" The prevention [ is ] in hell for millennial womanhood . "
Tyler Perryhas sparked a debate online after sharing his thoughts on how bills should be split by certain couples.
The billionaireMadeamogulsharedhis take on a recent episode of the podcastKeep It Positive, Sweetiewith actor Crystal Hayslett.
“A lot of women, especially Black women, and I might get in trouble for saying this, but I will,” he began. “In our society right now, Black women are making a lot more money, for the most part, than Black men."
He continued: “If you can find love, if that man works at whatever job and is a good man and is good to you, and honors you, and honors the house, and honors his wife, and does what he can … because his gift might not be your gift, that is okay. That’s not somebody that’s beneath you. That’s somebody who came to love you at your worth.”
Tyler added, “As long as he’s secure in himself to know that, ‘Yep, she makes most of the money, all I can pay is the light bill.’ As long as she’s comfortable enough to say, ‘I’m gonna cover the mortgage and all the other stuff’ … that’s fine.”
Tyler said it’s a “hard” concept for some because they have such high standards and expectations. “But when you talk about just someone to love and support you, I know people whose men can’t touch what they make,” he explained. “But when you see them together? That love, that support, that ‘I got you, babe,’ it’s a beautiful thing.”
People on Twitter said absolutely not.
Tyler Perry full of shit man .. I do n’t really partake in bill convos .. but a match living together and the dude only paying the light measure is unacceptable
One person wrote, “I don’t care what Tyler Perry say, ain’t no, ‘I only got $50 on the light bill ass’ man allowed in my house. I’m perfectly fine with being single forever.”

Another commented, “The bar [is] in hell for millennial women.”
Tyler Perry say it ’s ok to marry a man that can only pay the light bill long as he sleep together you … The bar in hell for millennial fair sex
Tyler Perry ’s 30 - yr compulsion with telling Black women what character of man they should want makes a deal more sense when you actualise he ’s selling his own fantasies and desire of his ideal dude , and disastrous women ’s actual needs do n’t factor in .
Some said they wished Tyler had used the moment to encourage men to get on it instead of telling women to adapt.
I do n’t even understand Tyler Perry ’s slant . You ’d recall a gentleman in his position would be encourage other piece to step it up , not recite women to settle …
Tyler Perry always encouraging Black adult female to date down & that ’s the mf’n trouble . Why are n’t we telling opprobrious piece to be more ambitious , life history driven , invest in the right thing , take precaution of the habitation first , etc . Why is it always contraband woman come down to meet them where they at?https://t.co / YjnMVQvlf1
Why does n’t a rich black man like Tyler Perry ploughshare knowledge , insight , & tips to calamitous men to pose themselves to be beneficial provider ? 🤔 Always asking pitch-dark cleaning lady to adjust & accommodate to a patriarch organization we did n’t produce & is project against us is insane to me 🤯 https://t.co/VPQYZudfD4

But some people also agreed with Tyler.
mind , Tyler Perry is right . The trouble with a plenty of women in our generation mightily now is that y’ all rivet so much on the money and how much a man induce when it come to relationship these day … what happen to their lineament ?

The fact that MAJORITY of Black citizenry did n’t really understand what Tyler Perry allege but rather took it as an attack makes me recognize FOR SURE that our high society is in DEEP trouble!#TylerPerrypic.twitter.com/5hqEYKSy6r
