Janet Jackson Pens Tribute Letter To Aaliyah On Anniversary Of Her Death
Yesterday (August 25) marked the 14th anniversary of Aaliyah‘s tragic death, and many celebrities paid tribute to the singer on social media — including Janet Jackson.
The “No Sleeep” artist penned a heartfelt letter to Aaliyah, which she posted on Twitter. “What I shared with u [is] ever sacred, everlasting [and] it’s pure and it will endure. I love u Aaliyah. #RIP,” Janet wrote. She also added the caption “I know u r there shining down on me” — a nod to her 1997 The Velvet Rope single, “Together Again.”
Both Aaliyah and Janet were very expressive about being fans of each other, and even wanted a chance to work together. “I try to mention her in every interview because I want to meet her and maybe at some point in my career collaborate with her,” Aaliyah said in a 1997 interview with Rosie O’Donnell.
