The actor and film director was reacting to criticism about wigs shown on his series ‘Sistas.
He told critics to stop blaming it on him as he has no expertise in doing hair.
This is what he said:
“I want all of y’all to stop talking about hair to me, please. I swear to you, these are the things I can do. I can run a company, I can build a house, I can go on stage. I do all of this stuff. I know what I do. I don’t know how to do hair. I don’t know anything about it.”
Perry said he hires people to handle wigs and styling for his movies and shows and believes they are doing a good job. He added,
“I hire people to do hair. Pay them KSh 6500 an hour. You heard that right, KSh 6500 an hour. They work 10 to 12 hours a day to make sure the hair is right. That’s their job, so I’m paying them to do their job and they’re doing that. They’re doing a great job,” he added.

“In a world with so much sadness, please try and stay in the good! Merry Christmas and let’s look forward to 2021 bringing us peace!”
