TD Jakes has once again spoken out about the rumors circulating online that he participated in several freak-offs with Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In an interview with John Hope Bryant, he said that he was targeted by tens of thousands of AI bots.
“When the [rumors] first broke out, it was 44,000 bots that were released on me,” Jakes said.
The pastor said that after he launched an investigation into the online hate, he discovered “that 98% of them were all artificial intelligence-generated.”

“The other thing that it really proved to me, to Oprah, to Denzel, to all the people, is that it’s everybody. It goes along with the turf. We have got to stop getting our information from TikTok,” he continued.
Jakes flat-out confirmed that he was not on only of the tapes confiscated by the FBI.
“If there were anything there, the FBI would have been in it … It’s like when I had my health scare—within seconds, it was all over the world, you wouldn’t have to find it on Instagram, you wouldn’t have to find it on YouTube. You would find it on the 6 o’clock news.”
