Barry Hankerson’s new claim ties son to travel misstep in Aaliyah rights feud

Aaliyah’s uncle Barry Hankerson alleges his son, Jomo Hankerson, was responsible for coordinating the late singer’s Bahamas-to-Florida travel, and that the private jet crash might have been avoided if Jomo had fulfilled his duties. The accusation surfaces in a bitter lawsuit: Jomo has sued Barry over recording masters and publishing rights for Aaliyah, DMX, Timberland, and Toni Braxton, claiming he’s owed 12% of funds; Barry denies the settlement and accuses Jomo of fraud while Jomo denies Barry’s claims. The 2001 crash that killed Aaliyah provides the backdrop for this ongoing music-assets dispute.
