Tyler Perry's Transformation From An Abused Child To One Of The Highest-Paid Actors In The World

Posted: 18 Jan 2022 03:00 AM PST

Tyler Perry, the media mogul, has joined the list of Celebrity Billionaires, with a net worth of $1 billion. The highly decorated African American actor, producer, director, and writer has an estimated net worth that runs into seven digits, according to the business magazine. His Madea franchise alone netted him $660 million. As a result, he was named to Forbes' Billionaire List.

Tyler Perry has directed 30 films, 20 plays, and 8 television series during the course of his career. With this success, the actor was able to rise from poverty to become a multi-billionaire. According to Forbes, he owns a 330-acre property called Tyler Perry Studios, which is valued at $280 million and receives 25% of its revenue from BET+'s streaming services. He also owns TV programs and films worth $320 million.


Tyler Perry is a role model for people who aspire to be self-made billionaires. To be able to create his business, he has put in a lot of effort. He did not inherit his money because he grew up poor and worked hard for everything he has. All of his possessions are the consequence of his efforts.

Begin small.


Emmitt Perry Jr. was born to Emmitt Perry Sr. and Willie Maxine Perry in New Orleans, Louisiana, and has three siblings. His carpenter father had abused him since he was a child. He attempted suicide in his youth to escape the pain and torture he was experiencing. His mother, on the other hand, values and loves him, and takes him to church every week, where he feels at ease and secure.

Climbing Out of His Hole
To disassociate himself from his abusive father, he legally changed his name from Emmitt to Tyler when he was 16 years old. His mother swears that he is the son of Emmitt Perry Sr., but he has always suspected that the father he grew up with is not his true father. He ultimately underwent a DNA test with his brother shortly after his mother died in 2009, and the findings proved that they did not have the same father. Later, he did a test with Perry Sr., and it was determined that he is unrelated to him. He is still looking for his biological father to this day.


Perry went on to expose more of his childhood traumas. He said that three men molested him after gaining courage from the film Precious, and that he was molested again by the mother of his friend when he was ten years old; it was later revealed that his father had also molested his friend. He began writing to relieve his miseries and discovered that he had a talent for art. Writing stories became therapeutic for him, and he eventually decided to pursue a profession in this industry.

Perry dropped out of high school but obtained his GED and began doing odd jobs to supplement his income. He used to work at the Windsor Court Hotel, which hosts the annual meeting of the National Association of Television Program Executives. Using discarded badges from the guests, he gained admission to the event. He was able to meet Pat Sajak, the Wheel of Fortune host, during this occasion.


ifficult for him; he was homeless and lived in his car at the time. He began there and continued until he gained a large following, which led to the publication of his first film, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, in 2005. The film became a sensation, earning him more than $50 million.

Arriving at His Big Break


Fortunately for Perry, Oprah Winfrey was able to see one of the film's touring performances in Los Angeles, sparking a lovely friendship and subsequently a business alliance. The film affected Oprah, and she was determined to see Perry, so she invited him to appear on her show in 2011. Perry was able to maximize the profitability of his initiatives with the help of Winfrey, resulting in $100 million in ticket sales, $30 million in videotaped performances, and $20 million in merchandise sales. Soon after this triumph, he began launching enterprises left and right. He subsequently assumed control of all of his ventures, making him a billionaire.

Tinubu speaks – “We will achieve a resounding victory with the strong support of the people”

Posted: 17 Jan 2022 11:00 PM PST

Bola Tinubu, national Leader of the All Progressives Congress, claims that it is certain he would come out victorious in the 2023 election with the strong backing of the people

The former Lagos governor said on January 10 that he had notified President Muhammadu Buhari of his desire to contest for president.

While visiting the Ibadan home of Rashidi Ladoja, a former governor of Oyo, Tinubu claimed he received positive replies from key players about his wish to run for president.

Following the deaths of Jimoh Oyewumi, the Soun of Ogbomoso; Saliu Adetunji, the Olubadan of Ibadan; and Adebayo Alao-Akala, a former governor of Oyo, Tinubu traveled to Ibadan to convey his sympathies to the state's governor, Seyi Makinde.

Tinubu acknowledged the hurdles he will encounter in his campaign after his meeting with Ladoja, but expressed hope that he will win.

He said;

"Life is a challenge and you must be ready to confront challenges and overcome. I have the confidence that I will overcome any form of challenge. I am sure I would face challenges and I have the confidence that I will overcome them.

The reactions of critical stakeholders to my presidential ambition have been very positive, encouraging and overwhelming and these have spurred me on with the strong conviction that we would succeed and emerge victorious after the election.

Life itself is a challenge and I have the confidence and capacity to wade through challenges and overcome. We are forging ahead and with the strong support of the masses of Nigerians, we are going to achieve a resounding victory."

Femi Branch – If Bobrisky Made Such Statement About A Yoruba Oba, Would People Have Talked?

Posted: 17 Jan 2022 10:30 PM PST

Nollywood actor, Femi Branch, has taken to social media to react to last weekend's spat which controversial crossdresser, Bobrisky had with Edo state indigenes.

Recall that Bobrisky was in the state to attend an event and he took to Snapchat to express how happy he was to be there. In his excitement, he asked the Oba of Benin to come and marry him. This statement got Edo state indigenes angry and they came out in their numbers to condemn him for making such remarks about their revered monarch and also threatened to deal with him if he is seen at the event he came for.

With the several threats received, Bobrisky was visibly absent from the event he was to attend. He also tendered a public apology for his comment.

In an Instagram live session, Femi Branch said the indigenes of Edo state came out to condemn Bobrisky's comment because they revere their king. Wondering if the same reaction could occur if Bobrisky asked a Yoruba monarch to marry him, the actor said:

"A lot of people meet me and say, 'I don't really watch Nigerian movies but I watch your own movies'. With due apologies, that is one of the dumbest things people say. Is my own movie a Togolese one? That is one of the reasons I respect Benin culture.

Look at what happened recently. Bobrisky made a joke. But, there are some institutions you don't joke with.

Bobrisky could say he is a Yoruba guy (or babe); however 'she' wants to be addressed. He must have been seeing how some Yoruba Obas have been behaving in recent times. That must have made him feel he could make such a comment about the revered Oba of Benin. It was when he made that statement he realized the Oba of Benin isn't just any king.

Some people thought the reactions were a bit too much but Benin people don't joke with their culture. And that is because the Oba of Benin does not 'carry himself' anyhow.

Our culture and tradition are dying by the minute and people don't even seem to be concerned. There was an uproar by the indigenes of Benin because they don't joke with their king and their king also doesn't joke with their tradition. Do you think if Bobrisky had made such a statement about a Yoruba oba, people would have talked? Let us tell ourselves the truth. Is it normal to see our kings on Instagram frolicking with 'commoners'?"
