R&B star died in a plane crash! His words before his death surfaced years later.
The message that 22‑year‑old R&B star Aaliyah, who lost her life in a plane crash in 2001, sent to her former boyfriend Damon Dash before her death resurfaced years later. Dash said that the famous singer had expressed her concerns about the plane before the flight and that she was afraid to fly.
A new detail about the plane crash that claimed the unforgettable name of R&B music, Aaliyah, in 2001 has surfaced. In a statement made in the 25th year after his death, the artist's former boyfriend Damon “Dame” Dash said that Aaliyah had expressed her concerns about the flight to him shortly before the crash.
The 22‑year‑old Aaliyah lost her life in the plane crash that occurred on 25 August 2001 in the Bahamas. Eight people aboard the aircraft, including the artist, also lost their lives.
The “I never liked the plane” message
In an interview, Dash said that Aaliyah had finished shooting the music video for “Rock the Boat” and was preparing to leave the Bahamas.
According to Dash, the young singer sent him a message expressing her discomfort about the flight before the trip. It was noted that Aaliyah’s message said, “I never liked the plane.”
Dash said that he advised Aaliyah not to take the flight, but that she had to return because of the music‑video shoot.
It Turned Out He Was Afraid of Flying
Dame Dash said that Aaliyah generally feels uneasy about flights and that she was also restless about the airplane before the trip.
However, after the music video shoot, Aaliyah boarded the plane to return to Florida. The aircraft crashed shortly after taking off from Marsh Harbour Airport in the Bahamas.
Details That Grabbed Attention in the Accident Report
The investigation conducted after the accident found that the plane had taken off with approximately 317 kilograms of excess cargo and that the load distribution was also uneven.
The report also noted that the pilot lacked the necessary authority to operate the aircraft and that a banned substance was found in his blood.
After the accident, Aaliyah's family sued the production company involved in the transportation arrangements. The parties reached a confidential settlement in 2003, ending the lawsuit.
"Rock the Boat" video released after her death
About two months after Aaliyah's death, the video for the song "Rock the Boat" was released. The artist's sudden death sent shockwaves through the global music community while her career was still in its early stages.
Despite the years that have passed, details about Aaliyah's death continue to surface, and former boyfriend Damon Dash's statements about messages sent before the accident have drawn attention as a new detail concerning the artist's final hours.
