Overview
- In a Sunday sermon, Transformation Church pastor Mike Todd called Druski’s video “hilarious” but framed the frenzy around it as an attack on Christians’ focus and a “weapon of mass distraction.”
- Todd denied being the skit’s target, said he does not own a Rolls-Royce, and asserted that a widely shared image tying his likeness to the parody outfit was generated by AI.
- The clip, posted Jan. 13, has drawn massive engagement across platforms, with Religion News Service citing 46.6 million TikTok views and The Source reporting totals surpassing 91 million.
- Druski’s parody echoes real flashpoints, from a 2018 “flying preacher” entrance to fundraising controversies and debates over pastors’ luxury cars, to underscore its critique of wealth and spectacle.
- Reaction remains split, with figures like Lecrae urging the church to treat the skit as a mirror for needed reform and some online commenters faulting Todd for an overly defensive response.
