Speaking with XXL for a recent interview, Druski explained that he prefers to spend time with rappers instead of other comedians. “I’m a real person, bro. I don’t know. I’m more comfortable around [rap] artists than I am around comedians,” he said. “And I don’t know if that’s because it’s a competition thing with the comedians and it doesn’t feel like that when I’m around artists. I do feel like I have more of a friendship with a lot of bigger artists and just that community. It just is a natural thing. And I think Coulda Been Records also is one of those things they find so funny that they always want to talk to the CEO.”

DJ Fresh will provide music throughout the event.

“Coulda Fest won’t be a traditional music and comedy festival,” Druski said. “It’s going to be a celebration of Atlanta’s culture and a night full of hilarious sketches that bring us back to the special times in our city’s music history. This concept has never been done before, so I’m looking forward to bringing this vision to life.”

Druski recently completed the successful first season of his reality show “Coulda Been House,” where aspiring artists competed to win $50,000 and a record deal with his Coulda Been Records label—the eight-episode season featured special appearances from Snoop Dogg, Birdman, and Chris Brown, garnering over 60 million views and proving to be a smash hit.

Fans eagerly anticipate “Coulda Fest,” which promises to be a memorable celebration of comedy and music, highlighting the vibrant cultural scene of Atlanta.
