A Ruthless Life • Eazy-E & Aaliyah

Forever

-Aaliyah's POV-

My heart broke when Eric died. I just knew that he was going to live 6 more months like the doctors estimated, but I guess God was tired of him suffering. A week after we got married, he slipped into a coma and never woke up. I was in charge of who could visit him and who couldn't. I was by his side from the time he was admitted in February, til the time of his death. We may have had our ups and downs, but there is no denying that I love that man. 

This has got to be the worst pain I have ever felt. My husband DIED. Dominick only knew him for one year. My baby girl, who's expected to arrive in September, wont get a chance to meet her father at all. I am five months pregnant now.

Eric's funeral was on April 7, 1995. 
It was the hardest day of my life. After they buried him, that was the final goodbye. I'm never going to see him again. He was buried at Rose Hills Memorial Park. I am in charge of everything now because I'm his wife. I have the rights to his estate and his music.

Well, everyone including Tracy prefers to call me his widow or the black widow. Doesn't matter what you call me but there's one thing you can't say, he didn't marry me. Eric has plenty of baby mamas but he chose to marry me. Now everyone is bashing me because I married him on his death bed 12 days before he passed away. They are accusing me of forcing him to marry me just so I can get his money. People should really educate theirselves and learn the truth before judging me based off what they heard.

I did NOT force him to marry me, it was his idea to get married because he knew that he was dieing and he wanted me to take over Ruthless. I wasn't ready for marriage but I did it for him. He even asked me to watch after his kids and to split the money with them. So I gave all of his baby mamas $100,000 each.

There is so much bad blood between me and Tracy now. Her hatred towards me has gotten worse ever since I married Eric and the fact that I'm still using his last name after his death eats her up inside. Whenever I call myself Aaliyah Haughton-Wright she says no and that my name is just Aaliyah Haughton. She wants to be me then, and she wants to be me now. Me and her daughter Erin both share the same last name: Wright. I guess she feels like the black sheep because her last name is Jernagin.

After Eric passed, I found out that he has two more kids. Two girls named Sharan and Raven. They're both 90s babies, which means that Eric cheated on me. Towards the end of 1994 and early 1995, he was also cheating on me with a girl named Stephanie. She came to the hospital when Eric was admitted. My gut feeling was right. It hurts but what's the point of getting mad? Eric isn't here anymore.  

He wasn't able to finish his double album, so I'm just going to release what is finished. Oh and by the way, Yella completed the untitled song that Eric wanted on his album so bad and he named it Eternal E. I love it, good job Yella. It will be the last song on the album, track number 13. He was also the only member of N.W.A. that showed up at Eric's funeral. That really pissed me off. But out of all the members, I just knew that Ren would be there but he wasn't.

Since I'm his wife or widow or whatever you want to call me, everyone is depending on me to keep his legacy alive and that's exactly what I'm going to do. His album Str8 Off the Streets of Muthaphukkin Compton will be released in November this year. It's only going to contain thirteen songs though but I don't want all of his hardwork to go to waste. My favorite song on the album is Tha Muthaphukkin Real featuring Ren because that is the last song he recorded. Before he died, I promised him I wouldn't abort our baby and sell Ruthless. Those are two promises that I'm going to keep.

I hate that Eric's life was cut short because of that horrible disease. I pray that one day there is a cure for it. He was about to begin a new chapter in his life, he had so many hopes dreams and ideas. We may have only known each other for 4 years, but those are the best 4 years of my life. No matter what we went through, I will always love Eric Lynn Wright. Thank you for leaving me a piece of you Eric. I have already decided to name our child Daijah.

Everywhere I go, I hear Eazy-E and N.W.A. The mayor of  Compton has decided to make April 7 "Eazy-E" day in Compton. He had the most unique voice in hip-hop. That little guy with the high pitched voice changed the game. He was a visionary and a smart businessman. He may not be here with us physically but he's here in spirit. We love our beloved Eric Wright, but God loves him more.♡
