BLACK DON'T CRACK

It is safe to say that Hollywood star Payne is one of the celebrities that live up to the famous saying, "Black Don't Crack," and he makes sure to show off on Instagram.

UPDATES ON PAYNE

Earlier this year, Nickelodeon, in conjunction with Tyler Perry, set the cast for Perry's new series, "Young Dylan," with Payne playing Myles Wilson, the wealthy patriarch who adopts his nephew.

Dylan's presence in Wilson's home brings about a clash of culture between him, a young aspiring rapper, and Wilson's conventional kids, Rebecca and Charlie.

In 2014, Payne was in the news regarding his split from Melika Payne, his wife of over two decades. Melika had filed for divorce after citing irreconcilable differences.

Melika requested full physical and shared legal custody of their only son. She also asked for spousal support. The duo got married in 1992 when the actor's fame was blossoming.

While Payne keeps up with fans through "Young Dylan," he is also involved in stand-up comedy. Last year, he took his expertise to showbiz lovers at Greenville.
