Don't think so.

Where you read it might have mistaken "films" for "celebrities", as a gang of other rich, black folk gave up some loot to get Malcom X done.

Bill Cosby
Oprah Winfrey
Magic Johnson

I'm sure there are others but can't remember right now. And if all else fails,

Michael Jordan gave as well ... at the end of the film a lot of celebs are featured where the 'X' hat. I wish P would have do it...but there was a 'THANK YOU' to P in the credits.

What a great film....

I rented this @ the library and the copy was all scratched up, and I only got to see like 20 minutes of it neutral
