The 42-year-old and longtime friend of Aaliyah also posted several memes mocking the film’s choice of casting, but perhaps his most powerful message was a photo of Aaliyah with a quote about her legacy:

Despite backlash from social media and the singer’s own family, executive producer Debra Martin Chase recently defended “Aaliyah: Princess Of R&B” in a press conference:
