However, Lecrae argued that Druski's intention was not to mock the church, but rather to highlight its flaws.
Lecrae's Call for Self-Reflection
In his video response, Lecrae urged critics of Druski's skit to look inward and examine their own churches. He stated, 'If it's sacred ground, then we should not be allowing wolves in sheep's clothing to be up here making a mockery.'
