Bishop T.D. Jakes is setting the record straight on rumors claiming he attended wild parties—labeled “freak-offs”—allegedly hosted by embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
During an appearance on Money and Wealth, a podcast hosted by entrepreneur John Hope Bryant, Jakes addressed the viral claims head-on, blaming the spread of misinformation on artificial intelligence and bot activity. Jakes also dismissed any ties to Diddy’s ongoing legal troubles, which include federal allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering. The bishop’s comments come after AI-generated images of him and Oprah Winfrey with Diddy circulated online. Both Jakes and Oprah addressed the manipulated content during his annual Good Soil Forum in Dallas.
