N.W.A’s former manager, Jerry Heller, spoke with the Los Angeles Times on his thoughts about the F. Gary Gray-directed biopic.
“Well, my only comment so far is that I think it’s inappropriate for me to comment on a movie that I haven’t seen,” Heller said. “I did see it on Saturday, and I’m still not willing to comment right now on that movie because I think sooner or later it may be part of an ongoing litigation.”
Heller, who was portrayed by world-renowned actor Paul Giamatti, became known for the long-lasting scandal that involved him stealing money from the historic rap group. In an interview with TMZ earlier this month, Heller, 74, provided his opinion on the critically-acclaimed movie, stating, “Until I see the film, I’m not going to comment on it. I’ll be there Thursday night in the first row with at least two of my lawyers, and we’ll see if I like it or not.”

Despite mixed reactions to the reel, Straight Outta Compton went on to make upwards of $56.1 million at the box office, and remained the number one movie for two weeks straight.
