Druski didn’t let one minute go to waste during the BET Awards.
On Sunday (June 28), the comedian hosted the event. He used his time onstage to make fun of legendary artists including Jay-Z and Stevie Wonder, as well as to recreate viral moments, like his own megachurch skit from earlier this year.
Take a look below at the five best and funniest moments from Druski’s stint as presenter of Culture’s Biggest Night.
Druski Recreates His Megachurch Skit
The comedian opened the show by reviving his popular "Collect & Praise" church character, the fictional pastor who went viral in January for aggressively collecting donations from his congregation.
Druski Roasts Stevie Wonder
During Druski’s megachurch skit revival, he set his sights on Stevie Wonder. As he called out the megastar’s supposed $200 million net worth, the amount appeared on the arena’s screen written in Braille (or at least, what Druski said was Braille), rather than in numerals.
Druski Impersonates Jay-Z
On Sunday, Druski offered his best take on Roots Picnic freestyle-era Jay-Z, trying out some a cappella rhymes a la Hov’s recent performance. “You say I’m nominated, but the locks are segregated/I’m the shit, which means I’m constipated,” Druski, as HOV, said. “What up, New York Knicks? We won this shit!”
“They can’t cancel me,” he said in another. “I’m the answer, G. I don’t talk for free. Marcy Projects, we did it. What up, Brooklyn?”
Keke Palmer Tells Druski Hosting the BET Awards ‘Should Have Been My Gig’
As Druski strolled through the audience, Keke Palmer told him that hosting the BET Awards “should have been my gig.”
“Why the hell would they have you host? And this is the problem with BET. They be tripping, because this should have been me,” she said jokingly, before introducing Cardi B as a performer.
Druski Holds Coulda Been Records Audition
Druski’s Coulda Been Records “auditioned” three people during the awards show, including a self-proclaimed “gangster” with a BBL, a white man who was kicked out because he wasn’t Black, and Durand Bernarr. The bit was a nod to his Coulda Been Auditions series.
