Haughton <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CS-EPMOl3FW/">penned a post shared on the official Instagram account for the singer</a>, ran by her estate, to condemn the author and share the changes she plans to make at the gravesite."Due to the behavior of an individual that has been to Aaliyah's resting place in order to promote a book, I have been forced to make a drastic change at Ferncliff Cemetery and Mausoleum," Haughton wrote in part on Instagram Tuesday, referring to her daughter's burial site in Westchester County, New York."This person interrupted all my thoughts and ideas to make August 25th, 2021 a day of Remembrance and Love for my daughter," she continued, noting the day her daughter died due to a fatal plane crash in the Bahamas, where she was shooting her final <keyword id="11898471" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="music" source="Orion">music</keyword> video, "Rock the Boat." Aaliyah was 22."Please accept my sincere apologies for this and know I love you and always will. Aaliyah's life will still shine no matter what," Haughton added.Although Haughton never named anyone specifically, author Kathy Iandoli, who penned an unauthorized biography of Aaliyah titled "Baby Girl: Better Known as Aaliyah," <a href="https://twitter.com/kath3000/status/1430283754111709184">responded on Twitter.</a>"I did not promote my book outside of Aaliyah's gravesite," she said Tuesday. "That is offensive to even suggest. I have been told that fans have had my book there with them. Please no longer bring my book to Ferncliff. Apologies that fans can not visit Aaliyah's resting place."In an <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2021/08/aaliyahs-life-and-legacy">interview with Vanity Fair</a>, Iandoli said explained what motivated her tell Aaliyah's story."The conversation that's surrounded Aaliyah has been so disjointed," she said. "We're now getting the most negative parts of the highlight reel, and I wanted to not only flip the narrative but really hold a magnifying glass to the narrative and show who she was."Aaliyah's name has been in the news recently as R. Kelly is currently on trial for a <a href="https://www.insider.com/r-kelly-sex-crimes-trial-racketeering-allegations-explained-2021-8">long list of allegations</a>, including accusations that he bribed a government official to obtain a fake ID so Kelly could marry Aaliyah when she was 15 years old. Kelly has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.<a href="https://www.insider.com/r-kelly-married-aaliyah-to-get-abortion-accuser-testifies-2021-8">Insider's Haven Orecchio-Egresitz reported</a> that a former girlfriend of R. Kelly testified in the courtroom Tuesday that he married Aaliyah "because she was underage and needed the permission of her parents or 'a spouse' to get an abortion."Iandoli also shared that the Haughton family declined to work with her on the book although she "did reach out to the family for permission," she said in VF. She continued: "I did the due diligence of asking because that was the first line, like I wanted that for myself as a person who respected her family, but it didn't work out."

The album's eighth track, "TSU," lists Kelly as a cowriter due to an instrumental sample in the intro."On a song called 'TSU' at the beginning is a sample of OG Ron C talking," Shebib explained in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CTaiup2JY18/">a comment on Instagram</a>, referring to the longtime Houston DJ and owner of <a href="https://chopnotslop.com/">Chop Not Slop Radio</a>.Shebib, who is not credited as a producer on "TSU," explained that Kelly's 1998 single "Half on a Baby" is playing in the background of OG Ron C's vocals. "It has no significance no lyrics are present, R Kelly's voice isn't even present but if we wanted to use Ron C talking we were forced to license it," he wrote. "Doesn't sit well with me let me just say that.""I'm not here to defend Drake's lyrics, but I thought I would clear up that there is no actual R Kelly present and it's a bit misleading to call him a co lyricist," he continued. <div type="image" title="R kelly trial illusration" height="1987" width="2649" msid="86023336" hostid="261"></div>Shebib went on to say that he's been reading <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Baby-Girl-Better-Known-as-Aaliyah/Kathy-Iandoli/9781982156848">"Baby Girl: Better Known as Aaliyah,"</a> a biography of the late R&amp;B singer written by journalist Kathy Iandoli.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges."The recounts of some of that stuff is horrific and disgusting," Shebib said of Aaliyah's biography.
