Aug. 25 2018, Published 7:24 p.m. ET
Missy Elliott was one of many people who hit up social media on Saturday to share their thoughts on the 17th anniversary of Aaliyah's passing.
Missy and Aaliyah worked together on numerous hits, including "One in a Million" and "Are You Feeling Me?"
"One in a Million" became one of Aaliyah's biggest songs of her career, hitting number one on the R&B charts and breaking the top 20 overseas.
So it would make perfect sense for Missy to pen a touching tribute to the late singer, who passed away on August 25th, 2001 after a plane she was on crashed in the Bahamas. She was there to film the song "Rock the Boat" off her self-titled third and final studio album.
