Movie magnate Tyler Perry called out superstar songstresses Janet Jackson and Jill Scott recently regarding the continuation of the Why Did I Get Married? franchise, and Scott has responded.
Perry, 54, was interviewed by “Entertainment Tonight” prior to his inaugural TheGrio Awards when the owner of Tyler Perry Studios jokingly insinuated that the two singers are holding up progress in the creation of Why Did I Get Married 3.
“If Janet and Jill Scott say yes, I’m waiting for them to say it,” Perry deadpanned.
Perry’s response made its way onto the Twitter page for Entertainment Weekly.
