Aaliyah Was Climbing High

 By Gail Nobles

Aaliyah was a singer, dancer, and actress. I think about how she was climbing all the time. I think of her everyday. I know what it’s like to be on your way to do something and something intervenes to stop you.

It is said Aaliyah was in the process of starting her own clothing line with her best friend, Kidada Jones, before her death in 2001. Aaliyah would have been a mega star and business woman just like the singer Selena Quintanilla was planning to do who also passed away.

Hearing about all the negative things that were surrounding the entertainment world, maybe it wasn’t meant for Aaliyah to finish succeeding. I’m sure God looked and God saw. I do not believe that God was finished with Aaliyah. I do not believe it was time for her to go. She was climbing high.

When Aaliyah died, I saw a lot of people hurting. I was hurting. God told me to remember Aaliyah, and that she was real.

Drugs, Prostitution, Murder, and Blackmail

Written by Gail Nobles 4/6/2026

In the 70s, 80s, & 90s, music seemed enjoyable and grand. The crowd screamed over their favorite stars, and when someone like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston made history, it was truly because of hard work and talent though they may have struggled drug addiction in their personal lives. They got where they got singing. 

But I saw change happening in the mid to late 90s. I began to see Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston go downhill as hip hop rose up large during the east coast and west coast rivalry. Even rap  music wasn’t the same. Our big rap stars like Tupac and Biggie were murdered.

Now today, we hear about R Kelly and see him in prison . We hear about Diddy and see him in prison. We hear about the death of Aaliyah and its story. There may be more to the story, and they all seem like one big camp tied to one another. We even hear about Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson hanging out with some of them. Whatever happened, it was spreading all over. 

What I have been hearing sounds like drugs, prostitution, murder, and blackmail. It may have been something that has been going on for years and maybe some people weren’t aware of it. Once upon a time, I wasn’t aware of it. I wanted to be a music star and make records. I could have been someone walking into something blind and could have gotten messed up. And I do believe someone like Michael, Whitney, and Aaliyah had good intentions. So far, that’s how I see it all.

Aaliyah - Let Me Down Easy

 Aaliyah sing’s the Isley Brothers song Let Me Down Easy so well. It doesn’t sound like the song belongs to the Isley Brothers anymore. It was a song she sang Acappella. Her voice is so smooth and soothing. You can feel feeling in her voice for the song. You can sense the emotions.

Diddy only 4 Yrs & R Kelly Got Life

 

Sean "Diddy" Combs was sentenced to 50 months (4+ years) in 2025 for convictions on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution, having been acquitted of more severe charges like racketeering and sex trafficking. R. Kelly received a much longer sentence (30+ years) after convictions on racketeering and sex trafficking, which involved a systemic, long-term pattern of abusing minors. 

I don’t understand what the difference is. They both are charged for terrible crimes. So why does Diddy only get 4 yrs. when they gave R Kelly 30 yrs. They have both been accused of racketeering. There should be no lesser charges. Racketeering is racketeering. Sex trafficking is sex trafficking. There should have been none whatsoever. I don’t understand the judgement.

Loved Ones That Die Today In Christ

 

Loved Ones Today: If your loved ones die today, it’s possible they join the general assembly of the redeemed in heaven. While they are "SAINTS IN HEAVEN," they are technically part of the group described in ( the "great MULTITUDE " in Revelation 7). 

 Rev. 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Aaliyah tribute on BET Tonight

It can be beneficial to revisit old videos from time to time. Reflecting on the past, many have described Aaliyah as a kind individual. Those who knew her spoke highly of her. It seemed she posed no threat to anyone; she was focused on her education and had aspirations for her future. However, the music industry can be a different environment altogether, seemingly filled with various cliques. I’m starting to think that Aaliyah would have thrived better if she had been surrounded by more supportive people.
