Zendaya Pulls Out of Playing Aaliyah



Just days after Zendaya came out to defend herself against criticism that she is “not black enough” to play Aaliyah, it has been revealed that the 17-year-old Disney star has dropped out of the production.

It has been revealed to E! News that she dropped out because of production issues, which also includes problems obtaining the rights to Aaliyah’s music.

“Aaliyah has always been an 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.” said a source.
