18-Year-Old Aaliyah Denies Being Married After R. Kelly Rumors

R&B star Aaliyah was on top of the world celebrating the success of her multi-platinum albums by the time she was 18. In 1997, Inside Edition went shopping in New York City with the star. She spoke candidly about her career, influences and relationships, including a rumored marriage to R. Kelly. Sadly, Aaliyah's life was cut short in August 2001 when she died in a plane crash off the coast of the Bahamas. She was 22. #InsideEdition

She didn’t necessarily lie at that moment. She said “No, I’m not married” not “ I’ve never been married.”. Sometimes it’s about being extremely literal when wanting to tell the truth but want to omit certain things/situations when answering a question. At that time the marriage was annulled. No lie.

[@demetriuse.stroud4016]

Aaliyah never said a bad thing about r.kelly. in every interview she did never say a bad thing about r.kelly.

[@thefactsaccordingtogabbie149]

And he never said nothing bad about her. He really never wanted to hear or answer any aaliyah questions. Most likely they had a agreement to do so. To this day even her mom DON'T say nothing about or against him when the last time she spoke out.

[@realniggashit3]

​@@jaajaarogers9101 Aaliyah was far ahead of Beyonce despite being only 2 years older. She was a already a multi-platinum selling SOLO artist and accomplished actress when Beyonce was still with Destiny's Child. Rihanna is a total joke and doesn't even belong in this discussion. Slept with Jay-Z to get a record deal and then changed her image from Caribbean island princess to dark edgy rebel in "Good Girls Gone Bad". Only good at selling singles but didn't have a number one selling album until her SEVENTH album. Her entire image is totally fake.
