Last year, Tyler Perry participated in a bidding war with Beyonce and Jay-Z's oldest daughter, Blue Ivy, at the Second Annual Wearable Art Gala. While he won against Blue, he wasn't so lucky this year.
TMZ reported that, at the event hosted by Tina Knowles Lawson and her husband Richard Lawson's WACO Theater, the filmmaker partook in an art bid for a portrait of the late Nipsey Hussle.
Perry, who was the Trailblazer Award honoree of the night, got into a bidding war with fellow honoree Felicia Horowitz for the Tiffanie Anderson piece.
Made up of acrylic, mica flakes, crystal, broken glass and resin on a wood panel, the bidding for the portrait began at $50,000 and went way up to $100,000.
