Is Sydney dream hampton?

After the film was released we started to hear rumblings that the movie was based on Hip Hop journalist dream hampton. And perhaps it was Sanaa herself that started the talk. In her interview with

BlackFilm.com, she explained how she was able to approach the role comfortably.

In his book Decoded, Jay-Z confirmed it saying out right that it was based on her.
