On AFRO TV’s POV show, Dame Dash recounted dating Aaliyah from 2000 until her tragic plane crash death in 2001, insisting Jay-Z had tried and been turned down before him. He described both men among many in the industry bidding for her attention, with no success until his own mutual connection—she was 21 then, years after her annulled teenage marriage to R. Kelly. Long-persisting rumors of a Jay-Z romance lack evidence, as Aaliyah herself denied in past interviews, and Dash framed the narrative as media-twisted while praising her boundless potential. The exchange revisited hip-hop lore amid reflections on past friendships and splits.
