Crews 
I shared some classic Aaliyah visuals earlier today to celebrate the 14th anniversary of her tragic death but obviously I wasn’t the only one with Aaliyah on my mind. Janet Jackson took to Instagram this evening (August 25) to share a personally hand written note from herself to Aaliyah in honor of her anniversary. The note reads:
“What I shared with u ever sacred everlasting N it’s pure + it will endure
I love u Aaliyah
#RIP
J”

You may remember that Aaliyah was part of MTV’s “ICON” special to honor Janet back in 2001 before her passing. What you may not know is that the two were in the process of developing a strong friendship and were also slated to collaborate on music together.
“This is someone that I had the opportunity of meeting only once in my life because of Missy, and we hung out one night. And I really felt like we were gonna become really good friends,” Jackson said about the late singer. “What a sweet girl, and one of the most stunning looking women I have ever seen in my life in person, just absolutely gorgeous.”
Check out a clip of the two speaking of each other years ago.
