The P Diddy controversy and lawsuit is getting as complex as ever with each new update as more and more people get embroiled in the mysterious allegations against the now-disgraced rap mogul. For one, among the most recent ones dragged in this fire is none other than TD Jakes, the 67-year-old senior pastor of the non-denominational megachurch ‘The Potter’s House’.
A little while ago, bishop Jakes got under fire after one of the lawsuits against Sean Combs, featuring the clip where Combs was seen ostensibly assaulting his now-ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, alleged him of helping the rapper out. But tragedy struck worse when the pastor recently got a health scare mid-sermon, though his church is brushing it off as a mereslight health incident.
Bishop TD Jakes Was Met With a Health Scare Mid-Sermon Recently
Bishop TD Jakes delivered a sermon in his church on Sunday, telling both his live audience and the ones streaming the service live that he loves them before proceeding to talk about going to visit someone in the hospital who ends up encouraging the visitor. But while he was in the midst of one of his powerful declarations, the unexpected happened: He fell limp.
In the now-deleted clip on YouTube, the pastor was seen saying, “Oh Lord, my strength, my redeemer, let them go in peace,” moments before he dropped his microphone and fell silent (viaPage Six). As he sat there in front of everyone, Jakes suddenly began shaking involuntarily in his seat before people around him rushed forward to offer him help and support.
Initially, everything seemed okay even when the bishop fell silent after speaking quietly and wiping off sweat from his brow (perTMZ). But then the livestream video was cut off and people were reportedly heard saying “back up” and “give him some space.” Soon after, a voice off-camera addressed the live and streaming attendees and asked them to “begin to pray.”

While netizens have since been speculating that it may have been a stroke that the bishop was struck with during his Sunday service at The Potter’s House Church in Dallas (viaX), the real cause of the motivational speaker’s health scare is yet to be officially disclosed by the church. Additionally, what’s further resurfacing amidst this is his alleged connection withP Diddy.
Previously, Jakes made headlines when he was reportedly mentioned in a lawsuit against Combs. PerThe Statesman, the lawsuit, filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, stated that Jones has “irrefutable evidence” of “Mr. Combs detailing how he planned to leverage his relationship with Bishop T.D. Jakes to soften the impact on his public image of Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit.”
For those who may be unversed,Diddy’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend Cassie Venturahas been one of the hottest topics of debate ever since allegations from her came forward about him reportedly leading an abusive relationship with her. Plus, there was the video clip released exclusively byCNNthat saw the record producer publicly assaulting Ventura.
That said, the bishop’s mere mention in the lawsuit, which didn’t even name him as a defendant, painted him in the wrong light, even thoughHotNewHipHopreports that he was quick to refute all these claims and allegations against him. But now this health scare has taken place with TD Jakes, and things couldn’t get weirder about this confounding situation.
The Potter’s House Has Released a Public Update on the Bishop’s Health
After much speculation from fans and netizens worldwide, the non-denominational megachurch ‘The Potter’s House’ in Dallas has finally released a public statement to calm the audience’s conscience down. Shared on bishop TD Jakes official X handle@BishopJakeson August 08, 2025, the statement reads:
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.
While this statement has made some of the chitter-chatter around the situation die down, the original reason behind thisslight health incidentand what actually happened is yet to be revealed by the church. Either way, we extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the Potter’s House megachurch senior pastor and his family and hope TD Jakes recovers quickly and wholly soon.
