This really isn’t my thing, but I thought some of you may find this amusing.

    alright I'm sorry but P Diddy killed Aaliyah and Lisa Left Eye Lopes for Beyonce? Beyonce didn't meet Jay-Z until 2000, she was barely out of Destiny's Child and it'd be three years until her first solo album. Aaliyah died in 2001, you're telling me P Diddy killed Aaliyah who was beloved and a massive star for 18-year-old Beyonce who was also a star but hadn't yet proved herself as a solo artist? If P Diddy killed Aaliyah much more likely he did it for R Kelly or something.

    Also Left Eye is my favorite but there's no way her solo career was taking off in any way to challenge Beyonce, she was just a little too weird for the mainstream in the early 2000s. Even by the end of TLC they had pretty severely reduced her contributions. Her one album was canceled in the US for poor sales overseas, I don't see how that threatened Beyonce who still had not released an album yet.

    People just writing fanfic about their favorite celebrities at this point.
