No Death Scenes for Madea Just Yet

Tyler Perry clears up the rumors that he’ll be killing off his alter ego, Madea.
"I have been saying for years that the moment people stop coming to see her she will die a quick death," he writes. "For years I've said this. Now, all of a sudden, it's everywhere that I'm killing her off. That's strange to me." Among Madea's fans, writes Perry is legend, Aretha Franklin. "I got a letter from The Queen of Soul herself saying (and this made me laugh so hard) 'There are two things that have brought you over. One is Jesus, and the other is 'Madea.' And you bet' not get rid of either one of them!' " Perry quotes Franklin as saying. After directing Why Did I Get Married Too, he says, "Madea will be taking a break for awhile. Not dead. Just a break (smile)." Source
He can’t kill her yet. I just started liking her.
