TD Jakes Reveals He Underwent Emergency Surgery Following Health Scare

December 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

TD Jakes is still recovering from his medical emergency earlier this month, and addressed his church virtually to give them his first update on the matter. “I’m grateful for this season in my life,” he began. “I told you last Sunday that I’d see you this Sunday, and so here I am. I am grateful to God for his goodness and his grace. Many of you don’t realize that you’re looking at a miracle. I faced a life-threatening calamity, was rushed to the ICU unit, I had emergency surgery, survived the surgery. Yeah, I’m back. And the doctor wants me to go slow coming back.”

However, this comes after Bishop T.D. Jakes suggested that a Diddy accuser’s legal team is what provoked the stress that led to this emergency. “These accusations are patently false,” he claimed via a defamation lawsuit against fellow pastor Duane Youngblood, who accused Jakes of trying to sexually assault him when he was 18 or 19 years old. “Bishop Jakes never kissed or tried to kiss Youngblood, never cornered him or forced him into any situation (sexual or otherwise), and certainly never told him that he wanted to sleep with him or had any conversation of a sexual nature at all with him.

“The interactions described by Youngblood during his LRL interviews on October 28 and November 3 never happened — period,” T.D. Jakes alleged. “This lawsuit is intended to bring that scheme to a halt. To end the extreme emotional, physical, and spiritual toll Defendants’ conduct has caused Bishop Jakes, to set the record straight so the world understands the patent falsity of the accusations, and to restore Bishop Jakes’s reputation.”

Now that Bishop T.D. Jakes is in a more stable condition, it’s likely that he will return to his church soon enough and continue to connect with his congregation. However, we understand that it’s a very complicated situation and that we don’t know many important details about this, so we’ll see how this works out. In any case, we wish Jakes the best in his path to recovery and hope that he can carry out his mission and engage with his passion sooner rather than later.

Bishop TD Jakes Is Stable Following Health Scare During Sermon

November 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Folks recently shared their well-wishes and shocked sympathies for Bishop TD Jakes, who recently suffered a medical emergency at his church in Dallas, Texas on Sunday (November 24) during a sermon. Now, the church in question, The Potter’s House, has issued a statement on the matter that should hopefully assuage fans’ worries. “During today’s service, Bishop T.D. Jakes experienced a slight health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour-long message. Bishop Jakes is stable and under the care of medical professionals. the entire Potter’s House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community. Thank you for your understanding and continued prayers.”

Hopefully Bishop T.D. Jakes continues to recover well and is able to return to his calling sooner rather than later. While he’s always been a notable pop culture figure, he really rose in the headlines and Internet gossip circles last year when folks alleged a connection to the Diddy scandal. Apparently, Jakes had been to some parties and indulged in the alleged “freaky” activity that took place at them. It didn’t take long before a response emerged.

“Recent claims circulating on pockets of social media about Bishop T.D. Jakes are unequivocally false and baseless,” his team relayed in a statement. “What has always been true, in the words of the late Pastor Charles H. Spurgeon, ‘If you want the truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world it will fly; it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it.’ [It’s] disheartening to witness the proliferation of numerous deepfake photos and the distortion of words through false, sensationalized misrepresentations, encapsulating purported statements to falsely speculate and attack others, including Bishop Jakes.”

Meanwhile, Bishop T.D. Jakes himself condemned Diddy’s assault of Cassie after the hotel footage surfaced, so he’s done what he can to distance himself from those assumptions. Hopefully he doesn’t face any further challenges regarding his health scare, and he can return to his life’s work with the same passion.

Bishop TD Jakes Seemingly Suffers Medical Emergency During Sunday Sermon

November 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

TD Jakes, the bishop and pastor that rose to prominence for his alleged connection to Diddy, seemingly suffered a medical emergency during a sermon on Sunday morning (November 24). He was addressing the church congregators and the folks at home who were watching him via livestream, quietly wiping sweat off his face, telling his audience he loves them, and speaking on visiting someone at the hospital who motivated their visitor. At one point, Jakes stopped his speech, his arms fell to the side, and he began to shake, which prompted many people to run over and try to help him. The livestream ended shortly after. Hopefully the Potter’s House megachurch senior pastor recovers well and quickly.

Previously, T.D. Jakes made headlines for his remarks after the footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway emerged online. “Then, a woman said to me, ‘Would you please pray for women who are living in danger in their own house?’” he said. “And there was something about the way she said it… It was a cry for help. The atrocious, degrading, demeaning, debauchery — I know who it was, but I saw my daughters. As a man, I saw my daughters, and it made me angry… And I thought if it affected me like that as a man, how much more is that image a trigger for women who have been through that, who are currently going through that… And feel trapped in situations where you are being physically and emotionally and verbally abused?”

TD Jakes Seems To Face Medical Emergency

Even though T.D. Jakes completely denied any malicious involvement with Diddy, the Bad Boy mogul continues to find inspiration in his perspective. Both of them are in pretty tough situations right now for wholly different reasons, but we don’t know the extent of their disconnection these days.

“I will not use this sacred day and this sacred pulpit to address a lie when I have the chance to preach the truth,” T.D. Jakes said during his Christmas Eve sermon. These rumors shot Jakes up into the stratosphere of media attention thanks to the Diddy scandal. But sadly, now he has larger issues to deal with that we hope he can recover from.

Bishop TD Jakes Condemns Domestic Violence In Sermon Following Diddy’s Assault Video

May 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bishop TD Jakes addressed the topic of domestic violence during his latest sermon on Sunday after CNN published footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016. While he didn’t mention Diddy’s video by name, he alluded to images that have been “floating over the news all week.”

The topic began with Jakes recalling a woman reaching out to him for prayers. “Then, a woman said to me, ‘Would you please pray for women who are living in danger in their own house?’” he explained. “And there was something about the way she said it… it was a cry for help.” He added of the footage: “The atrocious, degrading, demeaning, debauchery — I know who it was, but I saw my daughters. As a man, I saw my daughters, and it made me angry… and I thought if it affected me like that as a man, how much more is that image a trigger for women who have been through that, who are currently going through that… and feel trapped in situations where you are being physically and emotionally and verbally abused?”

Diddy previously thanked the pastor for “holding [him] down in the dark times” in a speech at the BET Awards in 2022. He mentioned the “darkest times” of his life again in an apology for the incident in a video posted to social media on Sunday. He explained that he’s been seeking professional help through therapy in rehab in the years since the attack. Despite the clip, Diddy won’t be facing criminal charges related to the incident.

Diddy Finds Inspiration In Bishop T.D. Jakes Sermon Amid Ongoing Legal Battle

May 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Diddy’s life has become tremendously complicated in the past few months, as the mogul is currently at the center of a federal human trafficking investigation. Two of his homes were raided by Homeland Security in March, only furthering the chatter surrounding his ongoing lawsuits. Aside from trafficking, Diddy is also accused of sexual assault, physical abuse, and more.

While this would surely wreak havoc on anybody’s life, it looks like the Bad Boy Records founder is doing his best to keep it together. Today, he shared a post on Instagram which shows him and some loved ones spending time together at the beach. It featured a snippet from one of Bishop T.D. Jakes’ sermons, in which he speaks about remaining “steady in the storm.”

Unfortunately for Diddy, however, this seems to have only added fuel to the fire. For those who don’t recall, Jakes has previously been accused of participating in “sex parties” at Diddy’s house, which he denies. In Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy, he also alleged to have “irrefutable evidence” that shows “how (Combs) planned to leverage his relationship with Bishop T.D. Jakes, to soften the impact on his public image of Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit.” Lil Rod’s lawsuit did not include any allegations of wrongdoing on Jakes’ part.

Social media users are now clowning Diddy for the post in The Shade Room‘s comments section, arguing that he picked the wrong bishop. “TD Jakes of all people,” one user says. “I Don’t Think He Realize Him & TD In The Same Boat,” another writes. What do you think of Diddy’s latest Instagram post? What about him using a snippet from one of Bishop T.D. Jakes’ sermons about remaining “steady in the storm”? Do you agree that he picked the wrong bishop? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

T.D. Jakes Dismisses Diddy Rumors During Christmas Eve Sermon

December 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

American pastor T.D. Jakes has vehemently dismissed rumors that he has any connection to Diddy. “I will not use this sacred day and this sacred pulpit to address a lie when I have the chance to preach the truth,” Jakes said at the start of his Christmas Eve sermon.

This comes after Jakes’ team vehemently denied the reports. Recent claims circulating on pockets of social media about Bishop T.D. Jakes are unequivocally false and baseless. What has always been true, in the words of the late Pastor Charles H. Spurgeon, ‘If you want the truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world it will fly; it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it,’” the executive of public relations for Jakes’ church network said earlier in the week.

Has Diddy Been Cursed?

Meanwhile, resurfaced photos of Diddy‘s full-back tattoo of the Haitian spirit Ezili Dantor have led to wild speculation online. Many have theorized that Diddy’s recent legal troubles are a result of angering the Vodou spirit, which represents the divinity of love but has also been likened to an “angry mother” by some anthropologists. Due to Diddy’s alleged victims being women and children, some believe that Ezili Dantor is working against the Bad Boy Records founder as a form of retribution.

There are now four lawsuits out against Diddy, with one settled. The accusations against Diddy have been growing increasingly disturbing. Both the third and fourth lawsuits alleged rape against the Bad Boy Records founder. The third suit, filed late on Thanksgiving, stems back to the late 90s. In the suit, the anonymous woman claims she went on a date with him in 1991 while attending Syracuse. However, she alleges that Diddy drugged her during dinner, before filming them while he raped her. Furthermore, she claims that she was later made aware that the video of the assault had been shown to and viewed by multiple people.

T.D. Jakes Allegations Earn Interesting Response From Lil Duval

December 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The final few weeks of the year are known to be a chaotic time for many as holiday preparations are underway across the globe. We’re still seeing plenty of Christmas cheer in 2023. However, it’s sadly less exciting because of the near-constant grim headlines breaking this month. Besides deadly conflict unfolding between various nations, the entertainment industry also has a sudden influx in troubling sexual assault and harassment allegations coming out at this time. It all began with Cassie’s bombshell lawsuit against Diddy that the Bad Boy mogul quickly settled. In the weeks since, some prominent figures connected to Sean Combs are also being #MeToo’d, including Bishop T.D. Jakes.

Earlier this week, a TikToker (@jusnene) shared a video about the religious personality that went viral. In the clip, the content creator claims that Jakes was previously sexually active with numerous men at Diddy’s parties over the years. According to reports, the bishop is a “power bottom,” meaning he prefers to be in charge in the bedroom, but takes pleasure in being the receiver of sexual pleasure. These NSFW allegations are leaving many internet users shook, but not everyone is buying them.

“I can’t believe y’all believe that T.D. Jakes s**t,” rapper Lil Duval wrote early this morning (December 22). In response to this, someone on Twitter argued, “As many pastors as we see involved in sex scandals, it’s not out of the question… Y’all put these pastors on high pedestals.” Elsewhere, others sided with Duval. “You can get Black people to believe anything,” and “Exactly! We have been so conditioned and programmed to self-hate. It’s a shame!” are among popular comments under the OP.

Jakes and other prominent figures come out, it’s the perfect time to educate yourself on how these people rose to such heights of fame, and what they’re being accused of.
