Aaliyah Petition To Get Her inducted In The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
Tsibu highlighted the longstanding impact of Aaliyah’s career on today’s entertainment landscape.
The fan’s petition is making waves on the internet more than 20 years after the performer’s tragic death.
“Aaliyah’s presence and influence is still being felt throughout the world of music, fashion, film and pop culture. As Aaliyah once stated in her 2001 episode of MTV Diary, she wanted to be remembered as a full-on entertainer and someone who did it all,” Tsibu noted.

Many artists have sampled or collaborated with Aaliyah in recent years, and the late performer’s posthumous album Unstoppable has yet to be released.
“Aaliyah being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame would not only be fitting for a musical legend. [It would also be] well-deserved for someone who is still influencing a new generation of artists and musicians with her innovative body of work [which] stands the test of time to this very day,” penned Tsibu.
