[Exclusive] Aaliyah Biopic Replacement Is Erika Perry: Aaliyah Look-A-Like Takes Over Zendaya Coleman's Spot, See PHOTOS And Hear Actress Sing

Days after Disney star, Zendaya Coleman confirmed that she would give up her role for Aaliyah Houghton in the Lifetime biopic: Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B (working title), singer Erika Perry -who strikingly resembles the "One In A Million" singer- has allegedly won the role.

Sunday, the network's PR team tweeted, "We are sad Zendaya will no longer portray Aaliyah. Production is currently on hold."

MStars News received an exclusive email:

"Lifetime may have already found a replacement for their upcoming Aaliyah film in a relatively unknown new talent. Erika Perry, a 20-year-old Atlanta-native performed with her sisters as part of the group Amor Kismet at the BET Experience on Saturday. Although Zendaya's departure wasn't announced yet, Lifetime execs were already in the know and scoped out Perry's performance. So impressed with her talent and likeness to Aaliyah, they immediately set up additional meetings for Perry that weekend in Los Angeles. Things are expected to move even faster this week to keep production on schedule."
