Congratulations Tyler Perry for this accomplishment. There is so much controversy about how you became a billionaire and if it is detrimental to African American people. I say that you are a hard working man who used his God given talents to entertain, teach and yes even inspire!

Please don't go overboard with this boy on boy stuff. Not knocking it, but it still rubs some of us the wrong way. but you are creating for everyone. So be sensitive with the details..not judging..please... Or have story just on that and people can tune in with like minds.

Better alert the Bernie bros so they can put a stop to this injustice.

Congrats to tylerperry on becoming a billionaire! He has put in the work.
