"Everyone here is either going to lose someone they love or going to be a loss to someone they love." All kinds of facts.
Yes, it’s like a Proverb word.
How morbid ..
Deep!!
@@ymccormack9613 How true though.
@@heatherlynsey3092 Yes...
But don't dwell on it..LIVE!!
"You never heal but learn to live with it." That is so true.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! This is how I feel. Some people don’t understand this!
@@alexisking8495 He’s spitting gems....❤️
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!
@@alexisking8495 the ppl that don’t understand hasn’t experienced a really hurtful lost yet. Whenever I’m dealing with ppl like that I have to remind myself this to keep me from getting upset because they just don’t know yet.
Right
He’s still in his feelings about it 😩 and I get it because their relationship was cut short. He has a lot of respect for her.
I'm sorry but this is outrageous for him to still be doing interviews about aaliyah when he has a whole wife and kids. Doesn't he respect his wife to keep quiet, I don't know why ppl think this is cute. He is using her name for attention at this point because aaliyah never even claimed him
@P Kitty not showing emotion doesn’t mean he doesn’t care he is depressed and he is trying to numb the pain by not showing it
I love that about him
@@xandykkaudy8252 Aaliyah said on 106 and park when Aj asked her if she had time for dating and if there was someone special in her life. She said “In my private life”. She was a private person when it came to her life outside of the public eye. She didn’t need to claim him on tv . Her private life was nobody’s business . FYI they were already engaged before the accident happened apparently .
@@xandykkaudy8252 thats not disrespectful. That's a major part of his life. They were together when she passed away. Can't help that she's famous. Also, Aaliyah never claimed anyone - back in the 90s it was normal for young celebs to play coy on their love lives because their images were controlled. Just like we didn't know until a decade later that Wanya from Boys to Men and Brandy were in a relationship in the 90s. That's like telling someone to get over their mom dying if they later had a stepmom. Thats someone's loved one, and you have to be reminded of their death annually. Its hard to get over that.
I really liked this interview. Damon is still grieving. However, his anger is most telling. He controls himself out of respect for Aaliyah and her family.
When you lose someone you love, you never stop grieving. You learn to cope which is what he said.
@@babyj2602
I'm no y'all. I gave my opinion of this interview. I'll stand by it. Like or unlike as you please.
@P Kitty exactly, he “loved” her so much but u was cheating on her and got Rachel Roy pregnant while y’all was together boy bye ✌🏾
I'm sorry but this is outrageous for him to still be doing interviews about aaliyah when he has a whole wife and kids. Doesn't he respect his wife to keep quiet, I don't know why ppl think this is cute. He is using her name for attention at this point because aaliyah never even claimed him
@@xandykkaudy8252 yes she did lol she gave him a chance even though jay liked her. Dame still dirty though.
Aaliyah was very private and Damon gets it, she wouldn’t want things dug up about her, I remember those last interviews she was so happy and in love you could tell
I dont even think Aaliyah said anything about r kelly because he won't say anything he just said Aaliyah said "leave it alone" ok and!? Damon is a dam liar and he say he has respect for her family but said her family didn't protect her. Hes full of shlt
She was with J first that's what really started their beef but they keep it hush hush
@@marilynking3350 Her family didn’t protect her. Do your research.
exactly. they didn't.
Her uncle signed off on r. Kelly's relationship with her, her mom had sex w r. Kelly and also allowed her daughter to be in a relationship with him. her dad turned a blind eye. the more you learn about the situation, it seems her uncle was behind a lot of really scummy things- including her music being off platforms. seems he doesn't want any attention on him....
She look better than Beyonce that's facts
I attended her funeral in Manhattan NY it was the saddest day, the streets were so full of her fans 🙏🏾 RIP Aaliyah. It was beautiful when her Mom set the doves free. She's smiling down at us.
Yes it was. I was at the memorial at Cipriani in Manhattan where they were playing her videos, had her photos, roses, and candles.
Were you at the actual funeral or at the public service?
💯
Love the fact that you were there.
Beautiful girl who's life was cut so early. God I'll never forget when my sister woke me up and told me
She was a star at 22 already, imagine her impact on music, film and acting today. She was smart and seemed genuine and down to earth. So forward thinking.
I always wonder what people like her or Marvin Gaye would be like today in music. What kind of music they'd be making and where their careers would be
Aaliyah Alive=No Beyonce
Biggie Alive =No Jay Z
Back Then You Couldn't Afford to Buy everyone's album you had to pick and choose wisely That new Aaliyah album or that new Beyonce album 🤔 That new BIG or Jay 🤔
She was a Capricorn woman.. we have that effect on people. I’m sure Aaliyah held on to a lot of pain from R.kelly abuse as Capricorn’s are very private, Aaliyah was a true Capricorn
@@chaasarpachaad7044 cant believe you said that! I know this is gonna start a war but Beyonce and Aaliyah are not remotely the same. Aaliyah was not a sex symbol so she would be limited because sex sells. you cant possibly compare the live performances of Beyonce to Aaliyah's...beyonce is a whole different animal!
@@bmefilms6879 just because you have talent it doesn't automatically mean you will be become famous I'm not saying that Beyonce nor Jay-Z aren't talented I am only saying that the opportunity for them to reach the levels that they did only open up up because of the artists that were no longer around and being famous is more about opportunity and luck then Talent there are several people that are more talented than Beyonce and Jay-Z that no one has ever heard of because they lack the opportunity to get the attention that they received
As an Aaliyah fan, I appreciated this interview. He seemed so real about everything.
Very respectful too
I respect Dame for how protective he is over Aaliyah’s memory. He truly loved her!
yes, I love that too.
He was too old for her too
Everyone truly loves someone that is rising hot star talented famous and them dies.. all the hope* dream* of it all.. can't grasp it.. what it.....gtfo if she was alive they would had issues, he wouldn't feel same way, she went someone else etc etc etc ...
@@keshahunt1476 age ain’t nothing but a number
Amen
The interviewer is very gentle and respectful, he has a good heart you can see. Dame is a good guy that has been hurt many times.
I thought the same thing, this was a great interview.
Thats why everyone goes to him cause its not all about the story
He’s a vet in the media world.
Yeah be wasn't to invasive, he let Dame talk and he wasn't trying to pursuade Dame into saying what the public wants to here
I don’t know he seem alittle annoyed at certain things Dame wouldn’t answer.
"the wealth was our love" both were so lucky to have each other!
No one ever has a bad word to say about her. What a legacy. A beautiful person and a beautiful soul to match.
Naaaa she has plenty of haters sadly.
She was so ahead of her time and she still feels relevant from music to fashion.
and discipline
How?
@@reformer6666 So, you mean to say she ain't but you still clicked the video, hunny?
100%!!!!
@@MarilynFinland What's even funnier is you thinking me clicking on the video has anything to do with you saying, "she was so ahead of her time." I clicked the video to hear the interview with Damon Dash.

You can see the heartbreak in his eyes and hear the sadness in his voice, I’m sitting here crying and shit.
He was trying to be strong and respectful for Aaliyah his hands were shaking he wanted to unleash.
😭😭
💔💔
same
Me too,That shit hurt man🥲😢😥😓
My daughter passed away exactly two weeks and 1 day before Aaliyah. It was, up until that time, the most difficult time in my life. As devastated as I was about my loss it gave me a strange sense of comfort knowing Aaliyah and her beautiful voice were in heaven hopefully singing lullabies to all the baby angels. Hers was a spirit too beautiful for this world as was my little girls. RIP Aaliyah & Ny you will never be forgotten 💕
sorry for your loss /=
So sorry you lost your daughter
❤🙏🏽

This man loved her completely. 20 years later and one can still see the passion and loyalty and respect he has ...
I hope we all strive for a healthy beautiful love like this ❤️...
He is really genuine with his spoken words of expression when ask about Aaliyah
Real Love😌
Aaliyah was his Twin flame soul mate. I hurt for him.
I don’t believe anything he is saying. Why was he so quick to move Aaliyah’s clothes out of his house? Because he was moving Rachel in.
@@HandsumRudeBwoi exactly!! And had his shade on the whole time.
@@jolieo78jonas Right, hiding behind shades, because he’s lying. That whole situation was a set up, smh.
Man, I was 16 working in a grocery store summer 2001. Best summer ever. AALIYAH had just dropped and I was bumping it every time I got in the car. Someone at work told me “Aaliyah died in a plane crash” while I was working. I dropped to the floor and just cried.
Hard to believe that was 20 years ago. I’ve never gotten over her death. I’ve never stopped loving her. RIP, Baby Girl.
She would have won an academy award and was filming the Matrix sequels
@@arielblue I have no doubt. She was SUCH a talented actress.
I was 15 when my mom called n told me she passed..I couldn't stop crying 😢
I was 16 too at my cousins birthday party
That time went by so fast . 20 years ….
Seeing how he tensed up then shut down when asked about Hype- 20 years hasn't softened that righteous anger one bit. The fact that he's still so protective of her.... The truest love. Period.
Aaliyah and Selena are the only celebrities I cried for when they passed without even personally knowing them. They were beautiful souls 💐
Same
Which selena
Same, + Princess Diana.
@@aleenazahir Selena Quintanilla-Pérez
Her music and fashion is timeless. RIP AALIYAH
. a whole different light Dame
Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. He’s right that the world would be different if she was still here. She was an amazing performer and person.
Yeah it’s often said that Beyonce may not have become what she has🤎
@@ciarrajohnson3849 I believe Beyonce and Her would Both Be famous just doing different things I believe Aaliyah would've been an Actress she was gonna play in alot of Movies.
@@ciarrajohnson3849 Nah sweetie. Beyonce would still be who she is. Aaliyah & Beyonce both were in their own lanes back then. Destiny Child had hits & grammys back then as well. And I know Aaliyah would've been amazing as well but Beyonce was always destined to be the top singer & performer she is based off the hard work she effortlessly puts into her craft.
@@ciarrajohnson3849 For sure. Aaliyah was already a bigger super star. A successful actress and mutli platinum selling artist before she passed. She definitely would've been bigger than her.
Yes, I agree.
You can tell he really loved her. It angers me that Hype took her ✈️that she was supposed to take back . Makes it clear that he was responsible for the set up of her death . R.I.P. babygirl. We love you . Miss you . When he talked about the “More Than A Woman” remix with Freeway I still think like “DAMN”. I don’t blame him for turning into a monster . He lost two women he truly loved . That would change Anyone . I’m pretty sure Hype’s reputation is ruined after taking her ✈️
“We’re doomed the day we’re born!”
I’m just now beginning to understand what that actually means....I hope young people get to grasp the truth of why we’re here and act on it , Now! Timing is critical....
Heavy TRUTH🙌🏽😔
@Honest Facts g money
Yep..you're born, you live and then you die..
*Aaliyah was real royalty and even now (20 years later) she’s still the true Queen.* ❤️👑
Amen
Yes! 💖
Aaliyah was a charm to experience
Exactly bro
Queen Aaliyah ♥️
Thank you for this ET. Thank you for being respectful Kevin & much respect dame!!! We love you baby girl 🕊

And thank u for your love and support of our baby girl!!!! I have been a long time subscriber of yours as well 💞💞
As a fan of yours MALIBU .. I know she’s your fave😩😘
Exactly, we love and miss her so much!!
OMG! Malibu!
Love when he says he's a fan of himself because he was the guy that got to be with Aaliyah💗All respect
Damon words are so deep: "When you heard about things and you can't do anything about it you have to internalize, so I have to figure out how to release it so doesn't turn into cancer in my body." I loved this interview! Much respect to the interviewer. He did an awesome asking Damon question respectfully! We see another side of Damon when he talks about Aaliyah. He loved her in his own way and we have to respect that! Baby girl Aaliyah will truly be missed 🙏❤️❤️❤️
That very part hit me hard when he said that
I love that
Kevin is fishing while Damon is setting the boundaries. He handled him with such poise yet hearing the sensitivity about Aaliyah draws you in on the love he still carries for her. I love to hear a man be able to speak about someone he loves. His vulnerability towards Aaliyah is unconditional.
Yeah ❤️ !
Absolutely. He turns into someone completely different when he speaks about her. Its really beautiful to watch.
We know what Mike Tyson almost did to Kevin!
I respect him for that .
Yeah he was I never like Kevin black men like will do anything to maintain that fake ass Hollyhood death city...Damon too real for him yes he really loved her.
I was getting on a plane out of Miami when this happened and everyone on the plane was sick to their stomach after hearing this. I got in my car after landing and the radio station asked everyone to turn their headlights on in honor of her passing, so many people did and it was beautiful, I cried all the way home. Still hurts.
Beautiful story. So sad ❤️
Very touching and moving. I understand how you felt. Thank you for sharing.
Wow such a beautiful but sad story! Thanks for sharing
Wow that’s crazy 🙄
All I have to say and that was Aaliyah was a Gift from God to human beings, and now his beautiful angelic angel is back with her heavenly father,
*Anastasia was one of my favorite movies, when she passed I couldn’t even watch it anymore. Unique is an understatement, she really was once in a lifetime.*
I believed Aaliyah would've been very happy with Damon, because I believe he truly loved her and she loved him.
I have so much more respect for Damon respecting Aaliyah’s privacy and respecting how she would’ve wanted things💕 you can tell he is still hurting about it for sure.
Yes he’s gonna be for the rest of his life . That’s a scar
When he said that she was the coolest, it made my eyes water. The way that he loves her is so pure. It’s beautiful to see
Ain’t nobody else wanna know why tf did Hype take her plane ride? She could still be alive! Dame was shaking talking about that part.
Exactly
Mannn when Damon said that I got sooo mad bro like why the fuck would Hype do that shit. I told my coworker at work a little while ago like wtf… I feel like Hype was on some sneaky shit
@@jaycinematistix9102 If he had taken her plane, and she had taken his, and crash happened on the plane he was flying we would be mourning Hype. The point is, we would be grieving no matter how things ended. No one would say why did she take his plane?
Who is hype?
@@reyrey5259 hype Williams is the person who directed the music video. He took the private plane Aaliyah was supposed to be on. And was sent to her by Lenny kravitz. She’d still be alive if she was on that plane
I never knew Hype was getting his own jet out of the Bahamas. I always wondered why Hype has been so quiet about this. One way or the other, if Aaliyah did or didn’t take that plane, she wouldn’t have stopped what she was doing. She did what she loved.
Yeah something don’t sit right there . It makes you wonder
Dogsalway SbarkAtbetamales Hype didnt have his own plane he took the plan that lenny Kravitz sent for aaliyah he took it he dodnt leave it for her. If he didnt do that she could well stil be alive
It takes a strong heart to love, but it takes an even stronger heart to continue to love after it's been hurt.
DEEP🔥🔥🔥
Amen
One thing I can see is that there’s a lot Damon is NOT saying. There’s so much more to this story that it’s scary. They have blackballed Dame for what he knows and try to make him look crazy or bitter. He knows that there would be consequences to revealing too much. My heart goes out to him.
And that's the Gods honest truth! The industry is very wicked. He knows he cant say what he really wants bc look what they've done to him already. Sad
Theres waaaaay more to this sinister story. But she loved dame, and he loved her geniunely! RIP beautiful aaliyah ♥️
@@griseldaotf7623 I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees it. You can see that to this day he is haunted by this. It’s beyond grief and to have to hold a secret that deep will change you.
@@Kelly-rt4kz and @visionary 💯💯
@@Kelly-rt4kz Yes Bey an J always on the brain.
Right after the death, I believe Jay Z and Rkelly worked together on the Best of Both Worlds and Damon was slowly being ostracized. This more than likely fueled Damon’s demise. This was in 2002. When Jay Z moved onto becoming President of Def Jam, Damon was almost thrown out on the street if he didn’t push for Kanye, Dipset and all the other smaller acts. I’m sure Damon Dash has a lot on a lot of folks, but he still has mouths to feed so he cant look like a complete clown. On another note, I’m surprised Rachel Roy’s clothing line didn’t go further. I still have a beautiful blazer from her line from like 10 years ago. It’s pretty much built Ford tough and still in great shape. No pilling and no shedding.
Well Said!! This is the best I’ve heard him talk about someone, he always speaks softly and loving when he talks about Aaliyah. That loss really changed him! I’m just glad he could LOVE again.
I love how respectful the dude is who’s interviewing Dame. He showed such compassion here . I respect that
This Man is still grieving 20 years later😥
Even though I never really cared for Dame Dash I always appreciated the way he loved Aaliah❤
It is true. They say, you never really get over a loss of a person, you learn how to live with it. Once the tissue is scarred, it changes the molecular structure and epidermis of the skin. In our case; in Dame's case, we have been scarred losing someone dear to us and learning how to deal with it while grieving. Loss does change us.

Aaliyah and Dame really would've went the distance. Just looking at photos of them together during that era way back, they looked genuinely happy together. Great chemistry between them.
Yes he seemed like he was humbled she picked him . I wish they stayed together
Yesss
Nah, he would have cheated or she would have blossomed and left him behind
I also have a funny feeling he knows who called her and told her that he was in the hospital that put her on that flight that killed her otherwise she wouldn't have got on it they knew that flight was too heavy with her luggage she would have waited for her regular flight but instead she got on that flight because she was told he was in the hospital so she had to get back and ended up costing her her life!
I liked Dame with Aaliyah and want to believe she would've kept him grounded. I guess grief does change people. RIP Aaliyah.
Even after all this time. I always wondered about him and how he dealt with Aaliyah’s death. Glad to hear from him.
I knew it broke him . Look at him in the MTV News tribute to Aaliyah . You can tell he’s hurt .
This was dope. No matter how you may feel about Dame, he loved that woman and it shows. It was refreshing to hear about her through his lens…literally lol. Great piece!
I cry and cry . I ask my sis who sit her up . My sis ask you think she was sit up . I said He'll y'all . I said she scare of plsnes like me . I told Aaliyah I'm scare to fly . I was go flying until Aaliyah and ,911 .
He never loved her. Watch his body language,he knew what happened to Aaliyah.
Yes you can tell

It’s deeper than that. She was murdered
@@dexterisaccs545 If she was murdered then they were all murdered, including the lying, drugged out pilot who should never have been allowed near that plane. Looks like he just fooled the company to get a job and did what any inexperienced knucklehead would do. Make dumb fatal mistakes...who would you say was the killer?
Mr. Landman • I'm with you on that one. When she died back in "01 I always said to myself. As a BIG OF A STAR she was how come she didn't have a jet or something. But as time goes by more & more of the story LEAKAGE is coming out.
@@mr.landman6781 I feel like the pilot is just as much a victim as the passengers, just as Aaliyah had a job to do, so did he, with all the circumstances around that scenario I don't feel it's right to point a finger at him because it seems to me that he was told to do one thing and take the fall for another, the killer wasn't on the plane.
@@devynabdullahbush3281 he was drunk and not authorized to fly the plane in the first place which he knew and failed to follow orders causing the lives of innocent victims 🙄
As hard as this man was and is, he was so soft and gentle when it came to Aaliyah 😔❤️
Sure was.
I love the way you put this! So true.
I've never seen Dame vulnerable on any subject. I'm sure it will never happen again.
Thank you for having this interview and thank you for Damion Dash for sharing his memories and opinions 💜
The interviewer did a good job and I can tell that Damon has never been he same since she passed. I think he made peace with it but he's still hurting.
The energy in the air was different after Aaliyahs passing and 9/11....the atmosphere became darker, and more anxiety ridden . Pop culture wasn't the same
I was just watching an old news clip the day before 9/11....the world was wayyyyyy more innocent
Facts!🙄
It never will be the same 😢❤️RIH babygirl
A whole generation traumatized
💯💯💯 I feel the same after Aaliyah died and 9/11
Aaliyah was one of a kind and she is greatly missed. Poor Damon Dash is still heartbroken and the fact Lenny Kravitz even offered Aaliyah his private jet is news. It's so sad. R.I.P. Aaliyah....😢

When he said he was shocked “how many people were involved with him in any kinda way”. I immediately thought of Jay-Z, did a entire joint album with R Kelly at an height of his career only a year after her death.🤔 “Love your enemies and hate your friends, your enemies stay the same your friends always change”-50 cent

As someone who has lost two loved ones as well. I completely understand where Damon is coming from. Perseverance is what keeps us going through the hard days.
Everyone in the industry beats him down but, he is speaking from his heart.
She said she didn’t like the plane. She had a premonition. 🥲
A woman who achieved so much in such a short amount of time. She truly was incredible and admirable #RIPAaliyah
Kevin is such a great interviewer- handling it with kindness and compassion, but you can also tell how this was a part of his history too.
I agree!
Nope
Yes great man
I’ll never forget this day!! I was in church, it happened on a Sunday.. before the Preacher started his sermon .. yes the preacher.. he paid respect to her.. I was floored.. because it was my first time hearing it.. I cried like I knew her personally.. You can tell that her spirit calms Dame and she’s his ONLY WEAKNESS.. so genuine.. may she continue to Rest In Peace 🙏🏽❤️

That sent chills ..
20 years later she is still being remember for her angelic spirit her great talent Dash speaks so genuine about her I wish they gotten a chance to be married with a family RIP Aaliyah we will forever remember you 🕊🙏🏼❤
Me too 😢😢
When I see her photos she’s what you call a naturally beautiful person. I don’t know her, but her spirit was so humbling. She spoke very well and her smile 😊.
The highest people at the top of their game in the entertainment industry looks so unhappy and empty. Aaliyah already had a story, but I’m happy their putting her music 🎶 out to fans.
Aaliyah's passing has always been one moment that I remember vividly. It is hard to explain how you feel so connected to someone you didn't know personally. I suppose part of it is being so close to her in age that it was like we were growing up together and we never really got to watch her grow, even though we all knew she was capable of doing so much more. I truly wish she was still here.
My mama and I loved Aaliyah. Then I lost my mother in 2009 and it always feels like I lost her just yesterday. I only cope with the pain and live with it cause it will never go away, and I don't want it to. RIP mama & Aaliyah miss and love you both💔😔
20 years later and we’re still missing her so much. STILLLL love her! Still every girl’s idol. RIP Babygirl 🕊
Me to she was so young at the age of 22 years old i was 15 years old after she had died rip baby girl 🕊☁🙏❤
When she passed away I couldn’t listen to her music for a long time. Rest In Peace Aaliyah 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I remember her music kept playing on the radio and than they said the heart broken words “ we wanna send our condolences to Aaliyah family “
@@ghenetcharles5833 Right! I remember it like yesterday. I saw it on the news. When they showed the plane I fell to my knees. Literally. I cried and cried as they played her songs on the radio.
I couldn't listen to or see her for a Long time. I Still shed tears when it hits. Of course not as much. But that tender spot will Always remain.....
I still cant watch the video Rock the Boat without getting sad since that was the video she filmed before her death
Me either,I’m still broken,I name my daughterAaliyah she was born on Jan.1
The pain of losing a loved one will never go away, you can only cope with it, and it will always feel like if it just happened yesterday 😔
Losing your other half is the most hurtful experience, especially when you really love them and they was so good to you. You never forget them, you get used to them. But only God can heal you🙌🏼🙌🏼
Omg, this statement is so real. It's been 4 years and it still feels like yesterday!
I learned some new things after this interview...i remember it was very sad to hear about her passing years ago. And...i know I often hear people ask God why? But the more I hear on these details, all I hear is warning..through her gut feeling; through her noticing something looked off about the plane; how another plane was being offered but someone else took it...there were signs all along pointing about that plane that I know God was sending, like He often does for us all in other situations. We must have an ear to hear...God be trying to wreck our plans before our plans wreck us🙏🏽. And I say this in the most loving way, please listen to that still small voice; we don't see everything that happens spiritually, but God be talking..we just have to be willing to lay our will aside and listen. The more we listen, the more we can know His voice, and it will save us for another day.💜🙏🏽
Yes those were the signs God was speaking. Aaliyah gone to soon.
@@cassiee3494 Absolutely. And although I know it sounds comforting for people to say God wanted her back with Him, truth is, all these signs prove otherwise...He was indeed trying to save her. God needs our participation in some way or another, but He won't make us go against our own will.🙏🏽I too am in no ways perfect..I pray that I will always hear God's voice and obey. She was definitely gone too soon.
Well said Channa B👍
I totally agree!
When you are force and drug ,they did that and all die .
The interviewer asked some really dumb questions. Aaliyah was and still is, an inspiration to me, and a lot of other artists to this day. 2 weeks after her death, 9/11 happened. 2001 was a very eerie year. Then 8 months after her death, Left Eye of TLC dies. The music industry is still using their energies for inspiration. Especially Aaliyah's. May God rest their souls 🙏🏽💖
I agree.
So what questions you would have asked?
I respectfully disagree, he was as respectful as he could possibly be but he has a job to do. And if you know anything about Dame Dash , if felt it was out of bounds he would have MOST DEFINITELY objected very strongly.
I agree it was a crazy time I never noticed anything about celebrity deaths or anything like that until Aaliyah it was almost like her death just kick started everything. It was a lot going on at that time I was in high school a junior to be exact and it was just absolutely crazy with September 11th I remember watching MTV and they play nothing But Aaliyah videos Mariah Carey's hero song and like a bunch of 9/11 footage such a crazy time.
Before doing the interview him and Damon had to agree on a questionnaire so he couldn't have asked the questions unless Damon agreed to it so later the network don't end up being sued by Damon.
I felt all Dame emotions in this interview. He loved her, he genuinely lost a piece of him when she died.
RIP BABY GIRL💔🕊 STAY STRONG DAMON DASH TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES...
May blessing of the lord be upon you I really thank you for supporting my career. Fix the Phone# Alphabetic

U can hear the sadness in Damons voice.He must miss Aaliyah so much 😪😪
You can hear the guilt 😧
Now he does look like he wants to buss out in tears but he won’t allow it because he’ll look like a wuss
He was also a 30 years old with a 19 years old young woman ...
She was actually 22
@@barbaralagazzele1930 wait he was sol old....I thought they were around the same age!!!!! How did her mom let her date an older guy plus he had a child
Her && Selena absolutely tore me up idc I miss them so much true angels on earth I loved her so much I had her cds && posters day I found out about her death is the day I went to see my lil cousin that was born && it came on the hospital room tv I went into a deep depression it’s just not fair but god takes the best it breaks my heart she didn’t like flying && had her reservations long live the queen 👑 🖤
Also this interview I had to say was very awkward && made me cringe I’ve never seen someone get defensive or rude to Kevin I understand it’s bringing up old wounds but he’s just asking questions it’s not his fault so shame on you we deserve answers too after all these years you did an amazing job Kevin I’m very proud of you
I know right
Because their death didn’t have to happen. The what if factors are always there. They definitely would have been two incredible icons.
@@jazlynnmontgomery5165 definitely agree. Man they were really getting into bigger things. I would've loved to see their accomplishments had they carried on in this life.
No disrespect but this is about aaliyah...ive always noticed that ppl love to include Selena on Aaliyah videos....
@@saramatthews7159Aww I understand, but they do it also on Selenas videos as well. I think they were both so wonderful, literally one in a million spirits that its hard not too. The were trendsetters, and broke barriers. We can go on and on. They are both missed deeply.
He’s still in love with her and I absolutely see why! I love Damon and how much he respect Aaliyah!!! ✨💟💫 RIP ANGEL 😔
I highly respect this man. He truly loved Aaliyah. The only one to speak up and protect her.
20 years ago the world lost a legend 🌍😢I was born after her death and the fact that I didn't grow up during the time she was alive really sucks😔my mom made me listen to all her music and I still have a full collection of good songs🤗may her gorgeous soul rest in peace 🕊️🙏❤️
Damn Youngin
Respect to your mom for raising you right and putting you ON
I was 7 years old and beginning of the 2nd grade at the time. I remember the day of her death like it's yesterday.
“Everyone here is gonna lose someone we love or be a loss to someone who loves us, we’re doomed from the day we’re born”
So true, we just gotta enjoy life man..u never know…
So true..that got me 😔 such a real powerful statement from a genuine man
That’s deep
God that hurts to think about that but it's true
Who made that Quote?? I am seeing it all over the place here.
@@atimgood6016 damon dash said it in his interview
I really admire how he respects her name and legacy by not speaking about certain events in too much detail. Respect to Dame for that.
Yep
Wow! 20 years later and it still feels like yesterday, thanks E! For this video and most importantly thanks to the big homie Damon Dash for being so humbled and respectful and too cool! That’s why she was intrigued by you bro! You will always have a piece of her with you as is fans will ALWAYS have her with us through her music! Thanks for sharing! ✊🏾 💯 rip 🪦 Aaliyah! Aka babyGurl!
“I’m the guy that was with Aaliyah” DAMN 🥺😩
Right 😭😭🥺
I’m so happy that Dame finally said that a lot of people purposefully don’t speak anything negative surrounding Aaliyah out of respect for her family and legacy. I bet we would know so much more if the people that know what was up would finally speak
But we will never know ..because they won't...I believe they will carry it to their graves..I wish they would speak up
You can just feel the pain and anger.. may she Rest In Peace
May blessing of the lord be upon you I really thank you for all your support regarding my career

I sense it too
I have so much respect for Damon Dash. He showed love and respect for Aaliyah and her family. Genuine interview
I will hold a special place for Aaliyah. She passed on my daughter’s 4th birthday. My daughter is now 24 years old. RIP Aaliyah 🙏🏾🕊💐
I, too, will hold a special place for Aaliyah . I was almost 8 months pregnant with my daughter who will turn 20 in October of this year. Also, she passed on my cousin’s 7th birthday. My cousin is now 27.
Never heard the Lenny Kravitz hype Williams part of this story before...
So blessed and thankful I got an opportunity to see her in concert. Her performance was absolutely amazing
we know know from jump Aaliyah should have never gone to the Bahamas due to rock the boat being 95% green screen and they were already at Miami so they were plenty of beaches that she could've went to instead of going to the Bahamas. The footage of the Bahamas you could barely see her dancing on the boat and they didn't even really utilize the beach in a way that justifies her going there. Ashanti's Rock Wit was shot in Miami it was gorgeous!! Aaliyah could have done the same so i blame Hype and her greedy uncle-it was all a set up
BIG FACTS!!! I always said this. It had NO BAHAMA VIBES at all!!! #setup
Do you think they had her killed on purpose??? I have heard theories like that but it was hard to swallow and not enough to convince me fully. But im still curious
@@DejaDrewit of course. If it wasn't the label who was upset with record sales it was definitely R.Kelly who knew that the day would come when other young girls would testify
Smh y’all gotta stop this garbage. If it wasn’t meant for her to die she would be here today. Everyone has a death date. She was an amazing woman and everyone misses her, but it was written. Nobody killed her or conspired to kill her. This is just ugly of you guys to think this and spread this venom. Please for the love of Aaliyah’s memory, STOP IT!
@@Darkempress45 stfu. Thanks have a nice day
You've Never Been Forgotten Baby Girl. 20 years already damn.
I'm glad her music is streaming now. She deserves it. ❣️
That’s why I love my generation! The way he handled that interview was priceless. He wasn’t speaking on what wasn’t necessary and he kept that loyalty and privacy that she would want. This generation, millennials, “cancel culture “, would have been doing the most, trying to get all in the business. #BringbacktheCulture
EXACTLY
Wendy Williams is apart of your generation "trying to get all in the business"
@@bevz90 I hope you know what I mean, if not I’m sorry❤️ go back to the Rappers/R&B singers/ Contemporary Singers and Rock Singers of the 90’s and there is a different aesthetic and vibe from the generation today.❤️
My generation is just sad! ( 90s) . No class no respect. No morals just all fucked up.
Facts
This interview shows the side of Dame I love. People are so used to seeing him be so aggressive and rough. When he talks about Aaliyah you can see how loving he is. I see this same side with Raquel, he really seems to love her too!
I see it too . But even Damon says the whole reason he knows what love is is because of her .
@Kevin Frazier - Interview very well done. Nothing we haven't heard per se...and still so tastefully done. RIP Baby Girl
GDAMN!!!! I can feel his pain! There's so much more to this story that he has to live with. I get the feeling that convo with Hype was not a good one
Ikr
He can’t get over her…. He truly loved Aaliyah ❤️ Respect this man
The love they had for each other just came naturally it showed in every picture, interview etc..
Is Dame saying the Bahamas portion of the shoot was the extra day? So basically, the shoot was planned to be filmed entirely in South Florida until Hype decided to film in the Bahamas?
And then he took the jet back? 🤦🏾♀️
@StephanieDotDot Exactly.
Yeah it Makes no sense
@@LaurenMunroeThat still bugs me! Hype, a selfish jerk!
