In case you missed how Eddie Murphy’s tweet recently broke the internet, let me ‘break it down’ like Tevin Campbell for you.
On Wednesday (3-15-17), Eddie’s official Twitter account posted a simple message with a Coming To America photo of Vanessa Ball Calloway as “Princess Imani.” The photo was caption, “Coming To America Sequel?”
It was only a matter of hours before Eddie’s tweet went viral. Everybody and their Mommas started assuming, hoping, and/or questioning whether or not a Coming To America part two was about to hit theaters. The tweet became a trending topic all over social media, but Eddie stayed true to his super private form and didn’t speak out to confirm, nor deny the rumors.
After the tweet spread like wildfire, Eddie’s entire Twitter account did a disappearing act.
Sequel Confirmed?
TMZ then reported that Murphy is, in fact, shooting a sequel to the film soon:
Via TMZ: Sources close to Eddie tell us he’s in the early writing stages of the project. No word yet on which original cast members would return because he’s still tinkering with the plot. So, it really could happen.
