Entertainment: Tyler Perry is in Dog House with Contractors; Black Choir Signed to Record Deal
January 26th, 2009

Tyler Perry is in Dog House with Contractors A half-dozen contractors have filed liens against the home and new movie studio of actor-director Tyler Perry, alleging that he stiffed them for nearly $200,000 in unpaid bills. The construction firms say that Perry arbitrarily declined to pay them for their work, that he ordered work done on impulse. For example, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, he might decide “he wouldn’t like the stones purchased for an outdoor fountain … or deem newly planted trees too short. Said Brooks Hilton, a landscaping contractor who contends that Perry owes him $17,635, “He wanted to do it his way.” “He wouldn’t take any advice. I guess in Hollywood it works that way, but not in real life.” But Perry says that he refused to pay up because the workers did lousy work. “I pride myself on taking care of my business. I pride myself on being able to pay the bills, [but] I’m not sympathetic to anybody who’s trying to rip me off. Just because I’m a Christian, just because I’m a nice guy, it doesn’t mean I’m a wimp.”

Black Choir Signed to Record Deal The Black youth choir that performed at President Barack Obama’s inauguration last week has been signed by Universal Music. As they returned to Nairobi from D.C., officials of the label met the members of the Boys Choir of Kenya at London’s Heathrow Airport. Read the rest here.

Seems like people sit up all night long trying to find a reason to bring someone else down. Tyler i don’t know if this is true or not , Just pay them if you really owe them. American’s are always trying to prosecute somebody.
I would not pay for lousy work either unless the contractor agreed to re-do what I was not pleased with B4 I paid him.
I am sure that if the work was done properly Mr. Perry would have paid the workers!
Congrats to the Boy’s Choir.
Tyler, do your thing. You know people will try to take you kindness for a weakness. Don’t let they run over you.
I agree with Mr. Perry you do the work first if Iam not pleased then you don’t get pay until you do the job as I like it —–You go Boy.

tyler needs to pay them. sounds like he was not satisfied at first, they made the upgrades and revisions, and if the work was completed to specifications he should pay them otherwise, he should have fired them and hired someone else to finish the job. but going to court will end up costing more than whats originally due.
I wish I were Black!!!
This is making me sleepy.
On boy I sure am starting to go to sleepy .
Iam going to bed .
Nighty nighting every one.
Well Tyler I feel if you don’t or didn’ like the work and you let the contractors know that right up front the moment you notice your dissatisfaction, I would hope the contractors would honor your request to change anything that wasn’t to your liking and if they refused to do so then yes you should refuse to pay for something you don’t want but if they make the changes that you would like done then I’m more than sure you would be a stand up guy and pay them . PS. I love your work I wish I could be in one of your productions.
If thecontracts say PAY. Tyler needs to PAY. Many times we may not get what we thought we were going to get, BUT, the contract has to be fulfilled. TYLER, PAY THE FOLKS and let them get on with their lives. Don’t let something this small get into your pockets. Little things do get BIG, and you don’t won’t to start with LAWSUITS. Ask you friends who have already gone through LAWSUITS. LAWSUITS can get very COSTLY.
We as Christians have to obey the laws of the land, Tyler.
hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
bbboooooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
yall need to satop hatin on tyler cuz yall dont no if dis CRAP
hey shade, how about you come to my place and we can kick it with some old skool joints and make some jungle babies….???
Even if you didn’t like the work you need to pay the people who completed it. YOu can’t simply have someone do work at your house & not pay them.. It’s riduculous. I think if someone is a “nice guy” they don’t need to go around proclaiming such.
