Zendaya Not Playing Aaliyah In Lifetime Movie

According to several reports, Zendaya will not portray Aaliyah in a new Lifetime film.  





On Sunday, Zendaya, 17, tweeted the message: "Aaliyah has always been a source of inspiration to Zendaya. She was honored to portray her and pay tribute to her…if she is going to do it, she wants to do it right."

Just two weeks ago, Lifetime revealed Zendaya would play Aaliyah, who was only 22 when she was killed in a plane accident in 2001.



There were clearly a lot of problems involving the tentatively movie "Aaliyah: Princess of R&B", which is based on the biography "Aaliyah: More Than a Woman".

Among the issues, the production was having a hard time getting rights to Aaliyah's music.
