Alright, it's time to talk about Aaliyah Dana Haughton...

[Mister Obvious]

What about the music lable, producer, etc.?

Seems like the obvious suspects, and I'll be honest...

I used to be suspicious of Damon himself. But after seeing that interview... nah.

Aaliyah's own uncle started a record label just to sign Aaliyah to it after a lot of labels turned her down... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackground_Records

Kinda rare to be able to do such a thing without running across any "Crossroads Agreement" moment...

Just saying.

And we know that when kids are made famous, it's usually their parents who made the crossroads agreement in their place.

Aaliyah was in the spotlight since she was a very small child, so for her, this was probably the case.
