If you haven't already be sure to sign the on-going petition for Aaliyah's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame formed by one of our fellow Aaliyah Nation crew Albert Tsibu who has always been a pivitol part of the fanbase! We've been meaning to post this for a while now, but such as life, things can get hectic in our schedule 😅 Nevertheless, we are in full throttle mode, but we need your help as fans to get the peition to where it needs to be. Currently we have over 3,732 people who have signed the petition, which is amazing! Kudos to everyone who has and is still helping towards this movement. However, we can get way more signatures to get the ball rolling!
From Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails who was actually planning to collab with Aaliyah (she was a huge fan of their music with one of her favourite albums being Pretty Hate Machine as well as We're In This Together being one of her favourite music videos!
Then we have Jonathan Davis of Koяn who features on the Queen Of The Damned soundtrack (another fave of Aaliyah's). So it's clear to see that Aaliyah was never afraid to broaden her musical production outside the R&B genre. This is evident from the Red album, which showcases a diverse range of musical genres and callibre of vocals.
Help spread the word to anyone you know be it as friends, family and loved ones, and let us help Aaliyah get the flowers that she truly deserves 🙌🏽❤️

Not to mention, being a musical pioneer and game-changer from her debut in 1994 to even now after her passing. Aaliyah broke barriers, ground & records within her music and still continues to influence many acts within the R&B, pop & hip hop landscape. Everyone from Beyoncé, Rihanna & Drake to Normani, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande & The Weeknd among many other popular artists whom all have credited Aaliyah as a source of inspiration to their music and careers.
