“Please Don’t Fall For It”: Cody Johnson Issues Urgent Warning To Fans Over Dangerous New AI Scams

Comedian Druski Under Fire For Controversial Sketch Mocking Megachurch Pastors, But He Kind Of Nailed It

The truth hurts sometimes… Popular comedian Druski is ruffling feathers with his latest sketch, a satirical video poking fun at megachurch pastors that has many criticizing him for being disrespectful to Christianity, while others are living him for calling out these celebrity pastors who rake in millions and live lavish lifestyles thanks to their church.
