I think it’s time we create a community for Babygirl where we can do streaming parties, get her classics to elevated levels, trend more on Tik Tok & getting her on the BB Hot 100. This tweet needs to garner attention, we need to start somewhere. Hope this is it… #Aaliyah🕊️
I know people are wishfully thinking we could get something new for the self-titled turning #AALIYAH25 years, officially, in the 🇺🇸 but I HIGHLY doubt that and upon research, @Blackground’s online shop hasn’t existed for some time. Check out the site:

UPDATE: Sorry for the late update but the LIVE tribute may not be streamed but we will likely see others live streaming it while they are there AND will likely see it on the Essence website and YouTube page after.
The One In A Million, Forever Tribute 🕊️curated by Missy Elliott will be tonight! The Main Stage show starts at 6PM, the tribute will likely start sometime between 7-8PM after the first performance of the night.

One in a Million. Forever.
This year at @essencefest , we will honor the life, music, and legacy of #Aaliyah with a special tribute celebrating 25 years of her self-titled album, 30 years of her debut album, and the enduring impact of an artist who changed culture forever.
Mýa was on @theonlyjasonlee show and she was asked, Who else she looked up to from the 90s era to now and resonates with in their musical journey and she mentions Aaliyah 🕊️ Jason also references her earlier in the show, it’s worth a watch, tune in below:

@gesuH1@theonlyjasonlee@MYAPLANET9@aaliyah She has mentioned her but when she does, it feels special so moments like this are nice to hear and the impact she has held and even with her peers from the 90s
@ohlalala212@theonlyjasonlee@MYAPLANET9@aaliyah I don’t know why anyone would try and even talk bad about this woman, she’s very unproblematic and whenever she mentions Aaliyah, it’s nothing but sweet, she’s never said a single bad thing about her nor any of her peers. Reminds me of Babygirl

"Some girls want to be comfortable, sporty, but still have their hair and nails done.... I see girls walking around like that all the time, and it makes me smile that she owns that look."

Happy Heavenly Birthday to the baddest to ever do it! #Aaliyah 🥳🕊❤️
Today on what would have been her 47th birthday, I often wonder what direction Aaliyahs life would have taken, had she still been here today. The brand deals, movie roles, fragrance lines, clothing lines, music tours, interviews and interacting with her fans via social media (which she only ever got to do through a forum - the good old days! 😎🙌🏼) The list goes on and on and on for our #OneInAMillion diamond in the rough.
22 years of her life dedicated to her craft and labour of love, still astounds me to this very day. In such a short period of time, Aaliyah was able to achieve groundbreaking achievements at a time before social media and AI were even a thing. She had it all from brains to beauty, class, style and it's only evident through her influence on the culture how much of an impact she had and STILL has to this very day. 🙏🏽💯
