Tyler Perry took to Instagram on Monday (February 20th) to deny the reports that Tyler Perry’s House of Payne actress Cassi Davis died of lung cancer. Perry shared a screenshot of the article in question and wrote “THIS IS A LIE,” over it in red text.
He wrote in the caption, “After I’ve gotten several calls from people giving me their condolences and I didn’t know what they were talking about, I was sent this article that’s going around.”
Perry continued, “I don’t know how she could have died and nobody told me or her. So I called her and asked her was she dead and she said hell no!”
