11. The video message Aaliyah sent her friend's grandparents when she asked her to miss their party.
Aaliyah's choreographer Fatima missed her grandparents 50th wedding anniversary to be on the video shoot for 'Rock The Boat' in the Bahamas. To make up for it Aaliyah sent them a recorded message where she said; "I'm sorry I had to steal your granddaughter away from you on this special day, but I needed her, and I hope you have more great years together." Little did Fatima know, it would be the last moments she spent with Aaliyah. Picture: Getty
