Left Eye's family upset after TLC leave rapper out of song re-release
Published: 2013 June 25 13:00:58 (3837 Views)
The family of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes is reportedly upset with the remaining members of TLC, after the girl group decided to re-release a 20th anniversary version of their hit song "Waterfalls" that doesn't include the rapper reciting her famous verse.
Instead, Tione "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chili" Thomas replaced Lopes, who died in 2002, with Japanese pop star Namie Amuro for the updated version, labeled as the Japanese edition on a YouTube video.
It may have been because TLC has kicked off a tour in Japan this month as they attempt to reinvent themselves as a duo, but Lopes' sister Reigndrop Lopes said the move was shocking.
"I did not know about it until a fan posted it online," she told TMZ.
"I mean it would have been nice if they would have given us a heads up before being surprised."
Reigndrop Lopes also said her mother was "hurt" by the decision, suggesting the group isn't honouring her daughter's memory.
"Waterfall" remains one of the group's most popular songs.
Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes died in a car crash while working on a documentary project in Honduras in 2002.
