Black church culture has always blurred the line between faith and being performative, and who would be better than bringing the uncomfortable truths to light than comedian Druski? The 31-year-old is back with another viral moment, but this time he’s making the Black church the butt of his jokes.

Drew Desbordes, best known as Druski, gained his social media popularity for his comical skits and his satirical record label, Coulda Been Records. Over the years, he expanded beyond social media, collaborating with major artists such as Drake and Jack Harlow. Whether parodying talent searches or being a MAGA hillbilly, Druski has built a reputation for pushing cultural buttons– and his latest skit is no exception.
In the now viral video, Druski targets the spectacle of some megachurch pastors and their suspected manipulation of faith for personal gain. And many viewers believe it is spot on.
The video opens up with a caption saying, “Why did I come to this church?” as Druski is suspended in midair while Kirk Franklin’s 1998 hit song “Revolution” plays in the background. This video sets the audience up for another hilarious skit while also directly referencing Mississippi pastor Bartholomew Orr, known as “The Flying Pastor,” who flies over his congregation during services.
“I’m going to have Wanda stand up here,” he says, pointing to an elderly woman sitting near the front of the congregation. “Wanda told us earlier this month that she cannot have a baby anymore, so I impregnated her with the Word of God. I’m going to impregnate everyone with the Word of God!” Druski, please!
The sketch antics continue with Druski shouting and even breaking out into the “worm” dance. And to make this moment even funnier, he discusses his designer outfit while hanging in midair. “I had someone in the congregation ask why I’m wearing Christian Dior and Christian Louboutins,” he said. “Because I’m a Christian and I walk in the blood of Jesus.”
Fans immediately noticed the correlations to Brooklyn’s now-disgraced pastor Lamor Miller-Whitehead, also known as the “Bling Bishop,” who was recently sentenced to prison for using fraud to fund his designer habit.
The service continues as Druski announces that the church is raising $4 million for a project in Zimbabwe, then directs the congregation not to leave without donating. Mmh, sounds like a parallel to the scrutiny Pastor Marvin Sapp faced when he directed the church to close its doors during the offering, we previously reported.
In a follow-up scene, Druski counts the cash with a huge grin on his face. And what he did after service took everyone out; he told a member to back away from his car because they hadn’t contributed to tithes and offerings.
Social media has been at odds since the video’s release. Some people were outraged, calling it a mockery of God.
“You don’t make jokes about God,” one X user posted.” It shows just how disrespectful and ungrateful you are.”
Another followed up: “Mocking God through megachurch jokes might get a quick laugh, but it misses something deeper.”
Others, however, believe this wasn’t a mockery but an exposure of false prophets.
One Threads user posted, “DRUSKI is not ‘playing with God’. He is mimicking MAN. God is not being mocked. Man is being ridiculed. He’s showing church CULTure. Not ridiculing spirituality.” (Creflo Dollar took back his previous teachings on tithing in 2022 sermons, stating they were incorrect and not required for New Testament believers.)
Another followed up, “I’ll never forget when Leroy and Creflo told people to bring their money to the pulpit for blessings, and they started walking and dancing on the money. This is exactly how most of the pastors of megachurches act. Druski isn’t wrong!”
And a third, “The reality of it is… Druski did nothing outside of the norm when it comes to black comedy. Y’all just needed a reason to be outraged this week.”
Druski did exactly what he needed to do to get us talking about Black church culture.
