    @Shango Although your post cracked me up (because of your obvious stupidity) and I try to respect people’s opinions. You sound like you are part of the “dumb ass group” here on BP. Maybe you should stop hating “Fagots” and hate the fact that you have no idea how to spell.

    My condolences go to Tyler.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/StormDLewis21/ StormDLewis21

    Tyler Perry, My heart goes out to you, your family, and friends. I thank God, for you. I know, God, will see you through this difficult time. You have honored your Mother and I’m sure She was truly proud of you. I will left your up in my prayers in Jesus, name. Amen!!!

    And as for the so called writter SHANGO24, you should be careful for what you wish for. Because God, clearly warns us not to practice witch craft. For when you wished an invocation of harm on someone it tends to back fire you instead. Note: wishing the worse for anyone is practicing witch craft. May God, Bless you indeed in Jesus, name. Amen

    Tyler P.
    How’s it going. Blessing to and yours. Sorry to hear about your mother. I will definitely keep you and the family in my prayers.
    I’m a big fan. Respect you. I see where you came from, where you are at and where you are heading. God has brought you through a lot, you have a mission. I know you are hurting, but you must remain focus and stand still. God will bring you through this, as he did for you throughout life.
    I will hate to see you give in to the destroyer. You can’t forget maedea. Let your mother live through her.

    GOD BLESS AND MUCH LOVE…..

    tyler perry and his ugly ass mother look like the offspring of an incest couple he is a disgusting looking half breed and i was so excited i thought this homosexual had died.

    alos why is it all of the people leaving comments

    are obese? looking like they eat s**tlins,hamhocks,pig feet,fried pork chops takem an hour almost to go to the bathroom which is 3 times a week.

    oh hell nah im almost late for work shanuqa come help lift me off the toliet ive been on it for an hour now maybe it will come out at work cuz i sho aint gonna miss work for being o the toliet.

    how sad

    stormy weather25 looks like a pig all she needs is some mud thrown on her and a barn for a place of dwelling and should fool even the best animal experts.

    ravenjustice you need to get some justice for the people at all those fastfood resteraunts you be going to who dont care enough about yo phat ass to tell you to stop eating.

    all of tyler perrys friends can go to there deaths early as well also most of them are obese lonley fat evil ugly women.
