Keshia Chante is Aaliyah

According to reports, Canadian R&B singer has signed on to play Aaliyah in an upcoming movie based on the late singer’s life. The movie will begin shooting in August and will likely come out next year.

This is a great choice because I always thought Keshia Chante looked a little like Aaliyah, hopefully she can be able to channel some of the same sexy hood swag Aaliyah had. [Full disclosure: YoRapper had a serious crush on Aaliyah bitd.]

More details to follow.
