A video circulated on social media on 30 August 2026 showing the former rapper delivering a sermon and leading a prayer session with what appeared to be a congregation of church members.

Syder 38 from Kumerica drill to pulpit

G-Migos earned recognition as one of the notable acts to emerge from Kumasi's thriving drill scene, gaining attention through energetic freestyles and live performances.

The duo's profile grew significantly after multiple award-winning rapper Sarkodie gave them a co-sign, one of the more prominent endorsements they received during their rise.

Syder 38's name became closely associated with the Kumerica identity, a cultural and musical movement centred on Kumasi that drew comparisons to Chicago's drill scene and produced several breakout Ghanaian acts.

In the video that sparked discussions online, Syder 38 appeared fully engaged in the spiritual gathering, preaching with evident conviction and guiding those present through prayer.

The footage offered followers their clearest view yet of the path he appears to have chosen.

The precise point at which he began his transition into ministry has not been publicly established, but his appearance in the video suggests he is actively committed to his new role.
