Remembering Aaliyah through Missy Elliott, 9 years later

Can you believe its been 9 years since the tragic passing of the beautifully talented Aaliyah? Hard to believe is an understatement.

MTV interviews Missy Elliott, longtime friend + collaborator about the r&b star. She remembers…

We’ve had so many memorable times. My most memorable is when me, her and Tim wore outfits alike! It was burgundy Pony outfits to the awards. Mind you, Aaliyah was petite so her Pony outfit looked so cute on her, but I kept looking at mine during the awards whispering to her saying, “I feel like a big-ass pony for real!” And we laughed and laughed! Too many memories to state them all! If she was still with us, she would still be at the top. Because she always stayed pushing herself to be better.

August 25th will always be a sad day for us over here too. What are your favorite Aaliyah moments? -- LADY
