Alfonso Ribeiro, best known for his role as Carlton Banks on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," has ignited a social media storm after throwing shade at filmmaker Tyler Perry. The online exchange occurred when a user on X (formerly known as Twitter) suggested that Perry should "revamp" Ribeiro's career. Promptly responding, Ribeiro made it clear that he wanted no assistance from Perry.

In a direct response to the comment, Ribeiro, 52, posted, "I don't need or ever want that man to do anything for me." Perry, 54, has yet to respond to Ribeiro's sly message. The Post has reached out to representatives for both Ribeiro and Perry for further comment.

Interestingly, the two entertainers have a previous working history, as Ribeiro directed 12 episodes of Perry's sitcom "Meet the Browns" from 2009 to 2010. However, fans were left confused about the sudden tension and the origins of this alleged feud between the two talents. Many fans took to social media to express their curiosity, demanding an explanation from Ribeiro.

"What does he know that we don't," one person tweeted, while another fan pleaded for more details, stating, "Explain further." The tweet received mixed reactions, with some praising Ribeiro for his savage response and others simply wanting more information about the situation.

Some fans speculated that Ribeiro's discontent may stem from a negative experience while working on "Meet the Browns." However, no further details regarding such issues have been disclosed at this time.

The timing of Ribeiro's anti-Perry tweet coincides with his recent interview with Closer Weekly, where he openly discussed the impact his iconic role as Carlton Banks had on his acting career. According to Ribeiro, playing Carlton became both a blessing and a curse.

Ribeiro expressed, "Playing Carlton on 'Fresh Prince' became a sacrifice. I used to always say doing Carlton was the greatest and worst thing that ever happened to me." He further explained that the character typecast him and prevented him from securing diverse acting opportunities. "People couldn't see me as anything else," Ribeiro lamented. This sacrifice ultimately influenced his decision to explore other aspects of the entertainment industry.

In recent years, Ribeiro has transitioned into directing, with credits including episodes of "Young & Hungry" and "K.C. Undercover." Additionally, he has found success as a television host on shows such as "Dancing With the Stars" and "America's Funniest Home Videos." When asked about a potential return to acting, Ribeiro revealed that he is content with his hosting career but would consider acting again if the right opportunity presented itself.

As fans continue to speculate about the dynamic between Alfonso Ribeiro and Tyler Perry, it remains to be seen if any further developments will arise from this online exchange.
