Tyler Perry calls out ‘highbrow negroes’ for criticizing his film “Divorce in The Black”.
Tyler Perry has been no stranger to receiving criticism. His most recent eye-catching response to his detractors came from an interview with actress-singer KeKe Palmer’s podcast, “Baby, This Is KeKe Palmer.” which has left many tongues wagging.
He spoke about how he is unfazed by critics he labels “highbrow Negroes.” who didn’t like his most recent film, “Divorce in the Black,”. The criticism about the film has been widely shared on social media. In the interview, Perry underlined the significance of staying true to oneself.
“A large portion of my fans are disenfranchised, who cannot get in the Volvo and go to therapy on the weekend.
So, you’ve got this highbrow negro who is all up in the air with his nose up looking at everything, then you got people like where I come from, and me, who are grinders, who really know what it’s like. Whose mothers were caregivers for white kids, and were maids, housekeepers…beauticians. Don’t discount these people and say their stories don’t matter. Who are you to be able to say which Black story is important, or should be told? Get out of here with that bullsh*t.”
