Actor and stand-up comedian D.L. Hughley responded to Pastor Lamor Whitehead’s challenge to a boxing match.
In the comment section of a Shade Room Instagram post, Hughley learned that a call-out was issued for him to fight the bishop and responded on August 18. Playing off Whitehead’s pastor status, Hughley wrote, “Dis [ninja emoji] spitting!! Nahhh, for real, like HE SPITTIN’ ALL OVER THE SCREEN.”
He continued. “Ol’ Sufferin Succotash headaah…What ‘Pastor’ you know can ‘PUT UP A MILLION DOLLARS RIGHT NOW??’ Reading from the book of Scamalations #bewareoffalseprophets.”
Whitehead quickly responded under the comment, “DL, [You’re] a PUNK! You picked The Wrong Pastor To Try And Walk Over! DL Let’s Work It Out In The Ring! All I Need Is One Round!”
The comment section throwdown comes after Whitehead posted a 20-minute video asking Hughley to step into the ring with him.
“We need D.L. Little Man Hughley. We need to hear what he got’s to say since he needs ratings, right?” Whitehead said. “At the end of the day, he needs ratings, y’all, so D.L. Little Man Hughley, I challenge you in the boxing ring. Right? Tough guy? I don’t wanna hear you don’t box because your mouth is big. Let’s get in the ring. I’m not gonna hurt you. I’m gonna knock you out in the name of Jesus, I promise you. I’m gonna knock you out…let’s set it up. I’ll put up a million. Me and my team will put up a million dollars right now.”
The Bishop has frequented the news lately after the Brooklyn man, known for wearing expensive jewelry and flashy clothes, was allegedly robbed in his church by a group of armed gunmen on video. It was reported that the assailants stole around $1,000,000 in valuables.
