She was destined for greatness, and her legacy continues on with the fans. Some Aaliyah fans started a petition to get a MAC cosmetic line in honor of the late singer, and it has done so well that Aaliyah’s brother Rashad has been contacted by the cosmetic line. Rashad tweeted,

“I see your passion for #AaliyahForMac, so I have my great license team looking into it now. So tweet more, make it trend. #makeithappen… Word from MAC is 2017 is the earliest a line could be considered. Thanks for all your passion and support.
