According to TMZ, maybe Eddie Murphy is working on a sequel of Coming to America. Sources are telling them that Eddie Murphy is in the "early stages" of a script for this sequel, and are also saying that his tweet was sent out prematurely. There's no word on why this apparent mishap occurred, but that would explain the deleted tweet.

When the Eddie Murphy classic comedy "Coming to America" first cracked up audiences, in 1988, there was no such thing as Twitter.
Today, though, we live in a world that Prince Akeem wouldn't recognize. And like so many stories of today, this one starts with a tweet.
Eddie Murphy (or someone) issued a tweet from the actor's official Twitter account.
It was just four words accompanying a picture of Akeem's proposed queen. (The one he made bark like a dog, remember?)

"'Coming to America' sequel?" read the tweet.
That was all it took. The Twitterati lost their minds. However, there's still some question as to what exactly that tweet means.
Murphy's daughter Bria posted a screenshot of a conversation she had with her father via text.
She asked about the sequel. His response? "Twitter account? What Twitter account? I have a Twitter account?"

True to his nature, though, it appears that Murphy was kidding with his daughter.
TMZ reports that the sequel is actually in the works. "Sources close to Eddie tell us he's in the early writing stages of the project," TMZ reported.

People are, understandably, a bit conflicted about this news.
"A 'Coming to America' sequel is completely unnecessary. Period," tweeted @girljennnn.

Others were a bit more excited about the prospect of a sequel to one of the funniest films of all time.
"Say no more haha," tweeted @Iamddep. "Let me go look for the freshest Dashiki fits for me and my Lisa lol." It seems that this is happening, people. And maybe it's a good thing. As Akeem himself might say, "No journey is too great when one finds what he seeks."
