Aaliyah & R. Kelly Full Interview on Video Soul (1994)

[@tonicarter1322]

The female interviewer, Big Lez, was also a dancer. She is the woman dancing in the opening credits of Living Single.

[@Ilovechicago100]

Yup. She on Instagram and she still looks amazing.

[@92You.]

Wow! Didn’t know that

[@ShevetteJackson]

And with Michael Jackson remember the Time

[@girlbrittneygirl]

Whoa! That was her! The Bob was bobbing! LOL!

[@MongoSlade75]

Her voice is gorgeous... just hearing her talk is something else...

[@exysness]

Btw so cool you have the full clip. First time I'm seeing this.

[@supernova6472]

Aaliyah was so beautiful. Just look at her smile at 7:56!

[@lovely5397]

I remember seeing this interview as a kid so in love with their matching MICKEY MOUSE outfits, not realizing he was grooming her and US that looked up to her. We thought dating way older was a norm. Smh

[@diamondj1979]

Even people in these comments seem to think it's ok or somehow cute. SMDH

[@uniekthoughts]

I agree with 💯 % because I’m a victim as well I was 17 /18 I started dating the guy 6 mths before turned 18 however he was 23 Niether of our parents agreed 😕 I thought by going over my moms head and introduced him to my grandparents, they told me nothing was wrong in the age gap🤔 that it was ok to date so we did …fast forward now I have a 26 year daughter looking back I would have never allowed my 17yr to date a 23 … but doing that era growing up we looked at it as being cool , popular, thought it was a way of being cute🙄 however I’m not justifying anything also I’m not going to deny like this wasn’t a thing back in the day either…🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Jcrash71]

Thanks for the video IndiBud10x

[@sandracrump]

This interview is all over the place they clearly asked were they dating lol 😂 and then the man ask her about school and being a student lol 😂 clearly Robert was far from a student lol make it make sense !! Clearly there is a gap in age even when Rob talks about naming the album.

[@girlbrittneygirl]

A gap on age isn't the problem! She could have still been 18 and senior in highschool. Which means in the U.S.A she's would be considered an adult, legally.

[@Tony918hustler]

This is not the full interview they guy doesn't even introduce Big Lez and she doesn't introduce herself. And it still doesn't show Big Lez say Aaliyah the industry labeled you a Sex Symbol so it's not the full interview.

[@jai_b]

August 1994, Aaliyah was supposedly pregnant at this time and r kelly illegally married her on the 31st.

[@girlbrittneygirl]

You can tell Aaliyah was enamored of R Kelly. He was probably her first everything.

[@Videogamepro1997-f1z]

Sad but true

[@stacyr4768]

Random thought . R. Kelly looks better with braids .

[@diamondj1979]

I know and that makes me sad 😪

[@taylorwaylor8965]

Yeah I always thought they were in an inappropriate relationship and she looked more comfortable around him in interviews than with her mom and dad. It’s like he gave her some confidence in herself. It’s a shame nobody did anything until s***t hit the fan and that vibe magazine issue came out.

[@belladonna5904]

To me there looks like nervous tension.

[@armandoucles5346]

This interview is disturbing in so many ways. The way they are dressed alike and the way those two adult interviewers would ask if an underage girl is married to an adult man.

[@jamilahparker7176]

They asked her age in the interview. Clearly they didn’t know her age

[@Yaboyterrell]

1:03 “In The Whole Wide World” at 27 and she’s 15 it’s sick!!!

[@Tony918hustler]

Big Lez said to Aaliyah during the interview that the Music Industry labeled her a Sex Symbol.

[@keenanmiller6634]

It's been 30 years now.

[@rhoneayahj5373]

The fact she started off with that question and Aaliyah was only 14 maybe 15 years old is crazy!

[@Yoshfilmss]

It’s wild she didn’t disclose her age

[@girlbrittneygirl]

No it's not! If her and the record label's goal is to make her seem older/maturer than she really was for marketing purposes, why would she tell people her age, especially if she's trying to establish herself as artist to be taken seriously? Remember she was first of the trio to come out! Look at how she's dressed? Does she LOOK 15? No! Go look at Brandy's album cover. Go look at Monica's Album Cover. Neither one of those girls looked 15!

[@Therese-q5u]

@@girlbrittneygirlIt was to cover for R Kelly, they had just got married, she had been pregnant… he falsified the marriage certificate to say she was 18, she was only 15.

[@nasirwest6502]

Now he explained why numerous times… really fans know why.. she said she didn’t want ppl to focus on her age and rather listen to her talent..

[@Tony918hustler]

Big Lez said Aaliyah so the Industry has labeled you a Sex Symbol and Aaliyah said yes

[@kb4231]

This is wild and uncomfortable

[@Tony918hustler]

They lied to Aaliyah about what her name means. Allah the Most Gracious! Most Merciful is the Exalted in Might!

[@KuietstorhmEnt901]

I felt this chemistry when I was younger but it's cringe worthy even more now

[@uniekthoughts]

Yess

[@roslynq7477]

It's cute when she gets embarrassed about her album not being platinum yet and R. Kelly provides her some assurance. Her album was certified platinum just weeks after this interview. Their relationship was inappropriate but I think R. Kelly provided her with some confidence. I read she was nervous during her first video shoot and he would tell her how beautiful she looked and how she was going to be the best.

[@stacyr4768]

I believe they loved each other . You can feel the chemistry between them .

[@crunchnmunchsweettreats]

@@stacyr4768Y’all are so weird and as sick as he is, I can’t believe I share a world with disgusting creatures like y’all

[@MA-rn2xp]

​He was a predator PLEASE he could careless. He also allegedly messed with Aaliyahs mother too which explains why her mother never spoke out about this. He married her to avoid the possibility of Aaliyah testifying against him in court or against her alleged pregnancy with him.​ in the eyes of the law she wasn't able to consent regardless of how they felt. He has a history with underage girls like the tape with the 14 year old girl that came out in 2002 @@stacyr4768

[@AlaskaBeary413]

Both of these comments are INSANE. If she feels anything towards him, it’s a type of Stockholm syndrome. And it’s completely inappropriate for him to live her. There is NOTHING cute about any aspect of their relationship. If he helped her career and confidence, he did it purely as part of the grooming. Look at her, she’s a slightly insecure and nervous 15/16/17 year old who had no business being with a grown 20 something. Shame on him and shame on her parents.
