NEWS : Drake Writes A Letter To Aaliyah

Written by Jerry Gadiano on 26 Aug 2010

Drizzy Drake wote an open letter to the late great Aaliyah today on the ninth anniversary of her tragic death. As you know one of the stand out tracks on Drake’s Thank Me Later album, Unforgettable featuring Young Jeezy, used an Aaliyah sample so it’s only right that hip hop’s smoothest guy sends a letter to everyone’s favourite ‘baby girl’…

Dear Dana,

I’ve never lost a parent, a friend, or a lover but I will never forget this day for the rest of my life. I remember getting the news that you had passed and it connected with my heart like a clean shot from Muhammad Ali. I was crushed. 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. I am pained that we will never get to connect now that music ended up being my career path. But you should know, we all listen to you everyday and we remain inspired and moved by all that you’ve given the world. I hope I make the right life choices so I can end up in heaven where I know you rest your head. I’ll continue to make music in your honor until the day we finally meet. Dinner’s on me!

Love you always and forever,

Drake

Aaliyah was one of R&B’s finest and she definitely left this earth way too soon, here’s one of my favourite Aaliyah tracks.
