Rapper Plies Cooked On Twitter After Applauding Toxic Sermon By Pastor T.D. Jakes, ‘We Are Raising Up Women To Be Men’

Typically, rapper Plies is a hit on the internet with his free game and infectious energy– but the “Drip 4 Sale” emcee struck a nerve with the ladies after agreeing with the foolishness that Potter’s House Pastor T.D. Jakes spewed in a sermon from June.

Plies, born Algernod Lanier Washington, posted a clip of the sermon on July 19, cosigning the sh*tty message from Jakes saying that “we are raising up women to be men.”

“I Swea TD Jakes Can Sue Me But I’m Putting This On My Next Song!!!!! I Can’t Stop Listening To It!! I Just Think This Message Is So Deep,” Algernod wrote on Twitter.

Black Twitter quickly flamed the ashy post, the rapper and the Woman Thou Art Loosed actor.

 

In May 2021, Plies got cooked online for jumping into the bonnet debate. He expressed that Black women shouldn’t wear the protective head covering in public. 

“It Should Be A Law U Shouldn’t Be Able To Wear Bonnets No More Than 6 Feet Outside Your Residence. They Wearing These MTFers In The Airport Like They A Louis Vuitton Bucket Hat!!!!! Ain’t In Y’all Business Ladies I Just Thought They Was Suppose To Be To Slept In!!! 😂 .”

Jakes gave the sermon in question on Father’s Day at The Potter’s House in Dallas. The message titled “Real Men Pour In” told women that   when they lead, “it breaks the divine order.”

The 57 minutes of  bullsh*t seemingly blamed women for the state of the world.    

“Real men pour in,” Jakes said. “If Adam had not allowed Eve to pour into him, sin would have never come into the world. Sin came into the world because Adam broke the order. We were not designed to receive from women. Your self-esteem is compromised when you have to ask your wife for lunch money. 

“And Adam, all of a sudden, has allowed the curse to come because he stopped pouring,” he added.

Resigning women to idiots that could not function without the guidance of men.

The ashy pastor also advised women to “be careful about pouring too much into us” because “we are designed to pour into you, and you are designed to take what we pour into you and increase it and make it better.”

He continued saying that women supporting men has essentially jacked up the flow of the world.

“This breaks all the sociological order of the culture we are living in now because we are raising women to be men. And you are not applauded for your femininity. You are applauded in the contemporary society by how tough, rough, nasty, mean, aggressive, hateful, possessive you are. And you’re climbing the corporate ladder, but we are losing our families,” Jakes said to a cheering audience.

“I know you can buy your own car; I know you can buy your own house, but until you create a need that I can pour into, I have no place in your life. So stop coming home bragging to me about how much you don’t need me and wonder why I shy away.” 

“The conversation has become, ‘Let’s prove to the men how dispensable they are.’ And it is born out of pain ‘cause we hurt you, and betrayed you, and lied to you and cheated to you, and you came like you became out of pain. But watch what is born out of pain,” Jakes continued.

Jakes also told men that they should be more than financial providers. Ultimately, that should have been the moral of the sermon without piling dumb sh*t on top of Black women. But alas, it’s easier to dump foolishness on sisters rather than hold men accountable.
