Did DMX and Aaliyah date?
While Haughton s sentimental post doesn t confirm a potential romantic relationship between the two, this does come after DMX named his own daughter after Aaliyah. The rapper and the R&B singer s relationship dates back to their 2000 collaboration in the film Romeo Must Die , where they starred opposite each other, and released a single for the film’s soundtrack called Come Back in One Piece . Ever since, although neither he nor anybody close to the couple ever confirmed their relationship, the rapper was never shy of professing his deep fondness for the singer, long after her tragic demise.
