There has long been speculation about the relationship between R. Kelly and his then-protege, up-and-coming singer Aaliyah. But Lifetime’s “Surviving R. Kelly” docuseries, which aired earlier this year, revealed a disturbing legal agreement between R. Kelly and Aaliyah’s family. The allegations suggest that Kelly sold the rights to his first three albums to Aaliyah’s family in exchange for their silence regarding the annulled marriage between R. Kelly and the late singer, who died in 2001 in an airplane crash.
Aaliyah was first introduced to R. Kelly by her uncle, music executive and manager Barry Hankerson.
The docuseries, which focused on R. Kelly’s 2022 federal trial for sex crimes, shed light on the non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Aaliyah’s musical journey began at a young age, and her debut album, “Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number,” was released in 1994 when she was just 14 years old. R. Kelly was her mentor, lead songwriter, and producer. At the time, rumors circulated about a romantic relationship between the 15-year-old Aaliyah and the 27-year-old R. Kelly, Variety reported.
According to the docuseries, Aaliyah and R. Kelly secretly married in August 1994 when she was only 15 years old. The marriage certificate falsified her age as 18. The marriage was later annulled by Aaliyah’s parents in February 1995. Interviews with individuals close to R. Kelly’s camp gave new details about the alleged NDA forged between the now-convicted singer and Aaliyah’s family. Aaliyah’s family members would not to comment on these allegations during the production of the docuseries.
