We already know that there’s going to be a posthumous alubm for Aaliyah. The first since her tragic death back in 2001.
We now hear that people are looking at doing a movie.
Drake’s ex girlfriend, singer Keisha Chante was asked to do a photoshoot to remember the singer by. We must say she resembles Aaliyah very much so.
Keisha was due to play Aaliyah in the rumoured biopic, and Keisha recently explained what’s happening with the movie’s progress, in an interview with CYInterview
“from my understanding, there are people trying to create a movie and Aaliyah’s family are still mourning her loss and aren’t ready to share her story and create a film. So there’s a bit of back and forth thing with her family and with creative people. And I know that they would bless a movie being created, they’re just not 100 percent comfortable and unfortunately from my understanding they don’t have complete control of her estate. So a movie could technically be made without them green lighting it and I kind of think that’s unfortunate. So I want her family to be on board and to be happy with it. It’s still kind of lingering in the air. I don’t want to disrespect her family. I know that they’re, they don’t like it. They don’t like when they get calls from people, like, ‘Oh, I heard this about your daughter. I heard this.’ Because it’s painful for them. So I know that the lawyer and even them and even my team who have kind of like you know, it’s happy, it’s better for everyone to not really speak on it and I’m just feel like you know, I’m not supposed to speak on it, but I know in this situation, yeah, it’ kind of, it’s a long time coming and I know people really want to know what’s going on. So yeah, I definitely think this was the perfect time to tell you.”
We’re keeping our eye on this one, but it again seems like another uproar for the Haughton family who just seem to want to grieve the loss of someone special.
Take a look at the pictures of Keisha below:
We do feel sorry for Keisha as people have been ridiculing and insulting her for trying to resemble Aaliyah. We need to remember that this photoshoot was intended as an Aaliyah “inspired” shoot and not as a replacement as no one can ever replace Aaliyah.
We can see certain similarities between Keisha and Aaliyah. Keisha is beautiful in her own right, however she has a visible maturity in her face that Aaliyah didn’t get the chance to have. This is why Aaliyah was called “baby girl”. A grown woman in her own right, but just starting to be one when her life was cut short.
Maybe a younger woman could have pulled off a better look? Who knows. It’s a great picture all the same.
On a sidenote, it gives us slight headache when we see that Keisha is Drake’s ex girlfriend. The same Drake who caused uproar when the single “Enough Said” was released. The same Drake who is a HUGE HUGE fan of Aaliyah. Strange, true and rather confusing!!
