Jomo Hankerson sues Barry Hankerson over Aaliyah music rights

A legal fight inside Aaliyah's family is getting messy, with Jomo Hankerson taking his father Barry Hankerson to court over money from music rights tied to Aaliyah, DMX, Timbaland, and Toni Braxton. Jomo's asking for over $1.2 million, saying he's owed a cut of the earnings. Barry fired back, claiming Jomo was the one who arranged Aaliyah's travel for that 2001 Bahamas video shoot, and he thinks the fatal plane crash might not have happened if those tasks were handled differently. Both are denying any wrongdoing while the case keeps moving forward.
