If Aaliyah were alive today, I’m sure she’d be showing these girls what R&B really is, but I know for DAMN sure her acting game would be on point and she would be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe somehow. #RIPAaliyah pic.twitter.com/ttCtrtXvDM

Wonder if Aaliyah if she were alive today would have been a big movie star, who she would be married to, and how many kids she would have.
Gone too Soon
