Pastor And Gospel Singer Deitrick Haddon Claps Back At Critics After Viral Video Of His Wife Twerking On Him
Pastor and gospel artist Deitrick Haddon is responding to the negative comments he received after a clip of himself and his wife, Dominique Mctyer, dancing together on his 50th birthday went viral.
In the clip, Mctyer is seen bending over and twerking on her husband. The “Love Him Like I Do” singer posted the video to his Instagram with a caption hyping up his wife: “This is how you turn 50. You gotta get a good twerk from your wife! Oh yeeeeeeah! This was her at the party so you can imagine my personal after party!! Every great man of God needs a wife that can pray and play!! Amen #cub50 #HappyBirthdayDeitrickHaddon.”
Ever since the video has been swirling around social media, people have expressed their opinions on what a “man of the cloth” should do, especially those within the Christian community.
The Atlanta Black Star was able to report some of the comments before Haddon turned them off. “What happened to moderation? What happened to modesty ? If this were Jesus,would he have done something like this? The bible says we should not judge but it also says we are the light and salt of the earth. This isn’t a good example sir and ma,this isn’t right.”
Haddon has since responded to the trolls that had a problem with his wife of 10 years throwing it back on her man. He let his critics know that they can “celebrate differences without demonizing.”
“The next level for the church is to learn to disagree without disrespect,” part of his response read. “Some approve with me dancing in public with my wife, and others don’t and that’s ok. In the words of the Stylistics, ‘People make the world go ’round.'”
He continued, “It would be so dope if we could celebrate our differences instead of demonizing everyone that doesn’t think like you. I still love ya, and there’s nothing you can do about it!”
