Yes Aaliyah did know Jay-Z. Her, Jay-Z, Damon Dash and a few more of their close friends were in a clique called "The Breakfast Club." They would dine out together, party together and go to other events together. That's how Aaliyah met up with Damon Dash. Damon Dash was affiliated with Roc-A-Fella Records, Jay-Z's label. When Aaliyah started dating Damon she became the first official female to the Roc, without being under his label. She was like extended family, basically. She even sported the Roc-A-Fella chain, and was the first one to ever do so (Yes, BEFORE Beyonce). Her and Jay-Z were friends up until her death in 2001. They became friends somewhere around 97 - 98.
