The comment from his fan wasn't the first time Jakes was made fun of for wearing denim. According to BET in 2015, the bishop clapped back at a troll for mocking him after he was pictured wearing ripped jeans.

In his comment, the troll said Jakes was too old for ripped jeans and argued that he should set a better example for his church. In his response, Jake wittingly asked the commenter to point the scripture that mentions jeans and the pulpit."

In 2018, one of Jakes' looks went viral when he sported a Versace polo shirt during one of his Sunday services. It is reported, fans reacted to the look and mocked the bishop for his unique choice for the event.

Charlemagne Tha God from the "Breakfast Club" reposted the photo and jokingly dubbed him, "Bishop 'The Drip' Jakes" for the stylish look.
