Tyler Perry: "Spike Lee Can Go To Hell"



Tyler Perry: ''Spike Lee Can Go To Hell''
Tyler Perry finally had enough of Spike Lee taking potshots at him. The directors have never seen eye-to-eye, and Lee has gone so far as to call Perry's work 'coonery.' Tyler finally fired back in a round of media interviews for Madea's Big Happy Family.
“I’m so sick of hearing about damn Spike Lee. Spike can go straight to hell! I am sick of him talking about me. I am sick of him saying, ‘This is a coon, this is a buffoon.’ I am sick of him talking about black people going to see movies. This is what he said: ‘You vote by what you see’ — as if black people don’t know what they want to see."
“I am sick of him. He talked about Whoopi, he talked about Oprah, he talked about me, he talked about Clint Eastwood. Spike needs to shut the hell up!” Tyler added. “I don’t even understand it. There [are] so many people who walk around, and this is where the whole Spike Lee [issue] comes from — the negativity, ‘This is Stepin Fetchit,’ ‘This is coonery,’ ‘This is buffoonery’ — and they try to get people to get on this bandwagon with them, to get this mob mentality to come against what I’m doing.”
