Did haters force Zendaya to drop out of the Aaliyah movie?

When news broke that Zendaya had suddenly pulled out of starring in the Lifetime movie Aaliyah: Princess of R&B, many speculated that Z made her choice based on fans' criticism that she wasn't the right fit to play the late singer. But Zendaya's dad Kazembe Ajamu is stepping in to let the world know the truth! "Zendaya did not drop out of the movie because of haters and people who said she wasn't black enough... in fact they only fueled her fire to kill this role," he said on twitter. Zendaya herself added, "I feel it was being rushed and production just wasn't there. I love Aaliyah and can't wait to portray her another time when the time is right." We can't wait to see it, Z!
