"Tryna cast them for his next film" — Internet reacts to Tyler Perry showering cash on twerking dancer at Usher concert

Tyler Perry attended Usher's 'Past Present Future Tour' show in Atlanta on October 20. Social media videos showed him playfully showering a dancer with Usher Bucks while she was twerking on stage. In the clip, Perry approached the dancer, placed the fake currency on the ground near her, and then tapped her on the shoulder.

The dancer gave him a wide grin when she noticed him, and the actor can be seen moving away from the stage, seemingly saying, "I'm out, I'm out." This interaction was noticed by Usher, who strode down and called Perry back to the stage, before handing him more Usher Bucks to spend during the show.

The video snippet, which went viral on social media, was met with hilarious responses. One person claimed Tyler Perry was scouting talent for his next movie, tweeting:

"Tyler tryna cast them for his next film," wrote a person.

"He was tryna get inspiration for a new film," another person tweeted.

Many joked that Tyler Perry looked ready to "risk it all," while others made references to his popular character Madea.

"Bro don’t even care anymore he ready to risk it all," one person tweeted.

"She turned Madea back into a man," another person added.

"He looks so out of place," someone else noted.

"This is the most normal thing I ever seen him do I’m use to only seeing him do interviews," another user commented.

Several people commented on Tyler Perry's seemingly polite demeanor when interacting with the dancer.

"I love how he gave her the money “Here you go, ma’am!" one person wrote.

"He’s the type to be like “ you don’t have to do this’," another person added.

Usher's next show on his 'Past Present Future Tour' is expected to be at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte on October 22, 2024.
