In an interview with The Big Tigger Show, John Singleton blasted the new Tupac Shakur biopic, All Eyez On Me, which he was previously supposed to direct.
“That debacle…they just made a movie. They didn’t think of it as a cultural event…They didn’t think in terms of something that affected our generation. So that’s why I’m really upset,” Singleton said on radio.
“And then these cats get on the radio, they start disparaging my name and people start listening to them as if everything that I’ve done has not been official. You gon’ listen to them over me? And they ain’t never made no movies?”
Singleton further made his point by saying the new film is worse than the Aaliyah biopic on Lifetime, which was critically slammed by fans and loved ones.
“They made the Aaliyah version of ‘Pac, worse—worse than that.”
