It was quite unexpected for fans when news of a possible feud between Alfonso Ribeiro and Tyler Perry surfaced in 2024. The two Hollywood stars, who were once seen as friendly acquaintances, seemed to have hit a rough patch. Ribeiro, famously known for his role as Carlton Banks on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," took to Twitter to make a bold statement against working with Perry, the media mogul.
On May 28th, Ribeiro replied to a fan's tweet requesting Perry's help in revamping the "Dancing with the Stars" host's acting career. In his response, Ribeiro made it clear that he had no interest in Perry's assistance. This tweet caused quite a stir among fans, who were curious to know the reason behind Ribeiro's sudden dislike towards Perry.
One fan asked for an explanation, while another wondered if there was some underlying conflict between the two stars. Some suggested that Ribeiro should address the issue on Shannon Sharpe's podcast, "Club Shay Shay," to clear the air. Others felt that Ribeiro did not have the standing to start a feud with Perry, given the latter's impressive career in TV and film.
Interestingly, Ribeiro has actually worked with Perry in the past, directing several episodes of the hit sitcom "Meet the Browns" in 2009 and 2010. After his success in the 90s with shows like "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "In The House," Ribeiro has continued to stay relevant in the industry through hosting gigs on "Dancing with the Stars" (which he won in 2014) and "America's Funniest Home Videos." He also hosts "Jack Hanna's Passport" on ABC.
However, in a recent interview, Ribeiro revealed that his iconic role as Carlton Banks had both positive and negative impacts on his career. While it brought him immense fame and recognition, it also typecast him and limited his acting opportunities. Despite this, he has come to terms with the impact of the character and has learned to appreciate the way it resonates with people.
He shared, "I have come to the realization that when people come up to me on the street and ask me to do the Carlton dance, it's more about their experience with the show and the character, rather than me. I've learned to empathize with them and understand their connection to the character."
In the end, it's heartening to see that Ribeiro has made peace with the impact of "The Fresh Prince" on his career and has learned to appreciate the love and admiration fans have for Carlton Banks. As for the feud with Perry, it remains to be seen if the two will be able to resolve their differences and move past this disagreement.
