Perry was attending an Usher concert in Atlanta when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DBZFRfbAcIq\/\">videos<\/a> show a stripper twerking in front of the \u201cMadea\u201d actor and producer. Perry can be seen tossing \u201cUsher Bucks\u201d (fake money given at the event) to the stripper before whispering in her ear. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbls.com\/news\/tyler-perry-makes-it-rain-on-atlanta-stripper\/\">BLS<\/a> reports that the woman apparently did not recognize Perry until he identified himself and walked away, saying \u201cI\u2019m out,\u201d before Usher stopped him to offer more Bucks.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an off-brand public appearance for Perry, who usually presents himself as a strong, tongues-speaking Christian man. Many of his films focus on the downsides of drug and alcohol-filled lifestyles and his popular character Madea has criticized characters for their immodest clothing. Perry\u2019s new Netflix show \u201cBeauty in Black,\u201d features an exotic dancer whose life is turned upside down when it intersects with a successful black family. Commentors on the video <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantablackstar.com\/2024\/10\/22\/tyler-perry-makes-it-rain-on-an-magic-city-stripper-at-usher-show\/\">shared their surprise<\/a>. \u201cMadea what are you doing here?\u201d said one user. Another theorized that Perry was speaking to the stripper as Madea, saying \u201cTake this and buy some clothes baby \u2026. go cover yourself up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Internet preacher Marcus Rogers was far less amused, posting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gF9SlUn_XB8\">video<\/a> on his channel to condemn the activity. \u201cThis behavior isn&#8217;t biblical, and this behavior reminds me of what the Bible warns about. If you ever want to know why I do what I do, the Bible says the watchmen, when you see something and you standing on that wall and you don&#8217;t say something, the blood is going to be on your hands. The Bible says to cry loud and spare not,\u201d he said. He also added, \u201cWe make excuses in the black community all the time because we idolize culture. We put culture over Kingdom. If someone is black and successful and they say that they&#8217;re Christian, you know we can&#8217;t speak bad about anything that&#8217;s going on, but this is what&#8217;s going on.\u201d He was also critical of Gospel singer Kirk Franklin, who also performed at the concert. \u201cKirk, I feel like this is what Kirk Franklin really wants to do and wants to be, and that&#8217;s why he&#8217;s with all the dancing. [The] Bible says don&#8217;t love the world. Come out from among the world and be separate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Perry is currently set to work on a retelling of the story of Ruth and Boaz, called \u201cR&amp;B.\u201d The character of Ruth will be a young woman leaving a career in music to care for an elderly widow, most likely representative of Naomi, Ruth\u2019s mother-in-law in the Biblical story. To date, Perry has not commented on his appearance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyler Perry fans were shocked to see the popular inspirational film and show producer \u201cmaking it rain\u201d throwing cash to a stripper.
