Damon Dash
Perhaps Jay did at one point want to win over Aaliyah, but it was his partner Dame Dash who ultimately won her heart. The two were madly in love during the last years of Aaliyah’s life and were even engaged to be married. Sadly, their love was cut short, but Dame still refers to her as one of the loves of his life.
“The energy we created together for people to observe was kind of crazy. We’d be in a roomful of people talking to each other and it felt like everyone was listening but it would be just us. It would be like we were the only ones in the room. It was like something was going down in history every time I was with her. Every time I was around her I felt it was the place to be. She was one of the best people I ever met. Even with the pain I felt, I would do it all over again.”
