He disclosed in a tweet in which he mentioned Tyler Perry to partner him to get this done. "Hey @tylerperry let’s go half on a film studio in Ghana, I’ll get the land and you build the studio," he tweeted.

However, Tyler Perry, whose notification should be buzzing by now, is yet to respond. In 2019, the multiple Oscars winning producer celebrated the grand opening of his 330 acres studio based in Atlanta.

Tyler Perry Studios is the largest film production studio in the United States and established Perry as the first African-American to outright own a major film production studio.

The State of the art edifice scattered at its location has also become a tourist site for many. With this in mind, fans believe any Tyler Perry project in Africa, in collaboration with Micheal Blackson, will be a massive project.
