You got to respect Aaliyah hustle!! She was pimping out Jay and Dame!!!

Rumors are flying around that the real reason Jay Z and Dame Dash fell out is because of Aaliyah:
Trying to stir up interest in his upcoming Roc-A-Fella documentary, reveals what everybody already knows that one of the reason’s behind the Dame Dash / Jay Z clash was Aaliyah. Choke tells Hip Hop Weekly,

“Both Jay and Dame was involved with a certain R&B singer, who I’m not gonna say her name out of respect ’cause she ain’t around to defend herself, but I believe that was a part of the initial friction. I was seeing Jay with her back around 2000, then Dame… …was with her after. All you have to do is look at the movie they did, Death of a Dynasty. In the movie they were fighting over a model. In real life she was a model, but singing is what she was known for first.”

You have to wonder if that will be addressed in Aaliayh new movie?  We all know how stunningly beautiful Aaliyah was, but promiscuous???

Canadian(Ontario)-born R&B singer Keisha Chante has been confirmed to play Aaliyah in a much-anticipated biopic set for release next year.

According to the National Post, the ink is dry on Chante’s contract to portray the R&B singer in the as-yet-titled biopic.

Chronicling the life of the R&B star that brought magic to both the screen and the studio, Aaliyah’s biopic will attempt to cover the singer’s journey up to her untimely death in 2001.

Chante, a successful R&B singer who released “2U” in 2006, will also star in a new television series entitled “Soul,” set to hit the ‘small screen’ early 2009.

The “Get To Know You” singer is also plotting the release of her third studio album due next year.

While a release date has not been set, the Aaliyah biopic is rumored to be hitting theaters mid-2009.
