Intergenerational impact! Backstage, Missy Elliott reflected on Aaliyah’s enduring legacy and the influence she continues to have on music, culture, and generations of artists. #ESSENCEFest

Look at the smile on her face remembering Aaliyah. That's genuine friendship, sisterhood, and love.

💯 all of this! Aaliyah was ahead of her time, gave so much in a short time and showed she was going to be that MEGA Superstar. We miss you, #Aaliyah 🤍🕊️

@aaliyah The tribute was beautiful 🌹😍 Aaliyah is so missed 🙏🏿🌹 Thank you @MissyElliott @MYAPLANET9 and the others 🌹

Yeah. These 2 will be remembered 60 years from now like The Beatles, Elvis, and Frank Sinatra. 😂🤡😂🤡😂

You're some kind of black joke right?

She’s so sweet !

Would someone @Essence tell ‘M.Y.M.Y’ the classic move by loser libs is to block those who have facts to back up their debate.

Absolutely never heard of her.
