I like this a lot , gives him ownership for all his shows

 

[mike030270]

Looks like it's between him and Byron Allen that are the interested buyers

 

[Sony Montana]

That’s cool to see

 

[Inori]

Lets hope if he ends up getting it he takes it as an opportunity to hire more black actors, writers, producers, directors etc instead of tryna do everything himself

Man how do you become a program director for Television? I couldn't stomach working for Tyler Perry but I got the vision if Byron gets a hold of it.

That would require paying people which i thought has been said around him that he doesnt pay good. Or maybe i heard something different
