AceShowbiz - Twista's daughter Aaliyah Mitchell revealed shocking stories about her most recent encounter, or lack thereof, with her superstar father. She opened up to her followers on social media as she answered a question from a random fan.
Aaliyah, who had launched her own music career, claimed she was booked to open for Twista this year. She seemed to be hopeful as the manager told her the gig could be her opportunity to reconnect with her estranged father.
But things didn't end well. According to Aaliyah, Twista refused to talk to her and then the manager sexually assaulted her. She was told he could make her an opening act for Miguel and some other stars if she's willing to have sex with him.
"I told this man no!" she said. "At this point I didn't want anything to do with Twista."
Aaliyah did reveal Twista's snub on TikTok previously, but she never mentioned the manager's sexual assault. She channeled her disappointment as she wrote, "When your first time seeing your dad is in concert but he tells security he don't want to talk to you."
Aaliyah began her music career as Twista started to ignore her after they "talked for a while" when she was 18 and living in Las Vegas. She, however, insisted her aspirations had nothing to do with her father. "I said, 'F**k it!' I just continued to live my life. Was not thinking about him," she recalled.
"I really don't care as much as I used to," the 21-year-old said of her father's brush-off.
It's not the first time Twista snubbed Aaliyah in a concert if his ex-wife's previous claims were to be trusted.
Back in 2004, Rashida recounted a story when little Aaliyah "begged him to go to the concert because she wanted to meet Beyonce and Lil' Bow Wow."
"She had never seen her father on stage," Rashida claimed. "I scraped up the money to buy the tickets because I didn't want her to be disappointed, and I got one of my friends to take her backstage. Twista wouldn't even take her to the dressing room."
"Twista doesn't participate in her life at all," she continued. "She goes to school and tells her friends that Twista is her dad, and they don't believe her. All of her friends see him in videos, and they think she is lying. Kids can be cruel."
According to Rashida, she didn't even have enough money to buy Aaliyah new clothes when the girl started her school because Twista failed to pay his child support, which was $460 a month.
Soon after her stories were made public, Twista filed a gag order to restrain Rashida from talking to the press about her divorce with the rapper.
