West Coast rapper Game is feeling a certain type of way. This weekend, the hip-hop stud let the world know he’s tuned into late R&B icon Aaliyah.
The rapper jumped on Instagram Sunday (April 30) and paid homage to Aaliyah with a reference to her 2000 flick Romeo Must Die character.
Earlier this year, Brooklyn rapper Fabolous reflected on Aaliyah’s greatness.
In early 2017, digital giant Apple Music yanked the late singer’s Ultimate Aaliyah album off its streaming service.
Ultimate Aaliyah has been removed from both Apple platforms, suggesting that the longtime legal dispute that has kept the popular ’90s R&B singer’s music from being available through online retailers is still ongoing. This is reportedly due to Aaliyah’s uncle Barry Hankerson, who managed the singer, and his refusal to release her music digitally, as explained in a Complex magazine feature just one month prior to the digital appearance of Ultimate Aaliyah.

Back in August, Aaliyah’s ex-boyfriend Damon “Dame” Dash shared a personal message about her.
