Zendaya Coleman, who was set to play Aaliyah in the upcoming biopic about the singer, has reportedly resigned from her role in the Lifetime movie, which has reportedly stalled production as a result.
Coleman’s resignation follows comments made by Aaliyah’s family members who were against the Lifetime movie. The actress’s rep says Coleman is no longer involved with the project and sources tell TMZ that she resigned due to several factors, including the negative response from Aaliyah’s family members.
Jomo Hankerson, the cousin and head of Aaliyah’s former record label, Blackground Records, recently addressed the potential TV movie.
“We feel like [television’s] really not the right platform,” he said. “Aaliyah was a legend. She was a hugely influential artist on our culture… I think that she deserves the treatment of a ‘Walk The Line’ or a ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’ A big, major movie.”

UPDATE: The trailer for Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B has been released.

Baby girl had too much pressure on her. Go and check out thegrandreport(dot)com, they have some good videos on there too!
Why cant you do both? You can make what ever you want on your dime. Why hate on someone elses piece?
That girl looks like a tiger or some sort of cat creature, and her head is too small. The actor they choose should at least resemble Aaliyah a little bit, even if it’s just a made for TV movie. I’m not impressed
bahahahaha
Hopefully they use an actress tho not an actor
Are people really checking for this movie? I mean, REALLY???
Hell yeah. Shorty look JUST like queen aaliyah; she was made for that part. I’d definitely hit that…in a few months, that is.
nah B I think she look more like Cassie they should use Lollita Price for the role
Aaliyah’s family probably didn’t like it because the movie made Aaliyah look like a freak. She was, Aaliyah was a closet ho like Brandy and slept with tons of men when she was a teenager and after.
Yeah, she let perverted black men pee on her.
