“Let’s Talk About”
When Druski dropped his “Mega Church Pastors Love Money” skit, the internet didn’t just laugh—it erupted. Forty‑three million views in a single day. Memes everywhere. Debates everywhere. And a whole lot of people suddenly feeling very uncomfortable.
It Was Funny — But It Was Familiar
The skit wasn’t random.
It wasn’t an attack on God.
It wasn’t disrespect for the sake of disrespect.
It was satire rooted in reality.
Druski exaggerated the theatrics—the pastor descending from the ceiling, the designer outfits, the dramatic “miracles,” the million‑dollar fundraising for a vague mission trip. But the reason people laughed is because some of us have seen versions of this in real life.
Not all churches.
Not all pastors.
But enough for the joke to land.
The Intent Was Clear
Reporting made it clear: Druski created the skit as a response to hypocrisy and exploitation in certain megachurch spaces. He wanted to highlight the disconnect between:
- Lavish lifestyles
- And the spiritual messages being preached
That’s why the skit sparked such a strong reaction—it wasn’t just comedy.
It was commentary.
Even Lecrae Spoke On It
When someone like Lecrae—respected in both faith and culture—says the skit was funny because it’s true, that tells you everything.
People aren’t mad at the joke.
They’re mad at the mirror.
Why the Backlash Was So Loud
Whenever truth gets exposed, two groups show up:
- Those who feel exposed
- Those who feel seen
The exposed get defensive.
The seen feel relieved.
That’s why the comments are split between:
“Black churches don’t do this.”
and
“Actually… some do.”
Both can be true.
This Isn’t About Tearing Down the Church
The Black church has been a place of healing, community, and survival for generations. It deserves honor.
But honoring something doesn’t mean ignoring the parts that need accountability.
Calling out manipulation is not an attack on God.
Calling out theatrics is not an attack on faith.
Calling out exploitation is not an attack on the church.
It’s protection.
Imagine Church & Accountability Sitting in the Same Room
Not as enemies.
Not as threats.
But as partners.
Imagine a church where leaders serve before they shine.
Where transparency is normal, not optional.
Where the stage is a tool, not a throne.
Where people are protected, not performed for.
Imagine a church where truth and love walk together again.
That’s the vision.
That’s the hope.
That’s the conversation this skit accidentally opened.
Let’s Be Real
I didn’t watch the skit and get offended.
I watched it and said, “This is a real issue—and that’s why it’s trending.”
If we can laugh, we can learn.
If we can be entertained, we can be honest.
If we can call out the problem, we can protect the people.
The goal isn’t to tear down the church.
The goal is to keep it sacred—not staged.
