Lifetime released a sixteen-second teaser-trailer for their latest biopic, Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B. With much controversy surrounding the made-for-TV movie (Disney Channel actress Zendaya dropped out of playing the lead role for mixed reasons, one of them being that Aaliyah’s family did not approve of the film), the clip captures a glimpse of actress Alexandra Shipp (Zendaya’s replacement) as the late R&B singer—who tragically died in an airplane crash at the age of twenty-two.
The highly anticipated tv-movie, Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B, will air Saturday, November 15th on Lifetime.
