Getty Images/TikTok Tomi Adeyemi is not planning on promoting the film adaptation of her best-selling, fan favorite novel, “Children of Blood and Bone.” It also appears there may be some issue between her and the movie’s star, Amandla Stenberg , who portrays Princess Amari in the 2027 film. Tomi Adeyemi posted a DM she sent, explaining why she would not post about the film version of “Children of Blood and Bone” Tomi , who co-wrote the movie with director Gina Prince-Bythewood , posted a message she sent that read, “There is a reason I will not post anything about the adaptation of my work. That’s all.” In a follow up message, she wrote, “And lastly since someone asked – I have not seen the film, and I will not watch it. It’s been painful holding this back from you all. … And I’m sorry if any of you thought I didn’t care about US. More than any glitter.” She then included a screen grab of a message, allegedly between her and Amandla Stenberg The message reads, “Do not ever use my name in an interview or video again. Do not text me. Do not call me.” It appears this message was sent in February 2025, and the screen grab shows that the person is blocked from contacting her. This is around the same time that Amandla responded to accusations that she was “stealing roles from dark-skinned women.” She posted a TikTok last year that said, “I had the opportunity to meet Tomi, the novelist, for the first time. Then, she goes, ‘Amandla, I want you to know that when you were a little girl and were cast as Rue in The Hunger Games , and you had these racist remarks thrown at you because people said that Rue’s death wouldn’t be as sad because you’re a Black girl… that inspired me to write this series, so that Black girls like you and Black girls of all shades could have a story written about them.’ We just started crying, and I said to myself, ‘God wants me here!’” @tomi.adeyemi ?? for everyone’s who’s been asking – i’m answering this question once and for all. #childrenofbloodandbone #tomiadeyemi #booktok #blackbooktok ? original sound – shaalo_ The film will be released in January 2027, and features a star-studded cast Thuso Mbedu, Tosin Cole, Damson Idris, Cynthia Erivo, Lashana Lynch, Idris Elba, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Regina King, Viola Davis, and more star.
