Comedian and internet personality Druski has once again found himself at the centre of a heated online conversation, this time after releasing a skit that parodies the excesses of modern mega-church culture.
The video, which has spread rapidly across social media, leans heavily into visual spectacle and satire. It opens with Druski descending dramatically above a packed church sanctuary, surrounded by smoke effects and theatrical lighting, while Kirk Franklin’s Revolution plays in the background. From the outset, the skit signals that it is less about subtle humour and more about holding a distorted mirror up to familiar scenes.

A luxury sermon with a sharp edge
Once behind the pulpit, Druski delivers an over-the-top performance, complete with shouting, sweating and carefully timed pauses designed to draw applause from the congregation. Behind him, a large screen flashes the words “Collect and Pray”, a phrase that sets the tone for the satire and hints at the underlying criticism of faith being entangled with wealth.
The skit escalates when Druski calls an elderly couple to the front, claiming they are struggling to conceive. He then delivers a line that immediately split audiences: “So I impregnated her with the word of God.” For some viewers, this moment marked the point where the parody crossed into deeply uncomfortable territory.
Designer labels in the pulpit
Druski continues by breaking down his outfit in detail, naming luxury brands as if attending a fashion event rather than leading a church service. He jokes about wearing Christian Dior and Christian Louboutin shoes, adding that he wears them because he is a Christian who “walks in the blood of Jesus”.
The humour, while exaggerated, clearly targets the growing criticism of pastors and church leaders who live visibly lavish lifestyles while preaching humility and sacrifice.
The offering scene that struck a nerve
One of the most talked-about moments comes during the offering segment. Druski demands the equivalent of about R74 million for a congregation in Zimbabwe, insisting the money must be raised on the same day and that no one will be allowed to leave until the target is reached.
A congregant is publicly praised for donating his entire life savings, a scene that many viewers found uncomfortably close to real-world examples. The skit ends with Druski backstage, counting the money he has collected and singing along to a gospel song, underlining the contrast between public piety and private profit.
Online reaction: truth or disrespect?
Reaction to the skit has been deeply divided. Some viewers accused Druski of disrespecting the church and faith itself, arguing that religious institutions should not be treated as a punchline.
Others defended the comedian, saying the satire resonated precisely because it reflects real issues within certain churches. Several commenters argued that the skit highlighted how some religious leaders accumulate wealth while many congregants struggle financially.
One blunt response summed up the mood of supporters, suggesting that those most offended may recognise uncomfortable similarities between the parody and real-life practices.
A conversation that goes beyond comedy
While Druski has not issued a detailed statement about the skit, the reaction suggests the video has tapped into broader frustrations about accountability, transparency and money in religious spaces. Whether viewed as offensive or revealing, the skit has succeeded in reigniting a long-running conversation about where faith ends and financial exploitation may begin.
