Aaliyah’s Estate Is Working To Release Her Music, but Fans Are Growing Impatient
Aaliyah’s estate recently released a statement saying they’re working to get the late singer’s music on streaming platforms after a years-long battle.
On Saturday, Aaliyah’s estate issued an update to bringing her music onto streaming platforms on what would’ve been her 42nd birthday. There has been an ongoing battle with the estate in an attempt to have Aaliyah’s music released.
In the statement, the estate assured fans that they’re doing everything in their power to make the music available, but they made it clear that it is not within their control. “Our inability to share Aaliyah’s music and artistry with the world has been as difficult for us as it has been for all of you,” they said.

Since Aaliyah’s tragic death back in 2001, her fans have been doing all they can to keep her legacy alive, and they think releasing her music will help do that. Many are pleading for her songs to be made available on streaming platforms so younger generations can have access to them and keep her music playing for years to come.
Aaliyah’s family/estate continues to drop the ball by not having her music on streaming services.

Aaliyah’s estate insists that their priority “has always been and will continue to be Aaliyah’s music,” but many aren’t buying it since this has been said for years. Fans are becoming frustrated and they aren’t understanding why the issue is taking so long to get resolved.
I worry about the youth not knowing Aaliyah’s music. That estate needs to work it out so we can get it streaming.

In the meantime, the estate has said that there will be more projects to honor Aaliyah’s legacy. Back in 2018, MAC released their MAC x Aaliyah lipstick line and many clothing stores sell apparel to help remember the singer.
I know Aaliyah’s estate released a statement but we REALLY NEED her music 💛

With no word on when her music will be made available, fans can only hope that it’ll be released soon. Until then, you can watch Aaliyah’s music videos on her YouTube channel.
