Drake has long pronounced his love for the late Aaliyah, tattooing the singer’s face on his back and wearing an earpiece baring her image during all of his shows. Back in the summer of 2012, Drizzy dropped a song featuring unreleased vocals from her, and revealed that soon, an entire collaborative album with himself and unheard music from Aaliyah would be released.
Plenty of delays and negative comments from people close to her and not so close (like fans) later, the project has been officially kicked to the curb. OVO’s in-house producer Noah ’40′ Shebib dropped the news in a new interview with Vibe, saying, “The world reacting to Drake’s involvement so negatively, I just wanted nothing to do with it. Ultimately, I wasn’t comfortable and didn’t like the stigma.”
“We released ['Enough Said'], but I was seven songs deep,” the producer added. “[Aaliyah's] mother saying, ‘I don’t want this out,’ was enough for me. I walked away very quickly.” Damn, I wanted to hear this!
