell was he doing
Lol
I can't believed they ask Aaliyah " Are and R Kelly in a relationship, cousins or like best friends people wanna know"... smh
R.I.P
Right like wtf?
Nobody knew her age at the time tbf
The interviewer didn't know her age
they dressed alike how did people didnt kno they were a couple?
generate record sales? The scandal got her blackballed
Very weird she didn’t want to reveal her age. Now we know why. I wish this video could be analyzed by a professional. But it really doesn’t take a professional to see what’s going on here.
"Once I got to Detroit, I didn't
have to hear her sing"
Okay...
Omg she was soooo soft spoken! You can barely hear her in this interview. And im sorry, but R, Rob, Ark, Art, whatever the fuck your name is, he is soooo creepy for taking advantage of a teenager. She was 15 and he was 27! Omg he is disgusting.
Shut up, you weren't aware when it happened, don't voice your opinion on it now...
Bitch stfu speaking on shit you don't know nothing about. You don't even know the nigga's name, you probably weren't even born when it happened, but wanna jump on the bandwagon now. I'm only one year younger than Aaliyah, I grew up a fan of both of them and saw the situation in real time. Kellz and Liyah were very close, they were best friends. She was there for him when his mom died. They went everywhere together and Aaliyah called R. Kelly her best friend in every interview. The media made the situation more than what it was. Nobody knows what R. Kelly & Aaliyah's relationship was but them. Everything you hear is speculation, quit drinking the koolaid the media is force feeding you.
Im 28 honey. I grew up with aaliyah. And if you really see nothing wrong with 27 year old and and 15 year old hanging out. And btw they got married. Then I think you need to re evaluate your life. You're just as sick and diluted as he is. Sickos Destiny Williams *****
Unless your name is R. Kelly or Aaliyah, you don't know what their relationship was so quit judging and making assumptions. Of course they were hanging out, they were recording her album. That's what you do when you work with someone. And you obviously don't know his name cause you said "whatever the fuck your name is" don't back track now cause you got called out on it. I never claimed to know everything about her, but I clearly know more about her than you do.
G Marie your a psycho, why are you talking about shit that is old as hell??? Talk about some current shit... and Michael Jackson wasn't any better, he was just as sick...
Check the body language between them!!! That says more than any questions she tried to dodge about them being in a relationship!!! She was smitten by him.
The body language from both of them was off the charts very telling of everything that was going on between them.
😅😅 r kelly nervous af lool thinks he's on the witness stand
Mesut Ozil LMFAO
Yess. Especially when they asked are they dating and about how name of the album came about....lawdy he look shocked and nervous. 👀😲😂
He looks nasty and creepy.
Celebrity Predictions no your fuckin stupid profile picture does... So fuck off troll... And respect the legend of RnB... Bitch... Just shut your mouth
Bhavin Shah don’t be surprised when he pisses on your face
Omg awkward a lot of awkward moments in this interview. Poor baby smh everybody knew something was going on between them.
O,dear God.She was SO,SO cute!I just love how she talked and how honest and intelligent she was!Good sense of humour too.
Kelly shouted her out on She's Got That Vibe near the end "little cute Aaliyah's got it". The song was recorded in '91 and released in '92. She would have been 12/13 years old. Her uncle helped produce the track. Maybe they thought it was cute because she may have had a young girl crush, but it's really disturbing and sick.
Her uncle knew what he was doing offering her up
The fact that they were smiling and laughing while asking if they were boyfriend and girlfriend is disturbing.
You have to be like that at times to get a honest answer… It didn’t work tho…
No homo but Michael, Whitney & Aaliyah had seriously attractive speaking tones...
Lmao we been knew😂
Homo on Ally. She's a girl and Whitney is a girl.
She was in love forreal. Rkelly knew better, he knew he was wrong
damn r kelly she was only 15
Bro. Isaiah Now he's dating an 19 year old girl and this nigga is almost 50 years old
EW that is sick! well it is what it is. I'm not condoning his discrepancies but r kelly is too a victium of sexual abuse which explains his crimes against underage girls.
i would have married her to. you see how fucking fine she is
true
She was 12 when they initially met though 😞😒
R.Kelly Shittin bricks rn 😂😂😂 why Tf he breathin so damn hard fa?
LMAOOOOO he about to run out of breath and run out the interview like "they caught me " .💀💀Nigga hyperventilating hard af
Carl Johnson LOL I was thinking the same thing 😂😂😂
I ca't believe r kelly got away with this with no consequences...they're matching...her first album is an open letter about their relationship...she was 15!?!?!? LOL wow. This whole interview is just oozing of their relationship. They can't even hide it well.
Bria You so cute.
What’s up with the interviewers asking if they’re dating? Like as if that’s normal for their age gap? Why would that be a question to ask?
Because it was basically a confrontation in disguise . It was good they asked those questions instead of ignoring them and just talked music because It exposed alot of secrets back then
It’s so weird that they were so close and it was a 15 year difference. We all know they was more than friends. They knew it was wrong but honestly, I don’t think they really cared.
Its obvious they were in a close relationship! They dressed alike, she looked at her left ring finger not long after the question of their relation, he's wearing a wedding band, she doesn't want to disclose her age, & he said when he went to hear her sing, he didn't even have to hear her sing to know she was it; but when she did sing it only confirmed it! Like she said on one of her late show interviews she even at 10 she had some sex appeal about her! Ok know that we have that clear, she was still beautiful, soft spoken, inspirational, & talented! She died too soon & will forever be missed!!! Now let's remember her and not focus on that relationship that Wendell resurfaced with that wack ass bogus ass movie!!!
A 27 year old man bestie with a 15 year old girl. 😏 He was already closer to 30. Wild times and people thought it was cute.
Wild times? Sis people think it’s cute Drake is essentially singing the same with a 15 year old today.
R. Kelly should have been locked up here. I don't understand why her parents didn’t press charges
Just Moneyy
she don't even act 15 she was grown as hell
KIYIA RAELYNN no she acted just like a 15 year old. Idk what you saw. Maybe it's that most these 15 year old act 10 that might be the confusion.
nah yall acting like he was 47. 27 aint that old and she couldve said no 2.
Aaliyah looked and acted every bit of 15 .Fans of R.kelly try too always say she looked and acted older just to make him seem less guilty.
I'm bout to call Chris Hanson
KIYIA RAELYNN MUSIC she was smart for her age more wise she was not grown as hell she was smarter N prettier than most of yall females
She was so soft spoken 😍😍
0:34 Notice how R. Kelly corrected Aaliyah when she called him her best friend. He coached her to say "in the whole wide world" to deflect allegations of sexual abuse.
That was not him coaching her that was a question he was not being controlling YALL are really reaching it was him kind of being cute and playful with her as normal couples do he is not this monster yal try and make him out to be these grown ass women had choices. Make the stories that keep changing make sense he chains them up but let’s them out to go shop and buy shoes!!!!!

@@AB-rm2zu and she had parents that saw nothing wrong with what she was doing. This particular 15 year old had her own apartment in a whole different state than her parents. There was a time there would have been no crime with what he did it was normal to marry off ya 15 year old to some 25 and older man I’m pretty sure half the folks on here commenting had a grandfather who married a grandmother with this same age gap and didn’t call them pedophiles. If her parents didn’t have a problem and as long as he wasn’t kicking her ass then nobody else should say a word
he didn't have to hear her sing huh?
He been on her jock since day 1.
The sad part is she was only 12 when they initially met in 1991.
Yeah, he gave her a shout out at the end of "She's Got That Vibe" which he recorded in 1991. Apparently the song was for/about Aaliyah.
baby nemo He just needed one good look at her body, for his sick mind to perk up....or was it really his mind that really "perked up"...😑
bluesugar58 damn 12?! sick
Her parents shouldve taken care of her more and not let her be with him..maybe it wouldve taken longer for her to be famous but she was talented so it wouldve been a matter of time. And maybe she would still be Alive💔
Diane shouldn't trusted Barry Hankerson her brother, especially when he co written words in R Kelly songs like ( vibe, little Aaliyah's got it) ( Aaliyah you're the only one for me) (and age ain't nothing but a number). R Kelly had no control when Barry was the owner and the manager cowriter uncle and brother. vs R Kelly being homeless and hungry and unexperienced. he was damned if he did and damned if he dident.
best friends I died reading comment💀. Homeless and hungry
bbygrlpt2 I know this comment is old, but I totally agree. I've grown to feel that R.Kelly wasn't the only culpable party in this. Her parents should've been more vigilant. There's no way in hell I would've allowed my 15 year old daughter to spend most of her time with a grown man, even for the sake of "mentoring". And that uncle of hers....my goodness. He just comes across as pernicious; even his ex-wife Gladys Knight once said that he struck her as "evil" the first time they met (though this does nothing to explain why she still married him later on). I've actually come to feel that he had something to do with Aaliyah's death, but I suppose that's another topic for another day..
This nigga R. Kelly said: "Some call me Arch, some call me Art. Some call me (nervously say's) Rob! Age ain't nothing but a number girl". Boy if you don't! Lmaoooooo 😂😂😂
And a jail cell is nothing but a room lmao

They cut the introduction twice and they cut out the part when the female host said to Aaliyah that the Music Industry labeled her a Sex Symbol.
she had so much swag
I blame R-kelly Aaliyah was only 15 and very impressionable, even if she did make a move on him he should've been mature enough to set her straight and be like "hey we can't do that" at the very least he could've waited until she was of age but one good thing did come of their relationship her having to find a new producer and meeting Tim and Missy.
exactly , you can tell how impressionable she is and how most girls are at that age , half the girls i meet who are even like 19 or 20 are still like that it's just not right they haven't even come inot their own yet.
Allandra Adams Aaliyah was a whore
+Tamera Lynn Nah hun don't put that mess up in here!!
damn, i met girls who were 15 fucking their fitness coach of 38, i was shocked, so it could be verywell her moves... but yeah a mature enough man should say no, but maybe she can make it worse and say he raped her or shit like that, so he went with it
Allandra Adams that's what happens when you have the celebrity complex Prince had it Michael Jackson had it all you hear is yes yes yes for everything else so why is this the one thing that's no it's not right it's no justification for it but yeah
Why r jelly acting so nervous
Considering he was having an inappropriate relationship with a 15 year old Aaliyah...
He was probably afraid that something might slip out or that the interviewers might get suspicious.
R jelly💀
+Darwin Watterson lol

R.jelly omg
She was about 15 years old here.
Ok tyga can't message a teen singer about her career without us flipping out on him, but this guy can prance around with babygirl making sexual music with her & wearing twin outfits...this was cool how & why????
1990's go look at Samantha talking about his things changed for the better. samanthat who got in that fight with Roland polanski
So sad...she was only 15 in this video
R.Kelly was clearly screwing her at 15yr old and faked her age when they got married
Kia Tompkins so wha she clearly wanted it and consneted to it
she was too young
14
So true. She should've known better. I'm surprised he didn't get her pregnant.
Damn are they wearing full Iceberg jumpsuits? That's dope. I could be wrong. But that's dat 90's shit I grew up on. Fuckin R.Kelly is a pervert. He says "I got to detroit, and I saw her. She was growing up. I didn't even have to hear her sing". So then it was her 15 year old looks? Damn
She was 11/12 when they first met
nigga he said glowing
He said glowing up dumb ass
Why r kelly sound so out of breath
Derrell Venters drugs my man....
Derrell Venters nervous
Blowing aaliyahs back out before he came out
he's shook
Cause he an old ass nigga bro lol
Interviewer: "So where did the title of the album come from?"
Aaliyah: -complete silence-
R Kelly knows he made up that wack as story on the spot! He wrote the album! Clearly the title was a message to Aaliyah .......
he just jumped in and answered the question for her when she was asked "how did you come up with the song age aint nothing but a number?" as if he was tyring to prevent her from saying the wrong thing. what a perv!
The fact that she even asked if they were in a relationship when she's literally 15 and he's 27 is weird af LOL
She was very mature for her age wow she was very well spoken
why her parents let her go around the world with a 30 yr man ..money root of all evil
With a single 27 year old man her parents cant sugar code that period
I bet if Aaliyah was alive around 2007 and 2021, she will be defending Britney.
The chemistry between them was undeniable. U can feel it through the screen! She seem so infatuated and in awe of the R. Even though he was wrong for what he did to her. U can't deny the chemistry on wax. She sounded her best and happiest with him. U know Big Lez knew. She is not stupid...lol
kcoolmuziq she was in love with r.kelly
kcoolmuziq nervousness
She got that vibe😔...he said "lil cute Aaliyah's got it "I knew then, and me and Aaliyah is the same age.We were 12-13 at the time that song and album was out. smfh
The fact her family allowed this to happen and he like her since she was 12 just makes the whole thing completely sick. I wish someone round her didn't put her round R Kelly just so she could become famous as Aaliyah was so talented she could have made it anyway. He now is where he belongs behind behind bars.
Aaliyah was VERY mature for her age... I mean her personality and everything is of a grown woman. She could have passed for about 18 or 19...
Uii
Lovely Redd I agree so was Lefteye
So you'd be okay with your daughter being in this same situation if she acted like a 19 year old?
LeJannieka Jenkins nobody said that, wth? 😑
I love her voice
I love her she is so sweet and such a beauty!!!
I read an interview, and she said he was her best friend, and thought your parents are cool with that? She should've had a Chaperone at all times.
True
Did her parents ever watched this interview? Their relationship went beyond the recording studio
She was more fun to watch in her time around R. Kelly (and I guess the Missy, G, Tim era) than when she started to run with all the New Yorkers.
NewWorldRob it was deeper than just waiting. Dude had a deep emotional issues. He likes control and has to be in charge.
If they waited she would have been smarter and have more autonomy...exactly what a guy like him does NOT want. He was very infantile and emotionally imature thats why he could not deal with grown women his own age. Aaliyah mentally was on his immature wave.
It seemed like she was trained and practiced a lot on what to say r.kellys a MONSTER
In 1994 everyone just looked the OTHER way apparently

Once I saw them wearing matching outfits I knew something was up.Thats what some couples do
Very reserved but... she enjoyed being in the company of older men. Knowledgeable, entertaining and protective as they enjoyed her innocence, talent and body. She matured way too early... You can she the mystery behind her eyes
Aaliyah was so perfection wise and so mature for her age

Homie said I didn’t have to hear her sing cause she was glowing.
You can definitely hear that they have MAJOR chemistry together; it's undeniable. Disgusting how he illegally married Aaliyah (as she was only 15 years old), BUT clearly she felt mutual feelings for R. Kelly and allowed him to marry her/do things with her. 👍
right
Hailey Michelle she didn't want to her uncle is the one who suggested it to her parents all to allow her to be famous the dirty uncle who made R Kelly groom her, the music industry is deeper than most think Aliyah wasn't happy even DMX who was her best friend exposed R kelly about that, he even said that T kelly was manipulating her and other women of her age and that that's why he can never rate R kelly X is so real but people never take him seriously 😒 just like when he said that Jay z is demonic people just listened then let it get out the other ear👂 R Kelly been grooming lil'kids and Aliyah started waking up just go back and listen to her song more than a woman listen to the lyrics ironic how she dies after making that album in the song she states that they said they allowed her because of her uncle and that she'd soon have to follow but that doesn't scare her she believes in god and that she's more than a woman when I listened to that song rewinded it over and over again I understood she was tired of being told what to do and her family were the cause pushing her to try sell her soul that plane ✈️ incident wasn't an accident because even her mother told her to don't take that plane she knew they was going to punish her daughter for not joining the demonic world of that industry (illumination world of their's) #facts R.I.P to the real queen 👸 of Rnb #Aliyah 🙏🏽

English Muffin lol my bad 👌🏽
Hailey Michelle Yet she stated they are friends
Those interviewers could tell they was together…..they knew ….. but back in the 90s everyone kept their mouth shut…. It’s was so sad….. so many girls were with older men back then…. I love Aaliyah so much I don’t hold the past against her
The reason people kept their mouths shut about this was because they knew those girls were just loose and weren't innocent at all. Young girls always chase after older men. It's been that way since the beginning of time. If my daughter ever pulls any mess like that when she becomes a teenager, she's out of my house. I'm not raising any babies that I didn't birth.
Damn Kells, I love your music but you look crazy here.

And why were the interviewers so muscled?
Their chemistry was CRAZY! Just wow. It radiates off my screen.
billygoatsongzsucks what the hell is wrong with you dude?
Its weird af but facts! Smh
Albeit unconventional but one can’t deny they were clearly in love and in fact he was correct when they were together it was in fact magical. If only he were not such a damaged and broken individual they really could have have a long lasting and fairytale like relationship I’ve seen some footage of them walking into a practice holding hands her parents were quite aware of their relationship and had no problem with it until it became public knowledge and began to threaten her career then it became time to do damage control, but they still continued to date in secret hence the matching jewelry they wore off and on until the day she died. She loved that man until the day she died she may have dated other people cause his ass couldn’t get it together cause he was a damn cheat but she was still in love with him as he was with her he just thought he had time to get the playboy out then go back and claim her when he was ready to settle down
@@latishacline3838 I heard he locked himself away crying in his closet for a week after she died. R Kelly is a narcissist and probably a sex addict, but I don't think he treated Aaliyah like he did the other women he controlled and abused. I think he genuinely loved her and wanted to see her shine, but he was still wrong for pursuing her as a minor.
@@tonicarter1322 it’s not just black and white I was told she actually initiated the situation she kind of got real up close and personal letting him know she wanted him. He wasn’t interested in the beginning it was strictly business but once she captured his attention she kept it.

It's plain to see that he is messed up in the head, breathing all hard! She is clearly a child trying to be grown, wearing matching outfits with this grown Pervert. How do the parents think this is okay!?
A Big difference between Aaliyah at 15 and Beyonce at 15 . Aaliyah was so mature
It’s funny u say that cuz aaliyah was still more covered up wearing baggy clothes while Beyoncé was wearing inappropriate and less clothing than Aaliyah when she was her age.. Beyoncé looked very grown to me at 16.
