Drake has never been shy about his love for Aaliyah. The “Take Care” rapper has tattooed the late singer’s face on his back and sampled her song on his debut Thank Me Later. While he never got a chance to work with her while she was alive, he revealed that a posthumous collaboration may be in the works.


“I have some great Aaliyah news coming soon. Some special things,” the 25-year-old told Tim Westwood.

When asked if it had to do with a rumored posthumous project of her unreleased recordings, he remained coy. “Just some special things, you know. Great things for music, period.”

Drizzy shared his admiration for the “Try Again” songstress, who passed away at the age of 22. “I think more than anything Aaliyah always made music that was never uncomfortable for me to listen to,” he explained.

“You know it’s hard for me to ride around to a female singer because at the end of the day, you’re a man, but she always kept it so G with the writing and the melodies. It was something to ride to, especially when it was chopped and crewed. That’s when I used to love Aaliyah the most.”

What if he uses some unreleased tracks?

His stanning for Aaliyah borderlines of pure creepiness to me.

Because one of the most critically acclaimed & successful rappers wanted her in his song?
Bye.

I feel like the end result will be in poor taste.

Release the video for Take Care first.

But Unforgettable was a hip-hop masterpiece so...


Aaliyah and Drake Two of my favorite artist

People will never forgive him if this video never shows

EXACTLY.

It's one thing to be a fan, but between the huge tattoo of her face on his back, the open letter, him constantly talking about her and a few of the songs he has completely ripped her off in or else used her lyrics; it goes beyond even stanning. He needs to stop.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to know what's wrong with him

Post a picture of the tattoo. I thought that was just a rumor

he's really obsessed with Queen Aaliyah

May be if people stopped asking him about her then he will stop..Why is it anybodys problem if he loves her. I see most of you sleep in atrl and twitter 24/7 arguing and drooling about your favorite yet no one calls you out on it. don't you think that is called obsession too.

I kinda agree with his obsession with her...its a bit over the top...they quoted him saying she kept it G with the writing and everybody knows she never wrote her own material.

But the nerve of anybody acting like him sampling her work or ****ing with anything in her discography would be bad as if he's a lessor artist than her. Aaliyah slays but lets not act like her content was critical masterpieces. She was creating the blueprint that artists like Ashanti, Ciara and Keri Hilson followed not Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys.

I'm not understanding your logic here, especially when Beyonce and Alicia Keys praised her on various occasions, so you can have several seats.

I feel like when an artist passes away their material should remain untouched.
