Aaliyah biopic comments
Williams’ discusses the Lifetime Aaliyah biopic and why the family needs to let it happen.
In my opinion, TV trumps motion picture. As a woman who loves to lay in the house and watch a motion picture, I feel that the family might be a little misguided in the power of box office versus TV. Lifetime will play the movie over and over. TV is the way to get your story told.

Timbaland gives his opinion on Lifetime’s Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B biopic:
This is why people should never remake movies, bullshit happens. Now you have to deal with the consequences.
