Diggy Simmons downplaying Aaliyah's Death??

: Diggy Simmons tweets "RIP to Aaliyah's death", then in the next tweet promotes his "Scream Tour". When asked twice if he was downplaying Aaliyah's death, he didn't respond. It would be nice to hear from him about this since it seemed he was the artist that interacts with fans even on social networks like Twitter.

Nothing classy about what he did. Aaliyah was a classy chic and how Diggy carried her death was some straight garbage!


jdubwhitey

These music celebs think they age give them a pass to carry it. I think he think cuz he in his daddy tv show along wit him being a reverend and his uncle a business dude that he too uppidty to answer us commenters... He was only 6 when Aaliyah passed. You think he even know about Aaliyah like that?

FRANKIE IS NYCSUCK


spragga_01

YOU RESTING NYCSUCK NOW HUH?...SINCE ITS IN EVERY THREAD NOW HUH.


ThatGirlYouDig

RIGHT, what could he know about Aaliyah, other than what his "fam" told him. He's just taking advantage of the situation. He's taking the game for granted. He feels like its a big deal to be in the game when in reality he ridin off his fam.


SmeeZez

moronz... he said rip time to move on u *** faces that b!!tch lucky he even tweeted RIP for her


jdubwhitey

moronz and f*k facess? really though? Who says that now and days except white people? Look Casper get a tan and grow some facial hair b4 you try to get ur grown man on...anyway

2 that girl u dig u hit dat on the nail and he needs to answer for downplayin Aaliyah's death. It's too many ppl not over her death still and for him to move on just cuz his fam got him in the game deems him undeserving to even be in the game


ShutUpPlease

You need to stop. He doesn't need to answer to anything. He didn't have to pay respect to her at all but he still did that. Then you want to get mad at him for promoting himself in another tweet? Is his world supposed to stop because it was the anniversary of Aaliyah's death? Come on now. Get real.


jdubwhitey

Shutupplease must be the Russell simmons hired help. Reality is, it's too many ppl not over her death and he's undeserving to be in the game for not going about it with integrity.


ShutUpPlease

Then you must be Aaliyah's PR team that hasn't been able to find work for the past 10 years. Again, he paid his respects to her and he didn't even have to do that. Answer my question: Was his world supposed to stop after he had done that? How was it not done with integrity? Just because you are overly sensitive doesn't mean everyone else is. Funny thing is, you happen to be the only one really complaining about it.


jdubwhitey

Russell Simmons needs to stop doing yoga next time he selects who his hired help is gonna be. If Diggy had any integrity he woulda responded. Another reality is you're the only one really disagreeing.


ThatGirlYouDig

Wow, really calling people f***faces and moronz? I already see your angle. Ima need you to have some respect for women. So its cool to say RIP and be on to the next thing before you blink?


ShutUpPlease

...and Aaliyah's broke azz PR team should have updated their resumes so that they could find another job instead of fighting for her justice for 10 years. If the internet is too much for your sensitive azz, then stay off of it. LOL. You're right, he should have said RIP, made a sandwich, watched some tv, skyped with his girl, went out for a jog, then came back and promoted himself in another tweet. What's actually the cut off time since you seem to know the integrity timetable? You lames are hilarious.


ShutUpPlease

Another thing, what makes you think he should respond to your broke azz anyway? Who the hell are you or anyone else that questions him? Consider yourself lucky that I even responded to you.


flyboyintl1

I understand the eruptions over this but yall is blowing this out of portion. Besides he did say Rest in peace.


jdubwhitey

When ppl ask him questions he answers, all of a sudden he gets asked this question and he doesn't answer when he normally interacts? He's not ready for the game and never was, just a puppet from his whack daddy who claims he's a reverend but couldn't preach to his homey Jam Master Jay to get out the hood. Yeah Jay is dead becuz of Run. Another thing, who is broke? It's money over here and not that passed down from the family money either. The better question is who are you besides a low down poor excuse for a Russell Simmons hired helped?


jdubwhitey

He didn't let time elaspe so he put rest in peace and his tour in the same category. YOU DON'T DO THAT. The fact that he doesn't even know what integrity is?..Like I said, the reality of it is you're the only one disagreeing that he's undeserving to be in the game for not going about it with integrity.


jdubwhitey

When another music celeb devalues Aaliyah like that, you're undeserving of being in the game.


ThatGirlYouDig

Aaliyah isn't here to defend herself from people who play it like she had no value to the industry. If it wasn't for her, there would be no Ciara dancing around the stage or Lady GaGa or Riahanna singing hooks for major players in the industries. Besides, don't get it twisted, ALL YALL KNOW that yall knew ALL the dance moves to "Are You That Somebody" when it came out back in the day. You don't have to like her, you can agree or disagree with what the media/people said her ways were, or even her singing, but you can't knock that she sold albums, could dance, and paved the way. How can people sit up here and disrespect somebody that isn't alive to defend themselves?


standard

Honestly yall I don't c what the big deal is. I mean he did tweet RIP Aaliyah forever will b missed.....What is he not suppose to tweet nothing else for the rest of the nite. If he didn't say anything yall would've had something to say about that. Watching a few esipodes of Run's House I don't think Rev and Justine would've raised cold hearted kids. Give him a break. I really don't c the disrespect

jdubwhitey2

Had to copy and paste one of my previous responses for you because that was the most appropriate response


jdubwhitey2

2 that girl u dig these music celebs have no respect for the legacy ppl leave once they die. Another case of no integrity which means you are definitely undeserving to be in the game. If you're a new music celeb especially and you *** out a dead music celeb who came before you, how can you just walk around ppl of integrity like Aaliyah and not take the time to actually address her contributions to the world to actually show that you're a new music celeb with integrity not just another music celeb taking the game for granted like what he did?


jdubwhitey2

like what he is doing?**


WorkerBee

Wow! This is the most disrespectful thing I've seen ever. I'm surprise my staff hasn't seen this thread yet.


ThatGirlYouDig

I feel you! I'm poppin in Aaliyah CD ASAP to counter the rude comments. If Diggy thought being a Rev Run kid would make being in the game a cake walk, it ain't. Wonder if he has a gameplan to counter the bad moves made by him and his fam.


jdubwhitey2

Right! God is shakin His head sayin, "See what happens when you don't listen to me?"


OpenBlouse

@jdubwhitney2... u gotta be young. (I swear I aint trying to start with you or anything), its just that youre so worked up about nothing. Diggy Simmons is new to the game. Yeah, his family paved a way for him, but think about it. It was only Twitter. He didn't snub Aaliyah on a national talk show, or during a live performance. Diggy Simmons good, he aint mean no harm, okay. He love Aaliyah just like the rest of us. Now lets all sip some black coffee and Hav a grat day!!


OpenBlouse

"great" day (correction)


ThatGirlYouDig

I feel you. They don't listen to God anymore, they definitely disrespect Him all the time and they don't get pumped up about Him as well. Because of Diggy devaluing Aaliyah, I know God reanalyzed the whole Hip Hop game and is holding Diggy and his family up for the whole would to see like, "Will you now remember how I removed them so I don't remove you too?"


jdubwhitey2

Right! BTW isn't Jojo outraged that he never had a rap career while his baby brother had one?


ThatGirlYouDig

Now JoJo is glad Diggy's career is done.


jdubwhitey2

That's some funny ish. Isn't there a pic out there with Jojo wearing his sister's shoes?


ThatGirlYouDig2

It just got deleted. I know Diggy's plans were to be King of Rap when he's #diggydone. Like the trending topic today, #areyouseriousbro


jdubwhitey2

That's blasphemy. Freshaun is Kingf off Rap and anyone who doesn't believe that is out the game and out of God's grace.


ThatGirlYouDig

Yep. Freshaun definitely has the throne.
