American singer and actress Aaliyah Dana Haughton was born on January 16, 1979. She was reared in Detroit even though she was born in Brooklyn. She shared the stage with Gladys Knight at a concert when she was 10 years old and made her broadcast debut on the Star Search competition program.
When Aaliyah was 12 years old, she inked deals with Jive Records and Barry Hankerson’s Blackground Records. R. Kelly, whom Hankerson had introduced to her, served as her mentor, principal songwriter, and producer for her debut album, Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number.
Aaliyah’s children: Does Aaliyah have children?
No, Aaliyah did not have any children to discuss. R Kelly is believed to have gotten Aaliyah pregnant, and to avoid being accused of statutory rape, he bribed an Illinois state official to fake legal documents for Aaliyah and had her age changed from 15 to 18, so he could marry her until she had an abortion.
