Its crazy how women take down titans , all throughout the bible man smh its real

[@jenn5773]

Love K Allico!! But what that reminds me of is Achan in the book of Joshua. Achan was in sin and it didnt just effect him, it affected the whole nation of Israel and 36 men died. And it was Gods way of keeping the nation of Israel clean and undefiled by taking Achan out. I think GOM can see it as Thank You God that we are set apart for you and you are keeping us safe from defilement because You are using us for Your glory. I think it is awesome that God called Allico out and Allico responded to the Lord. God will lift the humbled and tear down the exalted, so Allico i believe God is using now thru this, and will give him a platform again as he seeks to obey his Lord. God bless you Wade-O

Knew that chick cheated smh. I had a homie that went thru the same thing with his then wife. He was on fire for the Lord, & she wasn't with it. Stepped out on him & ppl thought he was the problem. Smh a lot of females don't get exposed about their infidelity enough. It isn't ALWAYS the man people! Great interview by Datin. One of the many reasons why I dig him as an artist.

[@AT-ts1se]

Facts

[@valerieh.1624]

That's so true. There are many females; Not ready. For a Man of GOD. It's Not always the Man. Females & males are wrapped in the world. There Are Many GODLY Men out there. Praise GOD that HE is The ALMIGHTY... HALLELUJAH

[@iwcb8413]

People seem to forget we still sin and are capable of such. For some reason tho they blame the man. Maybe it's because that's what our culture pumps into our minds? That women are low-key not capable of cheating and have some type of innocence to them?

[@andremac6459]

EVERYTHING this man says about his divorce is what i am going through...EVERYTHING...this spoke to me on a million different levels...bless God for you brother

[@shawnydaze280]

Shout out to Datin! This dude puts his neck out there for the culture. Bless up!

[@jerrysimonjr34]

Unfortunately when divorces happen or a relationship ends, the man is normally assumed to be the reason for it ending. This is a good case of why it's not wise to assume. God bless Datin, his family, and his ministry.

[@bernardjackson4974]

thank you!!!!!

[@valerieh.1624]

Yes Indeed!! There's an old saying: assuming makes a butt out of you & a butt out of me. You know the real word used instead of butt.. Stay Blessed🙏💜

Blessings to both Wade-O and Datin for their sincerity and transparency about not only their faith but about sensitive topics.

[@AnthoneRay]

I appreciate Datin being transparent about his situation. Even through this unfortunate situation, it’s encouraging to me that he’s keeping the faith. Great interview Wade-O!

[@jakepokemonman1227]

Datin, so much respect to you bro. I'm 17 you give me an example how I should live my life. Not many good examples in this world. I know you not perfect but you handled yourself 100%. Thanks bro. Always listen to your music.

I know for a fact that this testimony is going to TRANSFORM people's lives.

[@eboniarmstrong4401]

Grateful for Datin’s transparency. Continue to shine your light, bro! Wade-O, awesome interview! I love the maturity in this interview. I recall ending a courtship because there was no peace. I would plead with God in prayer to give me peace. There was no sexual sin, I enjoyed this individual, etc. But, for whatever reason, God said no. As believers, I pray that we rejoice in God’s no just as much as we rejoice when He says yes to the desires of our hearts. Rejoice in His no. Again, awesome interview! Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelashcraft8677]

“Divorced single ready to mingle.” LOL I’m glad you’re using some humor in your trial. Do you think we could say, “Datin is back to datin’?” All right, all right, I’m sorry for the inappropriate pun...

There were so many truths in this that I really needed to hear. I appreciate Darin being real and having the courage to share. This is real ministry.

[@mmambokatsande2005]

This is no doubt one of the best interviews I've EVER watched. Wade-O, I'm pretty sure you are well aware of the good your position does for the (hip hop) Christian community as it must definitely be Christ-ordained, so mine is just to say may our Father continue to bless and prosper you. Datin my brother, you are such a fantastic role model. God has really done such a beautiful work in your life and I can only imagine He will continue to do so. A Spirit-filled entertainer, a good man, your life and ministry will do wonders in the Kingdom. In the name of Jesus may you continue to be lifted up; may you be blessed and prosperous in all of your endeavors. Thank you for your honesty, your transparency and your testimony. We are looking forward to your project and will be supporting you. Bless my brother.

[@benswolfpack2855]

Datin I feel you. I just finalized my divorce as well. It's weird how so many of us as men of God are going through this. Our focus is being called into centering upon God in these last days and The Lord is allowing what others may not understand. I love you bro. You and your work speaks to me and I pass it on so be encouraged bruh.

[@conzuelusstrozier5358]

DJ Wade I think you are awesome and amazing. You keep your interviews open and real. Thank you... There was a lot covered in this interview. I feel like I got to know Datin a little better because he's so real. That's important for any CHH artist. I was divorced back in 2011 and I was not hurt by the divorce. My marriage was pure hell and what I experience with my ex wouldn't seem real to most folks if I told the whole story. One day I will. But, the struggle with temptation after divorce was real. I had folks telling me what I should do but I made a lot of mistakes yielding to the flesh. If I had this word at that time it would have helped me tremendously. I know once the flesh makes up it's mind to sin, it's gonna do what's in the heart so I make no excuses. The reality of "Hell in the Hallway" is that the ministry will proactively help married and single folks if they let the words minister to their hearts. Thanks again Datin. ~ZayinLove~

[@janetmcdonald2804]

May God firmly establish Wade-O and Datin! Thank you brotha for this interview. Thank you both for being men of God, (emphasis on "of God"). Datin, I want to express my support to you regarding this time in your life. The dissolution of a relationship is never easy. I live in NC and we just experienced Hurricane Florence. I believe that when a relationship breaks up, it's like a life hurricane. Everything gets torn up, flooded and then you're left reeling and tasked with rebuilding from the rubble. And, amen that your relationship with God has been all the more deepened through this. Keep pushing. And thank you for being willing to be so open about your situation. It will bless many others. With regard to you addressing people saying CHH is dead, thank you! I am 42years old and grew up listening to Hip Hop before I came to know Christ. Afterwards, I missed bass laden beats and the mind boggling wordplay. CHH has given me back my love and I am so grateful. I saw you, Sevin, Faith Pettis, and Dear Society in August of 2016. It was my first CHH concert and it was dope! CHH is most certainly alive, as you've stated, just like the Savior that it proclaims. Keep doing what you're doing! Peace and love!

[@frequentbeatz6809]

I appreciate this interview, I was concerts and dropping Gospel rap 25 years ago when you would get kicked out of churches if your lyrics were not based on the gospel, they would unplug the mic if you brought secular influence into the body. If the Holy Spirit is not your influence, then what spirit is? The Gospel is the message, without the gospel, it's just your "message" without power, our message can't save anybody, but his can. Hey, to each's own, Shalom.

[@benswolfpack2855]

Hey Datin man keep doing what you're doing. Your music and that of God over money has been such an inspiration to me. I grew up as an old head listening to NWA Eazy-E Ice Cube and all that. Not that I'm dissing on them because I felt like and still feel like they have or had great skill. I say had with regards to my man easy with all respect to his passing. I feel the Hip Hop has had an amazing impact on people and it is obvious it is very influential. Regardless if you've ever lived in a hood or not everybody has had struggles. Hip Hop's Central Focus for many years was based upon that struggle. The good thing about c h h is that the struggles are still recognized but the solution is being presented. I came to Christ many years ago because of the influence of those around me. Had I had access to Christian hip-hop in my youth I might have made better decisions during that time. The thing is though I think that it was restrained from me so that I might have the testimony I have today. Enough said brother God bless you and all that you're doing keep the faith and may God over money always be blessed for the people groups and cultures that they're reaching. Peace

I was once in a relationship with a "Christian" girl when i first got converted. She seduced me to sin against God and I was really into her. I wanted to marry her too to make things right but i praise God that He tore that relationship up. When I saw that this brother was divorced, I asked myself how could it be when he was a Christian when he got married but after listening to his story, it could have easily been me. Young brothers and sisters in the faith please SLOW DOWN! Get to know the Lord first and get good godly wisdom around you or you will literally ruin your lives.

[@MrWb11]

I don’t understand why they want unity within Christian hip hop. Those that don’t want to be part of the chh and are embarrassed are not real Christians PERIOD!! They should never be ashamed of the gospel and their music should be to glorify the king and only him these fake Christian rappers that don’t want to rep chh are embarrassed and if you listen to their music you barely hear anything that glorifies king JESUS. You are either a sheep or a goat nothing else. Love you bro!

[@wadeoradio]

Just because you don't want to be labeled a Christian Rapper doesn't mean you aren't a Christian. That's very unfair to link the to. Not desiring to be labeled a Christian Rapper also doesn't mean you are unashamed of the gospel or afraid to share it. Lots of different approaches on the spectrum.

[@Miranda9Bella]

Natural hindsight is always 20/20..but yessss, Our Eternal God FORSEES EVERYTHING..and His foresight always has our protection included..I felt the Holy Spirit the whole time he was sharing his testimony..God is about to elevate him in this next season of life, He couldn't do it "before" now because he was not in alignment with the will of God, but now he is..I pray his gift go before him to bring him before great men..much respect for the sincerity, openness, and courage👌
