Nope. It was talked about a lot, because it was shocking that this grown man married a teenager. It was talked about on black radio and black publications at the time. The more Aaliyah blew up; the more it was talked about. It was talked about some more when she died; so this has been discussed through two centuries and several decades.
What people don’t want to admit to themselves is that this has been allowed to go on in entertainment circles since forever. People are always talking about that “room” celebrities go into whenever there is a party. The Room contains all kinds of debauchery: Sex with other men, boys, women, girls or animals. Today’s music ain’t about Love and Happiness. Those days are long gone. Today’s music is about perversion and all types of debauchery. So, actually, NOBODY is off the hook.
