Over the weekend, Lifetime Network premiered its "highly anticipated" biopic Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B. Aaliyah gained mainstream success in the early 90's for her hit singles from her debut album "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number" such as "Back & Forth" and "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number." Her debut album executive produced by R. Kelly went double platinum, setting the young Detroit star up for success in the music industry. Unfortunately, her career was short-lived when she was involved in a fatal plane crash in 2001. For years, fans of Aaliyah asked for a movie highlighting the life and career of the late singer. Lifetime Network with the help of executive producer Wendy Williams delivered fans with what they've been asking for, but may have delivered one of the biggest disappointments.

The highly anticipated biopic of Aaliyah, has finally received a release date. The Lifetime movie, Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B is set to air later this year.
