R.Kelly sold his album rights to Aaliyah’s family as an agreement that prevented them from pressing charges over illegal marriage.

Her uncle and the founder of Blackground records, Barry Hankerson, was still R.Kelly’s manager for years afterwards. Trust me, these child stars get pimped out by their parents everyday.

They knew what was happening, but he “crossed the line” once he married her and it got out.
This is why I said y’all have to have some Grace when dealing with women.


A lot of y’all do not understand the HELL that young girls go through. Especially if it’s a pretty little girl? There are a lot of sick ppl in the world, and that can include relatives.

A lot of ppl look the other way if there’s money to be made.

Yeah. I used to think pedos were exclusive to CACs and Hispanics, because it was rarely talked about openly amongst ourselves.

But the more black women I've spoken to, the more I realize how many have been victims and are suffering silently. Especially when their perpetrators were mainly family members who should’ve been protecting them. :francis:

So I understand having patience. There are few outlets outside of social media for black women to express and channel their hurt. Y’all don’t have the luxury of being openly vulnerable when the label of being “strong” has been associated with you.

So they strong armed him,and paid him for the rights at the same time:dahell:?

Why not get the rights for free? Aaliyahs family is in the business. So they could have bought the rights as a unrelated business move. Saying they took the rights to stay quiet makes it look a little more slimey on their part. Not really fair to demonize the family without facts.
