Terry Pheto was among many celebs who congratulated Tyler on his recent achievement - she gave him a cool shout-out to show how proud she is of the work he's done.

Briefly.co.za gathered a handful of snaps from the gala showing how stunning some of the guests looked:

Fox News reports that Tyler opened the studios because he was 'ignored' in Hollywood.

"I believe that I’m ignored in Hollywood, for sure, and that’s fine. I get it. My audience and the stories that I tell are African-American stories specific to a certain audience, specific to a certain group of people that I know, that I grew up, and we speak a language.

"Hollywood doesn’t necessarily speak the language. A lot of critics don’t speak that language."
