Internet comedian Druski’s prosperity preacher skit mocks pastors who preach the gospel of greed inside massive megachurches.
Druski uploaded the skit to Instagram and X (Twitter) on Tuesday along with the caption: “Mega Church Pastors LOVE Money.”
The comedy skit was viewed over 63 million times across both platforms and drew laughter and praise from his followers. But church folks are displeased by his portrayal of megachurch preachers.
“I Walk in the Blood of Jesus!”
In the skit, Druski, 30, wears a Christian Dior jacket and Christian Louboutin dress shoes as he hangs in the air suspended from a harness.
“I had somebody in the congregation ask why I’m wearing Christian Dior and Christian Louboutins,” he says before raising his feet to expose the red soles of his expensive shoes. “Cause I’m a Christian, and I walk in the blood of Jesus! I’m a Christian first! Give Him some praise!”
Druski tells his congregation that he needs $4 million to build a church over in Africa.
“Hallelujah! That needs to appear today! We are not letting anyone leave until we reach our goal. Amen? Hallelujah!” he says as parishioners come forward to give him their life’s savings.
Druski doesn’t explain which preacher he’s imitating, but it isn’t hard to guess.
In another scene, Druski’s staff escorts an elderly parishioner named Wanda to the stage.
“Wanda told us earlier this month that she could not have a baby anymore,” Druski explains. “So I impregnated her with the Word of God. I’m going to impregnate everyone with the Word of God! You gon’ get pregnant with the Word of God! You gon’ get pregnant with the Word of God!”
In another scene, Druski uses a machine to count the stacks of cash he collected from his parishioners after locking the doors of the church.
In the final scene, a man approaches Druski’s Rolls Royce and begs him to pray for his wife. “Get your hands off my car,” Druski tells him before asking the man if he gave tithes and offerings.
The skit drew mixed reactions online. One person wrote on Instagram: “Oh this finna RUFFLE some feathers.”
Another user wrote: “I see that a lot of people are upset, but let’s think about it. Druski is an actor and a comedian. He’s portraying something he’s either seen or heard about… This doesn’t represent all churches, but at the same time, we shouldn’t ignore the fact that there are churches and pastors living this way. Instead of just being mad, let’s focus on fixing what actually needs to be fixed.”
