Timbaland, Missy Elliot, VH1 Blasts Lifetime Aaliyah Biopic

[KingsOfKings]

Lifetime’s highly anticipated Aaliyah: Princess of R&B premiered last night, and according to our entire social media feed the movie was NOT what it should have been.

From the story to the casting, Twitter & Facebook lit up with negative reactions from casual fans, celebrities, and even other television networks!

Because of the questionable casting decisions, viewers started making memes blasting Lifetime and Wendy Williams for their poor choices.

Timbaland rounded up several and has been posting them to his Instagram account. Take a look:

If that wasn’t subtle enough, Timbaland also posted a few videos sharing his thoughts:

When Timbaland asked Missy Elliott if she was watching the movie, Missy kept her reaction a little more positive.

Zendaya, who was originally supposed to play Aaliyah in the film before backing out, threw a little shade during the broadcast.

Even rival network VH1 got in on the slander.

As you may know, Wendy Williams is co-executive producer on the film and her mentions have been in complete shambles for the last 18 hours. She’ll definitely have to address this during her ‘Hot Topics’ segment on Monday.

Did you watch the movie? Was it as bad as everyone is saying it is?

@ the way they casted missy.

but really tho, did anybody expect a good movie anyway? theres nothing movie-worthy about aalyiah's story aside from her sexcapades. they need to just be happy that she got a flick.

Terrible logic...they need to "just be happy"?..if u not gonna do something atleast close to right than dont do it at all..she was a successful singer who alotta girls looked up to and she died a very tragic and painful death at a young age...its not like she just came and left after a year or some shyt so to say the only thing movie worthy about her is her sexcapades is disrespectful as fukk fam..I know u dont fukk wit her like that but still..they did a Selena movie and did it well so theres nothing wrong with doing an Aaliyah movie well...
