Dame Dash Is Mad At Hype Williams for Aaliyah’s Death

Roc-A-Fella co-founder Dame Dash has revealed why he was ‘tight’ with video director Hype Williams for his former girlfriend, Aaliyah’s death. It’s been 20 years since Aaliyah lost her life in a horrific plane crash at 22-years-old.

There hasn’t been one day since she’s passed, not one, in twenty years, that I haven’t heard her name, heard her record, or seen a picture of her. Every single day she’s present in my life and I feel lucky for that,” said Dame.

Dash recalled flying to Miami to meet up with Aaliyah as she was filming "Rock The Boat" with director Hype Williams. Dame shared that he told Aaliyah that Hype would try to squeeze in one more day and he advised her not to do it.

When she actually saw the plane She said ‘I don’t like this plane.’ I was like, ‘Well, don’t get on it.’ She was like, ‘Well, I got to because I got work to do,'” Dash said. “She got on the plane and she always had a very serious fear of planes in general, so she had to overcome a fear to get on that plane on the way there. But what I was really more tight about was that I had heard that Lenny Kravitz had offered her a jet and that Hype had took the jet. So, that’s what really pissed me off about the situation when I heard about that. You can ask Hype about that.

Entertainment Tonight asked Dame if he had spoken to Hype about it and how that conversation went, Dame answered, “Ask him.” He continued, “Because of my respect for Aaliyah and her family… Everyone’s respectful of her memory. No one really speaks on it… So in respect for her memory, I don’t say a lot of things.
