In a recent interview, comedian Bill Bellamy revealed a shocking moment from the early '90s involving R. Kelly and Aaliyah. Bellamy recounted how, in what he believes was 1993 or 1994, he was set to interview Aaliyah, then around 15 years old, alongside R. Kelly, who had produced her debut album "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number." The interview took place in the Hamptons, with both artists dressed in matching outfits. As Bellamy was successfully drawing Aaliyah out of her shyness and into an engaging conversation, R. Kelly abruptly ended the interview and left, taking Aaliyah with him. Confusion ensued among the TV executives present, as they had planned the segment to promote Aaliyah’s upcoming album. It later emerged that R. Kelly, who was secretly married to Aaliyah at the time, was likely acting out of jealousy. Despite the abrupt end to their first meeting, Bellamy revealed that he maintained a good relationship with Aaliyah and her family, conducting several more interviews with her later on.
