After questions about her degrees went viral, Pastor Jamal Bryant apologized for giving Cheyenne Bryant a platform. On Saturday (July 25), he circled back to her, saying she attempted to send him a cease-and-desist order. Pastor Bryant said this will be his last time addressing Cheyenne. Instead, he’s turning his attention to displaced Howard University students.

Pastor Jamal Bryant Shares Interaction With Alleged Rep For Cheyenne Bryant
The pastor addressed his latest take on Cheyenne Bryant in a video shared on Instagram. He said that he had received a cease-and-desist that didn’t come from a lawyer, but from Bryant herself. When that happened, he stayed quiet about it.
“I said imma walk away, I don’t want to be part of Black on Black crime. I let it go,” he said.
Then, he recently received an email from Dr. Jaquel Pitts, who claimed to be the president of Indiana Southwest Christian University. Pastor Bryant said in his video that he couldn’t find any such university in that location. Also, he said Pitts defended Cheyenne Bryant’s Ph.D in “theocentric psychology,” but refused to send any transcripts.
What Sparked The “Dr. Cheyenne Bryant” Questions, Again?
As previously reported, Cheyenne Bryant and her certification history are once again a hot topic. She fanned the social media fumes after participating in the Netflix documentary trend earlier this week.
“When Netflix does a documentary on Dr. Cheyenne Bryant, Episode 1 will ask, ‘Is she really a doctor? Episodes 2-10 will investigate why complete jealous envious haters tried to prove she wasn’t,” her video said.
Controversy about her doctoral degree surfaced while on a press tour for her book, ‘Live Your Promise.’ An interview on The Breakfast Club where she spoke of her transcripts and experience sparked more questions about whether she was legit. Social media became obsessed with seeing proof of her doctoral degree and her dissertation. However, in May, she doubled down on ‘The Marissa Mitchell Show’ about refusing to show proof.

What’s Going On At Howard University?
In his video caption, Pastor Jamal Bryant centered the situation at Howard University. He wrote, “Now that we finished with that! Let’s deal with something way more important! The education of black children is in real danger! Run to @jamalbryantpodcast the Jamal Bryant podcast on YouTube and hear the entire discussion! 🤦🏾🙏🏾.”
Earlier this week, hundreds of students were unenrolled from the HBCU for the fall semester in connection with unresolved payment issues. Howard released a statement clarifying that students received multiple warnings in the five months leading up to being dropped. Still, social media has been flooded with commentary from impacted students, parents, Howard alums and more. Pastor Bryant was one of the first prominent figures to bring attention to the mass unrollment on social media.
