@chroniclespeaks: #Aaliyah #BarryHankerson #ChronicleSpeaks Aaliyah’s tragic passing has been discussed for 25 years, but a bitter family lawsuit is now bringing a shocking allegation into the public record. In this video, we break down the legal battle between Aaliyah’s uncle and Blackground Records founder Barry Hankerson and his son, Jomo Hankerson. In Barry’s court filing, he alleges that Jomo was paid to accompany Aaliyah and coordinate her travel for the 2001 “Rock the Boat” video shoot in the Bahamas—and claims the fatal travel “may have been avoided” had Jomo fulfilled that responsibility. We’re going through the actual court documents, while also revisiting the heartbreaking circumstances surrounding Aaliyah’s final trip: reports that she was uncomfortable with small planes, Damon Dash’s account of Lenny Kravitz offering his private jet, the aircraft that ultimately carried Aaliyah and her team, the overloaded plane, questions surrounding the pilot, and the lawsuits that followed her death. We’ll also discuss Blackground Records’ subsequent lawsuit seeking millions in alleged lost profits following Aaliyah’s passing—and why Barry bringing his own son’s alleged role in coordinating Aaliyah’s travel into court 25 years later raises so many new questions. Important: Barry Hankerson’s statements concerning Jomo are allegations contained in his court filings. They do not establish that Jomo legally caused or was responsible for the plane crash. What exactly was Jomo supposed to arrange? And if Barry believed his failure contributed to Aaliyah ending up on that fatal flight, why are we only hearing this now?
