Internet is in an uproar over a TikToker’s scandalous claims. One lone online woman has claimed something so shocking about TD Jakes and Diddy that no one can believe it.
Additionally, Cassie Ventura and Kim Porter have been named in these allegations as well. So, what is actually going on?
On December 21, a TikTok video by MYEi$HiA claimed that Cassie Ventura had given the FBI evidence against Diddy, including party tapes and a burner phone linked to his ex, the late Kim Porter. MYEi$HiA also implicated Pastor TD Jakes, who officiated Kim Porter’s burial. These allegations come amidst four assault lawsuits against Diddy and TD Jakes, one accusing Diddy and two others of gang r*pe when the victim was 17. Diddy vehemently denies these claims.
Who Is TD Jakes? Why Is He Trending?
TD Jakes, the renowned founder of The Potter House, a non-denominational multicultural church and humanitarian organization based in Dallas, has held the spotlight as arguably the most prominent Christian preacher in the United States.
His influence transcends the pulpit, often extending into the realm of celebrity culture, where he hobnobs with figures like Diddy, the renowned hip-hop mogul.
Jakes’ impact on the world of faith and spirituality has not gone unnoticed.
Time Magazine bestowed upon him the title of “America’s Best Preacher,” and The New York Times hailed him as “One of the Nation’s Most Influential & Mesmerizing Preachers.”
His charismatic presence has even attracted the attention and admiration of Diddy, who credits Jakes for helping him navigate through a dark period in his life.
In a surprising collaboration in 2021, Diddy and TD Jakes joined forces to bring Jakes’ exclusive sermon series to REVOLT TV, a leading Black-owned multimedia platform, showcasing the enduring bond between the preacher and the hip-hop icon.
However, TD Jakes found himself amid controversy on December 21, 2023, when a TikToker made shocking claims regarding the Christian preacher, thrusting him into the internet’s trending topics.
Amidst this controversy, Diddy’s close friendship with TD Jakes has also faced scrutiny.
The hip-hop mogul has been sued by multiple women, alleging sexual misconduct by him and his associates.
While these allegations have not touched Jakes directly and remain unsubstantiated, it’s not the first time the Bishop has been embroiled in controversy.
In 2009, his son, Jermaine Jakes, was arrested for alleged indecent exposure and indecent actions in a Dallas park.
Explained: Cassie, Diddy, and Kim Porter’s Connection
On December 21, a TikTok video by MYEi$HiA surfaced alleging that R&B singer Cassie Ventura had handed over evidence to the FBI incriminating Diddy, her former partner of a decade.
This shocking revelation comes a month after Ventura filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of heinous acts of violence during their ten-year relationship.
Initially, Ventura had filed the lawsuit on November 16, accusing Diddy of r*pe, sex trafficking, and physical abuse. But she settled one day after filing.
While the settlement terms between the two parties remain undisclosed, Diddy’s representatives had previously denied the claims. They alleged that Ventura had demanded a hefty $30 million, threatening to expose their relationship.
In contrast, Ventura’s representatives claimed that Diddy, with a net worth of $1 billion, had offered her a substantial sum in the “eight figures” to dissuade her from pursuing the lawsuit.
In a prepared email statement cited by CNBC, Ventura expressed her desire to resolve the matter amicably, asserting some level of control over the situation.
Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, released a statement in the same email, expressing a similar sentiment:
“We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best.”
The settlement agreement came after the New York police confirmed that no investigations had been initiated into the allegations against the rapper.
However, TikToker MYEi$HiA claimed that later Ventura had indeed submitted additional evidence to the FBI.
This includes tapes of Diddy’s parties and a burner phone that allegedly belonged to Kim Porter, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend who passed away in 2018.
MYEi$HiA also alleged that an email incriminated Diddy’s close friend, Pastor TD Jakes, who had officiated Kim Porter’s burial.
In a clip shared by the TikToker, an unidentified man claimed that Cassie had turned over tapes depicting Diddy’s alleged depraved parties, implicating multiple prominent individuals, including TD Jakes, in questionable activities.
It’s crucial to emphasize that these claims are unsubstantiated allegations made on social media. Nevertheless, the allegations ignited a firestorm on various social media platforms, leading to TD Jakes trending online.
These latest allegations against Diddy and TD Jakes have emerged amid four lawsuits filed against the hip-hop mogul by four different women, all alleging assault.
One of the lawsuits even alleges that Diddy and two associates gang-r*ped a woman when she was just 17 years old. Diddy has vehemently denied these allegations.
Despite the controversy surrounding him, Diddy returned to social media on December 15 to pay tribute to his late ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter, further highlighting the complex and contentious nature of his personal life and public image.
What do you think about the validity of these allegations? Do you believe these allegations are true? Will an investigation be opened into them?
