Earlier this week it was announced that 17-year-old Zendaya Coleman was selected for the title role of Lifetime's biopic of Aaliyah; however, it was discovered yesterday through social media that Teyana Taylor auditioned for the lead role as well.
Taylor's close friend, @tyronebee, leaked clips of the Harlem singer auditioning for the role on his Instagram account. The three videos posted on his account show Taylor dancing, singing, and reciting a screenplay.
In the first clip posted, Tyrone revealed that the G.O.O.D. Music singer pulled out of the running for the leading role when she found out Aaliyah's family was no longer a part of the biopic.
"I know teyana is gona be mad at me for posting her audition clips but i honestly feel no one deserves this role more then her . She embraces Aaliyah dancing , acting and singing. (Which I'll be posting all 3parts) but unfortunately @teyanataylor heard that Aaliyah's family isn't involved & she no longer wanted to be apart of the film. Here's part 1 The dancing."
Do you think Taylor would've been a good fit for the role of Aaliyah? Let us know with your comments.
