It has been more than two decades since the Princess of R&B, Aaliyah, passed away in a tragic plane crash that continues to make headlines. Over the years, several notable artists have come up, but none like the late singer who redefined the genre in her short career.
Given her fame, at 22, she was already in touch with some of the biggest names in the music world, including P Diddy and Jay-Z. In fact, it was at a party, which many believe to be Diddy’s white party, that she first met the love of her life.
Aaliyah Met the Man She Wanted to Marry at a White Party
Decades after her untimely death at the age of 22, Aaliyah remains as relevant a figure in the music world as she was when alive. Even today, details of her life, whether professional or personal, continue to make their way onto the internet and fan forums. While her singing career garners the most attention, her love life too continues to be discussed.

Linked with several A-list celebrities, the man she wanted to marry was actually the record executive Damon Dash. And the two first crossed paths at a party in Hamptons, hosted annually by the billionaire Michael Rubin, and not Diddy’s white party as many allege (seeBusiness Insider).
I didn’t go to those [Diddy’s] parties. I went to one in the Hamptons about 20 years ago with Aaliyah and that’s about it… Ain’t sh*t happen in the Hamptons. That’s the day I met [Aaliyah]. We hung out there and then we left and that’s what happened. That was 20 years ago, that was not in L.A. or Miami.
Revealed Dash in anInstagramlive (viaUS Weekly). While Dash wasn’t immediately interested in the singer, it was the later interactions with her that made him fall for her. First having met at a party, the two eventually started dating in 2000 and were apparently willing to marry ifthe plane crash hadn’t cut Aaliyah’s life short.
Aaliyah and Damon Dash were Planning to Marry
Damon Dash continues to miss Aaliyah decades after her death, but when he first met her, he did not like her initially due to her ‘tomboy’ style. But as he revealed on theThat’s F***ed Uppodcast, he was smitten by her by the time they crossed paths again.

Even though his relationship with Aaliyah led him to clash with best pal and business partner Jay-Z since he too wanted to go out with the singer, Dash just threw his ‘A-game’ and the rest is history. TheAt Your Besthitmaker and Dash continued to datetill her sudden death in 2001.
We were definitely gonna be married. As soon as she had time, we were getting married — like after ‘The Matrix.’ She was the one — she was definitely the one for me. It wasn’t an official proposal, we had just talked about it, you know?
Dash revealed in an interview withMTVfollowing Aaliyah’s passing, stating that there was no one like her in his life and that she was the best person he ever knew. What should have been the start of a beautiful relationship, ended in August 2001 with a plane crash, and since then Dash has continued to be outspoken about his relationship with Aaliyah despite having moved on in his love life.
