According to our sources, despite the fact that multitalented entertainer Tyler Perry is a verified billionaire who owns a studio and has made blockbuster successes, some actors are still reluctant to collaborate with Perry.

While discussing his latest film, A Jazzman’s Blues, a coming-of-age drama inspired by one of his favorite playwrights, August Wilson, Perry opened up in an interview with “PEOPLE Every Day” podcast presenter Janine Rubenstein.

Perry has stated, “I’m beyond excited about it,” in reference to the Netflix release date of September 23.

“It’s something very, very different for me. And, so far, the reception of it has been incredible.”

The 52-year-old director, producer, and writer first tried his hand at the screenplay in 1995, when he was down to his last few dollars and scrambling to mount the launch of his first stage play.

The 52-year-old director, producer, and writer first tried his hand at the screenplay in 1995, when he was down to his last few dollars and scrambling to mount the launch of his first stage play. the inspiration for Blues came when he snuck into an Atlanta performance of one of Wilson’s plays and ended up meeting the famous playwright.

Many promising young actors were hesitant to join the cast of his most recent films, though.

“Unfortunately, with this film, I went to a bunch of up-and-coming young artists who were getting a lot of attention, and I asked them about doing the role. They read the script, they loved the script, but I think there was a reservation or hesitation about working with me in particular on this film because I guess they didn’t know how it would turn out.”

Perry shrugs off the negative feedback, saying, “Too bad, very sad for them.” He also hints that the final product is better than he had imagined.

“A lot of times, these teams don’t necessarily understand the power of my audience and what I bring. The people who are in [A Jazzman’s Blues] made it exactly what it was supposed to be,” he says.

It’s better than I expected, but I’ve always placed a premium on making new fans. And it’s because of that that I’ve been able to assist so many individuals.

Perry has been accused by critics and his peers in the industry of perpetuating negative stereotypes of the Black community.

According to Mediaite, Spike Lee has openly criticized Perry’s melodramatic comedies as “coonery” and “buffoonery.”

Perry is unfazed by negative feedback because he knows his works resonate with their target demographic.

His $154 million in earnings from 2016 demonstrate his success, and he takes great pride in being able to help so many others.

He says, “I WAS REALLY MOVED BY THAT NUMBER,” HE SAYS, “AND UNDERSTANDING WITH THE STRENGTH OF MY AUDIENCE IN ALL OF THESE YEARS OF INVESTING, I AM ABLE TO WRITE THOSE CHECKS TO THAT MANY PEOPLE, MANY OF THEM, WOMEN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR. IT’S MOVING TO ME. IT MOTIVATES ME AND IT KEEPS ME GROUNDED AND KEEPS ME GOING, BECAUSE I REALIZE HOW MANY DREAMS HAVE BEEN TIED UP INTO MINE.”

ISTHATPORKS TAKE:

Like, Spike Lee, we thought Tyler Perry's movies were based on stereotypical views of black people. Then, we wised up and realized the brilliance of the man. Tyler has depth and range that can only be respected. Like Ice Cube, he's self-made, never asked for Hollywood's help, and did it all his way. He has his own studios and built a brand from the ground up. It's not just the American dream. It's Tyler Perry's dream and he's living it. NO PORK IN THAT! maybe other celebrities will wise up as we did and get on board in his movies. We don't see how they can lose.

Diddy’s Joker costume from the 1989 film provided plenty of laughs on Halloween night. On the other hand, he may have been too immersed in his role when he had a weekend altercation with “Power” actor Michael J. Ferguson.

On camera, Ferguson refers to Diddy as “p—-,” prompting the rapper to laugh like the Joker and label Ferguson “clown.”

“What’s up, baby? You don’t like me,” Diddy asked Ferguson. “Then motherf—— get to it, n—-. If you don’t like me, you motherf—— fronting. Get to it b—-. Don’t f—— play with me on Halloween. I’m out here with love, n—-.”

At this moment, Ferguson still seems to be unaware that the man behind the mask is actually Diddy, as he keeps attacking the performer.

“You f—— p—-, make sure you won’t never talk to me that like,” Diddy said. “We’re having a good time. Why do you want to come at me like that? You got a problem? You really taking over my energy right now. What did I do to you? Do you know who I am?”

Diddy then tells him who he is, and it deescalates.

Janet has yet to respond, though. But others have.

Jill, sent out another message for Janet.

Kanye West to Buy Conservative Social Platform Parler After Twitter, Instagram Ban

The controversial conservative social networking site Parler has announced that it will be acquired by Kanye West.

Parler’s parent company, Parlement Technologies, released a statement on Monday stating that they are “pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement in principle for Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, to acquire the Parler platform.”

Further, “the acquisition guarantees Parler a future role in developing an uncancelable ecosystem where all opinions are welcome,” the company said.

President and CEO of Parler George Farmer remarked, “Ye’s acquiring of Parler will strengthen our ability to create an uncancelable ecosystem. No one should have to self-censor out of uncertainty about which legal speech will get him or her banned. No individual or business should worry about being completely deplatformed, as Parler was, merely for the expression of opposing viewpoints. 

We intend for Parler to always be a safe space for open discussion and open minds. We shall keep up our resistance to tyranny, censorship, and cancel culture.

The 45-year-old artist and entrepreneur Kanye West bought Parlor after having his Twitter account suspended earlier this month for a regulation violation.

The Hollywood Reporter claims that in a now-deleted tweet, West threatened to unleash “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.”

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” he wrote, per the outlet. “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”

Twitter took this action after the Grammy winner had his account blocked by Instagram and had content deleted from his profile for breaking Instagram’s terms of service, as reported by NBC News and CNN.

Even though many people were offended by a post published by West that has since been deleted, a Meta spokeswoman would not clarify to any outlet what content was in violation.

The “Stronger” singer posted a screenshot of a conversation he had with Sean “Diddy” Combs, in which it appeared that West had said Combs, 52, was under Jewish influence. He captioned the photo, “Jesus is Jew,” as reported by NBC News.
