Tyler Perry owns BET & BET+! We are so excited to share this news because it has been 21 years since BET has been owned by an African American.
In 2001, Johnson and his team sold BET for $3 million dollars which made him the first African American billionaire.
Viacom became the owners of BET but kept its original name.
Now, we are proud to say that Tyler Perry is the official owner of not only BET but also BET+ and VH1.
Which makes him the first African American to own two major networks.
Tyler Perry has blessed us with many movies, shows and you can’t forget his plays. He is now blessing us by taking back what is ours.
Tyler Perry continues to surprise us with his achievements and we are here for it!! We are excited!
Social media has also stepped in and congratulated Tyler Perry on his deal and accomplishing the very thing we needed.
Most people on social media are excited for Tyler Perry and are curious as to where he will take the network. While also not letting any negative comments slide during this news!
