On Tuesday, Missy Elliot took to Instagram to post a throwback photo for what would have been Aaliyah‘s 39th birthday.
“Aaliyah so many people LOVE your Style & Music TIL this day!,” Elliott wrote on Instagram along with four photos of herself and Aaliyah. “I wish they all got a chance to meet you to see how CARING you were to EVERYONE you met!”
Elliot died tragically at the age of 22 in August 2001. She had been filming a “Rock the Boat” music video shortly before the fatal plane crash over the Bahamas.
Others took to social media to remember Aaliyah, including Timbaland. You can read some of the Twitter remembrances below.
