Mattel released an Aaliyah Barbie on what would've been the artist's 46th birthday

Find out what happened next!

She’s still inspiring and influencing fans and artists alike. January 16th would’ve been Aaliyah’s 46th birthday and Mattel showed ‘Baby Girl’ some love by releasing a limited-edition Aaliyah Barbie doll. It’s an exclusive doll, a part of Mattel’s ‘Music Series.’ Almost as soon as the doll was released, it sold out!

I hope Mattel will release more of those. It’s a valuable collector’s item paying tribute to an R&B icon who tragically died in a plane crash back in 2001 but is still oved and cherished.

Thankfully, Aaliyah’s music lives on...the Princess of R&B!
