Aaliyah<\/strong><\/a>‘s uncle claims his son is partly to blame for the late singer’s death … lobbing the bombshell allegation as the two fight over money in court.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

TMZ obtained a lawsuit filed by Jomo Hankerson<\/strong><\/a> against Barry Hankerson<\/strong><\/a> and his record label Blackground Records. Barry is Aaliyah’s uncle and longtime manager. Jomo is Barry’s son and Aaliyah’s cousin.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

In the docs, Barry claims Aaliyah’s cousin was paid to coordinate travel for her music video shoot in the Bahamas … referring to the fateful August 2001 trip where she died in a plane crash.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Aaliyah’s uncle says his son “failed in his responsibility” to handle travel plans … and she instead took a private jet that crashed and killed everyone onboard.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

Barry says the fatal crash “may have been avoided had [Jomo] followed through on his compensated task of travel coordination.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Aaliyah’s uncle said his relationship with his son was never the same after Aaliyah’s death.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Blame game aside, the rest of the family war is pretty interesting too.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Jomo claims his dad breached a settlement over music rights \u2026 specifically, recording masters and music publishing copyrights for Aaliyah, Toni Braxton<\/strong><\/a>, DMX<\/strong><\/a>, and Timbaland<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Jomo says he is owed 12% of the money Barry made from the music assets per a settlement deal … but claims his dad used the record label to hide money and “manufacture expenses that have nothing to do with the music assets, all for the purpose of pressuring [him] into accepting less than what he is owed.” Jomo is seeking over $1.2 million in damages.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Barry denied all allegations of wrongdoing in the suit, claiming the settlement in question is not valid because it was executed under fraud.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Barry also claimed his son once threatened to release unreleased Aaliyah music if his financial demands were not met.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Jomo has also denied all claims of wrongdoing. The case is ongoing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
