Baby, we don’t talk enough about how Lenny Kravitz apparently sent Aaliyah a plane before she died because she was uncomfortable with the other one. I mean, why was Lenny the one sending Aaliyah a plane? How did he know she was uncomfortable, and what kind of relationship did they have that he was the one who stepped in when she was uneasy about the scheduled flight?
Sit down, loves, because here’s what really got me. I heard that Lenny Kravitz had offered Aaliyah a jet, but Hype Williams ended up taking it. That’s what truly pissed me off when I found out. Have you ever asked Hype about it? Damon Dash is the one who spilled the tea that Lenny was trying to help Aaliyah and her team get back from the Bahamas because she had concerns. But Hype took the plane instead. What was Hype doing taking a plane meant for Aaliyah? Did he know something was going to happen to her? And why was Lenny the one sending the plane in the first place? Before we even get into that, can we talk about why Aaliyah’s management and her family weren’t the ones arranging a plane for her?
We already know that Aaliyah’s family benefited from her fame and showed little regard for the price she had to pay. Aaliyah’s uncle Barry even mentioned that some family members, including her mother, were aware of what was happening with R. Kelly but did nothing about it. When asked if anyone knew about the issues with R. Kelly at the time, the response was, “No, didn’t have a clue, completely ignorant to it.” However, it’s believed that Aaliyah’s mother knew more than she let on.
There is also the issue of Uncle Barry receiving $90 million after Aaliyah’s death, especially since rumors suggested she was planning to leave his label once her album was released. Barry signed a liability agreement just five days before her passing, absolving Blackground of responsibility if anything happened to her. This indicates Barry’s primary concern was recovering his money and exploiting his niece. It’s always been clear that his interest was in the money Aaliyah brought in for Blackground, not in her well-being. The lingering question is why he signed that liability agreement just days before her tragic death, hinting that he, like Hype Williams, might have known what was about to happen.
You know, there’s been a lot of speculation about Aaliyah’s death, and some of the details are pretty eerie. Like, she talked about this dream in an interview just before she passed, where she felt like someone was chasing her, but then she’d escape by flying away. It’s almost like she was hinting at something, you know?
And then there’s the weird thing with Hype Williams deciding last minute to shoot her video in the Bahamas instead of Miami, even though everything was set up there. No one really knows why he made that call.
And Aaliyah’s fear of flying adds another chilling layer. She always flew with family because she hated it so much, but that one time she had to go alone, tragedy struck. She even had a bad feeling about the plane but felt like she had to get on it for work. It’s all just so tragic and mysterious.
Moreover, there were serious concerns about the small plane. It was reported that the aircraft exceeded its maximum weight limit by several hundred pounds, which would have made it more difficult to control once airborne. Adding to these worries, there were allegations that the pilot had falsified his license and was intoxicated at the time of the incident.
In her book “Baby Girl: Better Known as Aaliyah,” Kathy Iandoli recounted an incident involving Kingsley Russell, a 13-year-old whose family owned a taxi and hospitality business in the Abaco Islands. On August 25, 2001, Kingsley was with Aaliyah as they headed to the airport for her return flight to the US. According to Russell, when Aaliyah saw the overweight plane, she refused to board and returned to the cab. A member of her team then gave her a sleeping pill, after which she fell into a deep sleep and was carried onto the plane.
The decision to carry Aaliyah onto the plane while she was asleep, despite her clear reluctance to board, raises significant questions. It also brings attention back to Lenny, with ongoing speculation that he arranged the plane for Aaliyah and that it should not have departed without her boarding first. There is uncertainty about whether Aaliyah knew in advance that Lenny had arranged the plane for her, as some speculate she may not have had her phone with her to receive any such message.
There’s ongoing speculation about Lenny’s intentions with Aaliyah and whether their relationship involved more than friendship, prompting him to arrange the plane. Aaliyah was widely admired in the industry, with many men openly expressing interest in her. R. Kelly’s controversial relationship with Aaliyah, where he illegally married her when she was underage, underscored this. Aaliyah, when asked, chose not to delve into the details, simply stating, “Leave it alone.”
Jay-Z also expressed interest in Aaliyah, confirmed by Damon Dash, who mentioned Jay-Z’s pursuit and his surprise at discovering it. Allegations suggesting Jay-Z’s involvement in Aaliyah’s tragic plane crash have surfaced, speculating that it was orchestrated as a consequence of her rejection of him, purportedly to elevate Beyoncé’s career.
It’s come to light that Timbaland had feelings for Aaliyah, admitting they began when she was very young. In a 2011 episode of E! True Hollywood Story, Timbaland revealed he was romantically drawn to Aaliyah right from their initial meeting. This revelation coincided with the time they were working on Aaliyah’s second album, “One in a Million,” when she was just 16 and he was 23. Reflecting on his emotions, Timbaland shared, “I have a secret to share. I was in love with her. But I had to tell myself, she’s too young, like a little sister. I fought those feelings, a real battle, but I truly loved Aaliyah.”
Could Lenny have been another admirer of Aaliyah? What’s troubling is the unanswered questions surrounding why he sent her a plane, especially since she never boarded it. It raises concerns: why hasn’t he addressed this openly?
