The Aaliyah App, created by the artist’s brother Rashad Haughton, helps to keep fans in the loop and allows users “to post videos up to three minutes long. The more likes, views, and connects a video receives, the higher it reaches on the app’s ‘hot page’,” per Digital Journal.
“It has been amazing to see the response we’ve had to the app so far. We appreciate the incredible outpour of support and talent from Aaliyah fans that is being shared on the app. It’s a real community of not only Aaliyah fans, but art and music lovers as well,” said Rashad.
The Aaliyah App was released after the long-awaited Aaliyah for M.A.C makeup collection that launched in June
