Zendaya's Dad -- She'll Black It Up To Play Aaliyah
Zendaya She'll Black It Up To Play Aaliyah ... Says Her Dad
All the haters saying Zendaya isn't black enough to play Aaliyah can chill out -- her dad says she'll be baking in the sun to prepare for the role.
Zendaya and her father were at LAX talking about her role in the upcoming Lifetime movie -- and even addressed the criticism that she's too light skinned to portray the late singer.
The 17-year-old Disney star actually has a pretty smart take on the controversy. Her pops however took a much different approach, saying ..."They're shooting this in the summer. She'll get dark enough."
Pretty clear he's making a joke, but ... funny? Check out the clip.
