Another day, another challenge. Recently, celebrities went viral after clips of them singing John Lennon's "Imagine" circulated online. Later, Tyler Perry called on his famous friends to flex their vocal skills while singing "He's Got The Whole World in His Hands."

Perry wrote on Instagram. He added the hashtag, "#HesGotTheWholeWorldChallenge" before tagging a handful of others.
