While we may never know what caused the massive fire 4 alarm fire last Tuesday, at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta on Tuesday, we DO know that there was some sort of loud noise or “explosion” that preceeded the huge blaze.

Atlanta’s fire chief said on Wednesday (May 2) afternoon that the damage was so intense that officials don’t think they will ever be able to find the source of the blaze.
“The cause of the fire will be recorded as undetermined,” Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin J. Cochran said in a statement, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“The intensity of the fire in the area of origin consumed any evidence that would lead to a cause of ignition.”
Well here’s what “they” have been saying around town about the fire…
Now before y’all jump to any conclusions, I can tell you who it was NOT.
It was NOT “Think Like A Man” producer Will Packer, who just so happens to be Tyler’s stiffest competition these days and just so happens to reside in Atlanta.

I jokingly mentioned Will, along with producers Spike Lee and John Singleton as my primary suspects, and Will verified that he was not invovled.
But Packer DID think our LIVE on the scene coverage was funny…
The fire damaged the exterior of one building in the center of the 30-acre, 200,000 square-foot complex, but thanks to the construction materials, it did not reach into the interior, which did, however, suffer some water damage from firefighting efforts.
My inside sources over at TPS say that many feel that it’s kinda odd that the set that caught most of the damage was actually scheduled to be demolished soon.
Now we’re not saying that Tyler needs insurance money or any such thing! BUT… it is a bit coincidental that the area was destined for destruction anyway.
But I digress…
Other talk on the gossip mill around town is that Tyler may be catching hell from “Karma”…
Apparently there’s some sort of rule in place where no other entities can film on the lots at Tyler Perry Studios.
“They” say many have asked but apparently only Tyler Perry projects are allowed.
“They” also say that TPS could have been a haven for up and coming independent film makers, where they could shoot movies unencumbered by the stiff protocols of securing locations or other sitcoms that shoot in Atlanta BET’s “The Game” and VH1′s “Single Ladies” could have gotten a leg up in production if perhaps they could shoot in the secluded lots of TPS.
And again… these are all RUMORS and SPECULATIONS.
At least we know Will Packer didn’t do it. But has anyone heard from Spike Lee? We all know how he feels… 
Since the police chief says they will probably never determine the cause, who do you think set off that “mini bomb” over at Perry’s Studio?

He by sheere did it,not sure if he/she have motives…..
These are very serious accustions. Insurance fraud is a crime. Why would you say something like that? This man has millions of dollars, why would he jepordize his hard work for an insurance check. Crazy people.
They should go find that teenager who was out there talking about he heard a BOOM!
I think Tyler is having money troubles. His TPS lot is massive and I bet the upkeep and everything else associated with it is expensive. Back in 2009 he sold his house for a 50% loss, his dream house. If this guy is worth 500 million or a little more, then why take a loss of 3 million on a 6 million dollar house? He could have waited it out and the name alone would have driven the house back up in price. I think he has spread himself to thin and whatever investments he had that may have taken a hit back in 2008 and on may have destroyed much of his networth.
sounds like he did it to hide something like the fact that he probably filmed little boys inappropriately….
The fact that the fire department would rule the fire as "undetermined" in itself is suspicious to me! Even in the worst fires, firefighters have mastered down to a science what the cause of a blaze is and they "DEFINITELY" know when Arson is a culprit by how quickly a fire spreads,intensity of heat,color of flames,char pattern et,cetera,et cetera. I don’t believe T.P had anything to do with this suspicious fire, but I do think that there are people who want him out of Business especially White studio owners in Hollywood. T.P is the first African American Major Studio owner and they don’t want to see others come behind him and secretly,but(Openly)seek to destroy everything he has worked hard to build. Oprah might be his Heavyweight sidekick,but she is now struggling too and can’t really help him at this point. They both know there are other more powerful behind the scene forces at work and if they both as successful black entrepreneurs refuse to throw in the towel and go away they may be forced to or worse meet with an unfortunate accident.IJS,because it’s some real haters out here.
I agree w/custom. I watch the ID channel. They can analyze the ash and also the pattern how the fire burned. Forensics usually catches everything. There’s more to this story I think.
@customcalendars4u2
I totally agree eith everything you said. Especially T
the firefighters ruling the fire "undetermined" hmmmm…..
I just cannot believe they are leaving as "undetermined". Sounds like someone is in the "pocket". This is crazy! I think someone needs to investigate the fire chief
Dirtygurl that was a dumb statement.
If it were arson, they found have found traces of an excellerant like gasoline. I think it was maybe electrical. Some wire became too hot, popped, and the fire started.
It something wrong with that ship.Was done in the dark will come out in the light.My God bless you Mr. Perry
I am just glad to hear that no one was killed or hurt. You can always re-build something,you can not bring back the dead on this earth. life is precious.
Tyler Perry has so many projects going on, he can’t allow others to film there. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
I’m sure if and when things slow down, he’ll allow others in, but in the mean time TYLER PERRY paid for TYLER PERRY STDUIOS with TYLER PERRY’s money, so TYLER PERRY can do what he wants.
i hope that everything works out fine,and i hope that it did not hurt him too bad money wise,because i love everything he does,i will support him forever
Ol
All illuninati people!!I dont care
That’s not a big deal. Most fire reports list unintentional or undetermined in the initial report. People are so ignorant.
