Tyler Perry Lawsuit
February 8th, 2010 by Hannah
Tyler Perry is facing a lawsuit from songwriter Johnny Tyrone Stringfield because of unauthorized use of his lyrics on an episode of ‘Meet the Browns’. Several characters on the show sang the lines “The Devil thought he had me … but I got away” which is actually from Johnny’s song ‘I Got Away’. Unfortunately, Tyler and the companies behind the show have not paid up. The gospel singer is asking for over $100,000 to keep things copacetic. Tyler should just pay up. It’s not like he doesn’t have the bank accounts that couldn’t pay it. I’m sure his earnings from ‘Madea’ wouldn’t even break a sweat.
