Druski is making it clear that his friendship with Drake was never going to be affected by the rapper’s highly publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar.
In a new GQ cover story, the comedian opened up about where he stood throughout the battle and why he continued to support Drake while the rap world was caught up in the back-and-forth.
“That’s my brother. I don’t care about what’s hot at the moment or what’s going on,” Druski said. “I’m just big on loyalty. I just supported a friend throughout that whole endeavor.”
The comments also gave Druski the chance to address speculation surrounding a viral moment involving Kendrick Lamar.
In June 2025, videos surfaced online appearing to show Druski avoiding Kendrick on two separate occasions backstage at an awards show. The clips quickly sparked theories that the comedian was deliberately keeping his distance from Kendrick because of his friendship with Drake.
Druski, however, said that was not the case.
“That was not intentional,” he said with a laugh. “Social media will take these clips and spin them however they want to spin it.”
The incident generated plenty of conversation at the time, with some fans praising Druski for seemingly remaining loyal to Drake, while others criticized what they saw as an unnecessary involvement in someone else’s rap feud.
Druski and Drake have been close for years. The comedian appeared alongside Lil Durk in Drake’s 2020 “Laugh Now Cry Later” video at a time when his comedy career was beginning to take off online. Drake was among the major celebrities who supported him early on in his rise.
Five years later, their friendship came under even greater scrutiny as Drake’s feud with Kendrick dominated Hip Hop, with fans closely watching to see where other artists and celebrities stood.
However, Druski’s GQ profile comes as his career continues to expand far beyond his ties to the music industry.
The Atlanta comedian is set to star alongside Emma Stone and Chris Pine in the upcoming baseball romantic comedy The Catch, directed by Dave McCary. Speaking to GQ, Stone praised Druski’s collaborative nature.
“Drew is incredibly generous and funny,” she said. “I’ve been noticing he usually uses the word ‘we’ instead of ‘I.’ I think collaboration is at the core of what he does and who he is.”
Druski is also developing Collect & Praise, a scripted series centered on his fraudulent megachurch pastor character and featuring Mike Epps. Production for the project has taken place at locations including Tyler Perry Studios and Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail.
