Deitrick is sha interesting o...I think he has the most scandalous record. Now it's his reality show "Preachers of LA" that's the ish...Deitrick Haddon is speaking out against Pastors taking to their
pulpits to preach against his controversial Oxygen network docu-series
"Preachers of L.A."
Haddon, the minister and gospel singer, took
to his Twitter account to speak out against preachers who may speak
negatively about his show. See tweets after the cut...
"If your pastor's message is all about
#PreachersofLA this sunday I recommend that you find another church,"
Haddon tweeted. "Preach the word & that's all! lol"
Still, he was open to criticism about his comment. One person did not seem to agree with his tweets and challenged his opinion.
"@DeitrickHaddon That's NOT a reason to go to another church if that's where GOD placed for that season," the person tweeted.
Haddon did not debate the individual and simply responded by tweeting, "Amen."
The
gospel singer's comment comes after a number of pastors including the
Rev. James C. Perkins, the pastor of Greater Christ Baptist Church in
Detroit, Mich., spoke out against the show to BET.com.
"I don't
think the show represents the best of the Black church tradition,"
Perkins told BET. "The downside is that people often paint all pastors
with a broad brush and, after watching this show, they may well begin to
associate all pastors with those behaviors.There are many pastors who
are out here serving the people and not just serving themselves."
Haddon,40, previously revealed why he decided to take part in the controversial reality television series.
"Because
I cannot pass up the opportunity to share the gospel with 100 million
homes on a weekly basis for eight weeks. People are interested in our
culture and gospel music in the church, but everybody's afraid to share
the truth about who we are and what we do," Haddon told S2S magazine
recently. "And I think the next dimension of winning souls-or just
sharing the gospel-is just being transparent. It's not being fake and
phony and up on the pulpit preaching to everybody else but not sharing
who you really are or your flaws."
