Alfonso Ribeiro shades Tyler Perry, sparks feud speculation

Carlton Vs. Madea.

Alfonso Ribeiro shaded Tyler Perry online Tuesday after someone on X (formerly known as Twitter) suggested that Perry, 54, “needs to revamp” Ribeiro’s career.

“I don’t need or ever want that man to do anything for me,” Ribeiro, 52, wrote back.

Perry has yet to respond to Ribeiro’s shady message.

The Post has reached out to reps for Ribeiro and Perry for comment.

The two previously worked together when Ribeiro directed 12 episodes of Perry’s sitcom “Meet the Browns” from 2009 to 2010.

Fans responded to Ribeiro’s tweet confused about how and why this alleged feud between the pair started.

“What does he know that we don’t,” one person tweeted.

“Explain further,” said another.

A different person wrote, “The savage level just went through the roof on this. I don’t know what happened but something did. Speak your truth Carlton.”

Another tweet read, “This is hostile Carlton. Please tell us more.”

Other fans speculated that Ribeiro might have had a negative experience working on “Meet the Browns.”

Ribeiro’s anti-Perry tweet came after he did an interview with Closer Weekly where he admitted that his career took a hit after six years of playing Carlton Banks on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

“Playing Carlton on ‘Fresh Prince’ became a sacrifice,” he said. “I used to always say doing Carlton was the greatest and worst thing that ever happened to me.”

“It was one of the greatest roles that I ever was fortunate enough to play, but it was also the role that stopped me from acting again because people couldn’t see me as anything else. The sacrifice was not having an acting career anymore.”

Ribeiro has moved away from acting in recent years. He’s directed episodes of shows like “Young & Hungry” and “K.C. Undercover” and hosts “Dancing With the Stars” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”

When asked if he’d return to acting, Ribeiro told Closer, “I’m enjoying being a host and am very happy with it. But, yes, I would go back to acting if it was exactly the right thing.”

Perry, meanwhile, has been busy creating and producing an abundance of projects for BET and Netflix, including the shows “The Oval” and “All the Queen’s Men.”

According to his IMDb, he has six movies he wrote that are currently in pre and post production.
