Aaliyah

Following months of rumors and speculation, the coveted role of Aaliyah has finally been announced.

Looking forward to seeing the Aaliyah biopic? Details of the film have emerged thanks to an actress vying for the role of the late singer.

Today (Jan. 16) marks what would've been the 35th birthday of R&B queen Aaliyah, who tragically passed away on Aug. 25, 2001, in a plane crash in the Bahamas. To add to the countless social media tributes and tunes surely spinning on playlists, Hot 97 DJ Mister Cee put together a dedication mix for his 'Throwback at Noon' hour.

Chris Brown and Drake now have something in common other than dating Rihanna. The 24-year-old singer was in Compton, Calif., holding toddlers and chilling on rooftops with a group of shirtless men who surrounded him as he filmed a tribute video for the late singer Aaliyah.

Just a few days after what would have been her 34th birthday, an unreleased Aaliyah track has surfaced online. The song titled 'Quit Hatin' features the late songbird's smokey vocals over a contemporary productions.

While not everyone is thrilled with the prospect of Drake executive producing the posthumous Aaliyah project, Lil Wayne has told the Associated Press (via RollingStone.com) that it's going to be an "awesome collaboration."

DMX is mad as Hell at Drake -- and it's over an angel. X revealed his beef with Drizzy doesn't just rest on what he feels is Drake's "annoying" raps, but also the fact that the Canadian-born MC took the reins on a posthumous Aaliyah record without collaborating with anyone else the late songbird worked with.

Ever since it was rumored that Drake is executive producing Aaliyah‘s posthumous album, fans have been wondering what the late songbird’s family thought of this idea. According to Rolling Stone, they don’t want no part of it.

Drake released his first track with the late Aaliyah, ‘Enough Said.’ How does it fare?
