#UNCLE FLEX ASHANTI BABY PROFESSIONAL#
Based on various reports, she was made to immediately cut professional ties with Kelly and the two never worked or were again seen together publicly. The Grammy winner even named Aaliyah's album and became the driving influence in her career, according to former Jive A&R Jeff Sledge.ġ8 Images All marriage documents are reportedly sealedĭespite rampant speculation as well as the Vibe article, neither party ever publicly affirmed they'd exchanged vows, though Aaliyah reportedly - at her outraged family's demand - filed to have the marriage annulled in Detroit in late 1995. ( Gladys Knight and Toni Braxton were also among Hankerson's clients.) When Aaliyah began recording Age Ain't Nothing But A Number at Illinois' Chicago Recording Company in 1993, Kelly was the creative mind in the studio, acting as a writer and performer, in addition to producing the project. Rewinding a bit, the pair first met through Aaliyah's uncle Barry Hankerson, who also happened to be Kelly's manager. The reason? The Detroit performing arts school student (born Aaliyah Dana Haughton) was just 15 years old when rumors began that she had married the album's 27-year-old executive producer: Robert Sylvester Kelly, better known as R. Aaliyah's 1994 debut album Age Ain't Nothing But A Number has sold more than six million copies worldwide, but the public wasn't exactly buying the title’s message when it came to the late R&B singer's secretive personal life.
