From Disney stars joining and dropping out to production issues with Aaliyah's family, Lifetime's Aaliyah biopic, Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B is causing one controversy after another. The newest outrage is surrounding the release of the first trailer; the late R&B star's fans were horrified to see that Iggy Azalea's "Goddess" was the soundtrack to the clip. While Aaliyah's family has blocked the movie from using any official Aaliyah music, perhaps using songs by an artist often accused of cultural appropriation instead wasn't the most well thought out solution. Watch the contentious trailer above.
