The Lifetime network
recently announced an unauthorized biopic on the life of the late
singer, Aaliyah, who died at age 22 in a tragic plane crash.
17-year-old Zendaya Coleman was chosen to play Aaliyah, a move that
was met with great opposition by the singer's fans.

This week Coleman
announced she has left the Lifetime biopic, "I felt like
something with the production wasn't all the way there, the project
wasn't all the way there. If I'm going to do something for someone I
care about so much, I have to do it the right way. I just felt that
because I love her, and because I respected her so much as an
artist, I don't want to do anything that's half or anything that's
less for her. By all means, when the
right project comes along, and it's done the right way, I'll be the
first person ready to play Aaliyah. But, this wasn't the right one
for me."
