Are You Feeling It? Ciara Rocks A Tomboy Aaliyah-Inspired Ensemble

This past Tuesday (July 23), R&B singer Ciara hit the streets of NYC and partied it up with her boyfriend, rapper Future at her album release party. Once again, Cici was styled by marnxmarni and she showed off her die for abs in a black leather ensemble. The “Body Party” singer rocked a black top and leather overalls paired with lace-up boots. Some people aren’t feeling Cici’s new tomboy Aaliyah-inspired style but I like it a lot. Are you feeling it?

Model SESSILEE LOPEZ Gives Respect To AALIYAH By Recreating Her Image In The Block Magazine

First and foremost, I must admit that I love this spread! Domincan/Portuguese-American supermodel Sessilee Lopez is giving respect to the late great Aaliyah in her latest photo spread for The Block Magazine. The 23-year-old is a fan of the platinum-selling singer and actress who passed away on August 25, 2001 in a plane crash in Marsh Harbour, Abaco Islands, The Bahamas. I think Sessilee did a great job channeling Aaliyah. She is sexy! This issue hits newsstands on October 31. Check out the pics below:

Drake Confirms New Aaliyah Album; Says He’s Hoping To Get Everyone Involved

So now this entire new Aaliyah album rumor which is rumored to be executive produced by Drake is getting a little too confusing! Last weekend, I posted a new track from the late Aaliyah called “Enough Said” Ft. Drake and produced by Noah “40″. Many people including myself thought that Drake leaked the track, was wondering who gave him the approval to clear the sample or clearance to any of Aaliyah’s records and if Timbaland and Missy was left out of Aalyiah’s upcoming album.

On Tuesday, I reported that the track was indeed released by Aaliyah’s camp and Timbaland is involved in Aaliyah’s upcoming project. I also reported that Aaliyah’s brother Rashad, took to Facebook and stated that there is NO Aaliyah album in the works that is supported by her immediate family. “There is no official album being released and supported by the Haughton family,” said Aaliyah’s Brother Rashad Haughton.

Now the latest in this saga is that Drake confirmed with Much Music that he is working on an Aaliyah album with his producer Noah ’40’ Shebib and he is hoping to get everyone involved.

Drake Did NOT Leaked Aaliyah’s New Song; Timbaland Is Involved In Her New Album Which Is Not Supported By Her Immediate Family

Over this past weekend, I posted a new track called “Enough Said” from the late Aaliyah Ft. Drake which was produced by Noah “40″ Shebib. Many people including myself thought that Drake leaked the track, was wondering who gave him the approval to clear the sample or clearance to any of Aaliyah’s records and if Timbaland and Missy was left out of Aalyiah’s upcoming album.

The track was indeed released by Aaliyah’s camp and Timbaland is involved in Aaliyah’s upcoming project. Below is how Miss Info is reporting the story:

“According to our source, “Enough Said” was released by Aaliyah’s own label, Blackground Records, which is run by her uncle Barry Hankerson. The song wasn’t leaked by Drake.

As for how involved Drake is, I’m hearing he’s only on one song right now. But that Noah “40″ Shebib is producing a majority of the tracks. I’m actually looking forward to what 40 does with these unreleased vocals. His sound seems like a good match.

But for all the fans who can’t imagine an Aaliyah project without the input of Timbaland and Missy Elliott…great news! I’m hearing that Tim is getting involved. So far I’m hearing he’s producing 2 songs.”

All things in this case are not good! Aaliyah’s brother Rashad, took to Facebook and stated that there is NO Aaliyah album in the works that is supported by her immediate family. “There is no official album being released and supported by the Haughton family,” said Aaliyah’s Brother Rashad Haughton.

Is This A Hit In The Making? Aaliyah Ft. Drake “Enough Said”

Today Sunday (August 5), rapper Drake took to his OVO blog and posted a new track from singer Aaliyah called “Enough Said” Ft. Drake. This single was produced by Noah “40” Shebib and serves as the first track off Aaliyah’s upcoming album which is rumored to be executive-produced by Drake himself. Who gave Drake the approval to clear this sample or clearance to any of Aaliyah’s records? It is my opinion to say that Drake should had reached out to Timbaland and Missy to get them involved in this project. I think that would have been the proper way to handle this situation.

Back in April, Timbaland told New York’s Power 105 “Breakfast Club”, “If [Drake] do it, it should be with me and him and Missy. The best decision what the fans would want to see is all three of us. It can’t be something to make money off of ’cause I think it’s wrong to make money off the dead.”

Shout out to Aaliyah’s nephew Prince Ikeyy. I see you homie, holla at me! Lol. Listen to the track below:

Tatt My Name On You So I Know It’s Real: Drake Gets A Tattoo of Aaliyah

I guess Drake followed his own advice and tatt her name on him, so she know it’s real. Drizzy was photo’d playing tennis with a few of his friends and as he took his shirt off, someone snapped a picture of his back. It’s safe to say that Drake has a lot of love for Aaliyah. The talented rapper have gotten a tattoo of Aaliyah on his back.

This past summer, Drake was spotted at concerts wearing an earpiece with a portrait of the late singer as well as an explanatory tweet that read, “RIP Baby Girl.. in my ear at every show letting me know the next move I should make. Love you.” Drizzy also wrote a letter to Aaliyah on the anniversary of her death last year. In it he wrote, “Not only was I one of your biggest fans but I was truly in love with you. I loved the way you carried yourself, the way you dressed, the confidence with which you addressed passion and relationships in your music. I said to myself that even if we never met, I wanted a woman in my life just like you.”
