A video posted on 11 May 2026 became a comedic hit because of the pastor. A misleading caption claimed that the church leader was reciting lyrics by Michael Jackson to convince people she was spiritually gifted. The post gained attention, but online users were more interested in the lyrics of a Michael Jackson classic.
A pastor was taking part in a praise and worship at her church. She became a victim of editing magic in the clip by @harrymukonjez, where the preacher was made to look like she was repeating the words: "Mama-say-mama-sa-mama-coosa" from Michael Jackson's Wanna Be Starting Something.
The caption claimed the pastor was getting exposed for pretending to pray in tongues, which sparked a frenzy as many soon realised it was audio from a skit. Most of the attention turned to the lyrics after many viewers were mistaken that the original lyrics were: "I am saying one more time, I am not going to stop." The real lyrics translate to "you're a vegetable" in Duaka, which were sampled from an original song, Soul Makossa, by Mani Dibango. Watch the comedic video of the preacher below:
