Acclaimed preacher TD Jakes tells followers to “log off” when it comes to recent social media allegations. Jakes was the subject of a recent unverified report on Tiktok that he was a frequent guest at sex parties that the rapper and businessman known as “Diddy” hosted. The minister’s sexuality was also called into question.
While seemingly streaming his Christmas service Saturday on KZfaq, Jakes said, “Out of concern, some of you come in to hear what I’m going to say. All of you who expect me to address a lie… you can log off.” Speaking over the roar of applause from the audience, Jakes adds, “I will not use this sacred day and this sacred pulpit to address a lie when I have a chance to preach a truth.”
He adds, “I will stand straight up, head up, back straight and preach the unadulteraed, infaillable word of God.”
Looking into the camera, he added: “I am not here to convince nobody because I know who I am.”
The pastor did leave a door open to future remarks, saying, “But there will be a time.”
