Tyler Perry's at the White House?

Tyler Perry's been to the White House before. He and Usher were among the local notables who traveled to DC for the 2015 Kennedy Center honors.

"What an amazing night last night!!!" Perry later posted with this selfie he shot outside 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. "I was at the White House for the Kennedy Center Honors!! Congrats to all the honorees and my darling Cicely Tyson!!"

He landed another presidential post on his busy social media accounts on Tuesday .. but this one was a little different.
