R&B king Usher recently revealed that he wanted to be more than just buddies with his 'One In A Million' female counterpart Aaliyah back in the 90s.

Detroit native and gospel veteran Marvin Winans exclusively revealed to WDIV Local 4 news that he was planning to do a full gospel album with the late 'One In A Million' singer and actress Aaliyah before her untimely passing 20 year ago.

Diane Haughton, the normally-elusive mom of late R&B icon Aaliyah, has spoken out to criticize the author of an unauthorized book that chronicles Baby Girl's life and the circumstances surrounding her fatal plane crash.

On August 25th, 2001, Aaliyah and eight others lost their life in a tragic plane crash. She was only 22 years old.

Aaliyah’s estate has issued a statement aimed at those trying to “leech off of” the late singer’s work by releasing “unauthorized projects.”

Reactions have been nothing short of supportive for Normani and Cardi B's new song "Wild Side," which samples the 1996 hit "One In A Million" by Aaliyah, and it's even getting a co-sign from Baby Girl's former label head and notoriously quiet uncle, Barry Hankerson.

It's hard to believe that 19 years ago the songbird died in an airplane crash the devastated the entire hip hop community.
