Aaliyah’s Uncle Barry Hankerson Blames Son for Plane Crash That Killed Singer in New Legal Battle
Barry Hankerson says his son was paid to coordinate Aaliyah’s travel and failed to do so, as both sides trade fraud claims over music rights.
- Jomo Hankerson is suing his father, Barry Hankerson, and Blackground Records, seeking over $1.2 million in damages related to disputed music assets involving Aaliyah, Toni Braxton, DMX, and Timbaland.
- Under their agreement, Jomo claims he is entitled to 12% of earnings from those music assets, alleging Barry used Blackground Records to hide money and "manufacture expenses."
- Barry alleges Jomo "failed in his responsibility" to coordinate travel for Aaliyah's "Rock the Boat" music video shoot in the Bahamas in August 2001, claiming the tragedy "may have been avoided."
- Investigators found the aircraft was overloaded and pilot Luis Morales III had falsified FAA credentials, while Jomo has denied all misconduct accusations related to the fatal flight.
- The legal battle has revealed a deep rift between family members, as Barry stated that Aaliyah's death in the Abaco Islands forever affected his relationship with his son.
