Druski Desbordes, known for his witty jokes, generated buzz at the 2026 Black Entertainment Awards on Sunday evening June 28, 2026.
The 2026 BET Awards took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, June 28, 2026.
Druski in his opening monologue, which was nothing short of celebrity roasts, viral skit shoutouts and a particular jab at Stevie Wonder that got everyone talking.
The American comedian opened the dazzling evening by bringing back his beloved Collect & Praise preacher character.
This Druski character, a fictional pastor, sparked a buzz online for soliciting donations from his congregants.
But this Druski was aimed at some of the well-heeled stars attending BET 2026.
He gave them a fake call to collect, saying, “We have so many stars in the building whose net worth is blessed and which God has ordained to bless me. »
Druski first took aim at director Tyler Perry.
“Put Tyler Perry’s net worth up there. Oh, my God! Glory! $1.4 billion! We’re shooting the net worth tonight,” Druski said.
“Hey, man! I don’t care if it’s from you, Madea, or from that crazy black woman. Someone better donate, amen?”
The hits were taken to the next level when Druski turned to music icon Stevie Wonder.
“Who else in the building? Who else? We have Stevie Wonder in the building. Put his net worth up there.”
As Wonder’s estimated net worth of $20 million appeared on the display screen, the CG graphic also included a braille sign next to his shot, creating the gag.
“200 million dollars!” » Druski said before a moment.
“Hey, hey! Shut up. He can’t see it. Shut up.”
The moment he dropped this gag, the audience burst into laughter as he continued with the gag.
“This check is in braille right there. It’s braille! This check is signed, sealed, delivered. Damn it. Amen.”
