US EditionPastor John Gray Calls Druski’s Viral Megachurch Skit ‘Hilarious’
Pastor Michael Todd calls Druski's viral skit with over 46 million views a distraction from spiritual focus during his Jan. 18 sermon at Transformation Church.
- On Jan. 13, Druski posted a minute-long skit filmed in a real church that went viral this past week on TikTok and Instagram, set in the fictional Collect and Praise Ministries.
- Referencing real events, the parody draws on a 2018 'flying preacher' clip, a pastor’s $230,000 Bentley incident, and Marvin Sapp’s July 2024 $40,000 fundraising target, echoing past controversies.
- Onstage, the parody features Druski in Christian Dior and flashing Christian Louboutin soles while theatrically appealing for funds to plant a church in Zimbabwe, warning 'we're not letting anyone leave' until goals are met, echoing earlier viral clips denounced last year.
- In the days after the clip, religious leaders, including Michael Todd, lead pastor of Transformation Church , called the skit 'hilarious' but a 'weapon of mass distraction,' while AI-generated images linked Todd to the outfit, which he said were fabricated.
- The episode has prompted broader debate about pastor pay, stewardship, and attire among Black Christian communities, with Lecrae defending the skit and leaders warning of disrupted focus and social media conflicts.
