Druski, the popular comedian and internet personality, has announced the launch of his first-ever comedy and music festival, “Coulda Fest.” The festival, which will be produced by Outback Presents, will take place on September 7 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

“Coulda Fest” will be co-hosted by Druski and fellow comedian DC Young Fly. The event promises a star-studded lineup, featuring live comedy sketches and musical performances from top artists such as Lil Baby, Kai Cenat, Soulja Boy, Waka Flocka Flame, Yung Joc, Young Dro, Roscoe Dash, Navv Greene, Travis Porter, DJ Unk, Baby Drill, Baby Kia, Shop Boyz, Yung LA, F.L.Y., Rich Kidz, Ugliest Rapper Alive, and many surprise guests. 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.”

Tickets will be available through a presale beginning on Wednesday, July 24, at 10 a.m. EST using the code COULDA. An additional venue presale will start on Thursday, July 25, at 10 a.m. EST. General ticket sales will commence on Friday, July 26, at 10 a.m. EST via 4Lifers.com and Ticketmaster.com.

The festival will uniquely blend Druski’s comedic sketches with nostalgic musical performances, paying homage to different eras of Atlanta Hip-Hop.

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.

“Coulda Fest won’t be a traditional music and comedy festival,” Druski told Billboard. “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.”

The event will be co-hosted by DC Young Fly, known for starring on Wild ‘N Out.

Druski Tried To Stop DJ From Playing “Not Like Us” At BET Awards Party

by

Druski and Drake go way back. The comedian made an appearance in the music video for Drake’s 2021 smash “Laugh Now, Cry Later.” When Druski made jokes about Young Money boss Birdman in 2023, the 6 God stepped in and advised him to be careful. They appear to have each other’s back, as far as major celebrity figures go. Druski kept this streak of loyalty alive on June 30, when the comedian tried to get a DJ to stop playing a Drake diss during a BET Awards after party.

The IG footage sees Druski motion towards the DJ and give him a cut-off sign. Despite his efforts, though, Kendrick Lamar’s number one single, “Not Like Us,” continues to play. It might not have worked, but Druski was asking a DJ to stop playing Lamar in Los Angeles, so it was going to be an uphill battle. It was worth a shot, at least for him. Druski has maintained that he supports Drake throughout the K. Dot battle, but this is the first time fans have gotten to see his loyalty in action. Part of the reason Druski is indebted to the 6 God is because he game the comedian a huge look early on in his career.

Druski Was Seen Trying To Cut The After Party DJ Off

Druski recounted the experience of meeting Drake during a 2022 interview with Billboard. He jokingly compared it to meeting the President. “I’m sitting in a room, and they’re like, ‘Drake will come and talk to you.’ People are coming in and checking on me and I’m like, ‘Alright. Where’s he at?’ He comes in with like a fleet of security,” Druski recalled. The comedian then went on a tangent about Drake’s scent. “You smell this dude before he even walks in the room,” he noted. “So I’m like, ‘What the hell is that smell? Like, the whole room has this heavenly smell to it. Cologne don’t even smell like that. I’m like, ‘What the hell? Did they spray something in this whole room?’”

Drake has given Druski his flowers in return. He hopped on Instagram Live with Druski shortly after the release of Certified Lover Boy to show off his Toronto mansion. He also joked about things going downhill after the album, despite it being certified platinum. “It’s really been downhill after the album dropped,” he quipped. “I’m not going to lie. It’s been slow motion. It’s been a bit of a downward spiral.” While these words appear more prophetic in light of recent events, the point stands: Druski and Drake are tight. It’s going to be a long summer of hearing “Not Like Us” for both of them.

Rubi Rose and Druski (Drubi) have seemingly split up, after the Kentucky femcee emphatically labeled herself as single. To many, this may not come as a surprise, as people were quick to question the validity of their relationship. But whether you want to believe that it not, this confirms that they were indeed an item. This news comes courtesy of The Shade Room, and this relationship update was revealed during Paris Fashion Week. In short and blunt fashion, Rubi Rose was asked what her favorite love song was, given they were in the aforementioned city.

“Um, f*** love“, she told the interviewer. However, she was not referring to the song by XXXTENTACION. Instead, she was sharing how she has seemingly been feeling lately. Before abruptly walking away, Rose made it known that she is not with anyone anymore. “Okay, I’m single, guys”. The Shade Room is also saying that Druski has yet to speak out about this breakup and that neither of them were following each other on Instagram.

But instead of just moving on from the star comedian, Rubi is supposedly ready to make herself totally available again. In a clip reshared from HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED off her IG story, the model was sporting her figure in a sultry fashion. She captioned the video, “Responding to DMs”, with a link attached. When you click on it, it takes you to her version of a Linktree. It includes shortcuts to her OnlyFans, Snapchat, as well as the music video for “Deserve To Die”. Given the fact that the track deals with men cheating on women, some are speculating that Druski was possibly getting with someone else. Regardless, it will be interesting to see what happens between them.

What are your thoughts on Rubi Rose saying that she is now single? Do you think that her relationship with Druski was truly real? How do you feel about her seemingly making herself available already?

Desi Banks Walks Back Initial Frustration With Complex’s “Funniest Person On The Internet” Rankings

by

Desi Banks is a comedian who has been able to craft out a sizable fanbase for himself. Moreover, he is someone who is known for internet skits, and being particularly famous online. This subsequently led to his inclusion on Complex’s latest “Funniest Person Online” list. However, Banks found himself just inside the Top 10, at number 8. The list included Druski, who was ranked number one. Kai Cenat, Lou Ratchet, and Trarags were other creators who ended up getting the nod.

Following his inclusion on the list, Banks took to social media where he seemed a bit upset by his ranking. “Guess my black ass ain’t shit,” he wrote. “Dizamn thanks for the fuel stuff like this motivate my black ass.” With his reaction going viral online, Banks ultimately clarified himself to The Shade Room. “I’m playing but I’m not because I care that much about comedy, but it’s all good. I’ll keep doing my thing and elevating in the real world doing real sh*t, also doing the social media. But it’s my motivation,” he said.

He also spoke about the list and how there was a lack of women on there. “It could have most definitely been more, I know a few women,” he noted. “The women that’s on there, I can’t speak on people I don’t know. If we talking about social media, I’m talking consistency of comedy for years, folks they had on that list have’t even been around like that.” Needless to say, these lists hold a lot of weight, even if some people try to argue that they don’t.

LeBron James Shocks Kai Cenat And Druski By Calling During Live Stream

by

Kai Cenat’s live stream was star-studded on June 10. The online personality managed to get Kevin Hart and Druski to join him for a few hours of jokes and random conversations. Both men provide more than enough star power on their own, but things took an unexpectedly wild turn when Hart decided to show off his industry clout. He not only mentioned LeBron James, but he FaceTimed the superstar and got him to chat with Cenat and Druski on stream. Cenat and Druski reacted exactly like you think they would.

Hart tries to continue the conversation with LeBron James while Cenat and Druski celebrate in the background. They’re clearly starstruck by the encounter, and Hart is clearly trying not to laugh. Both Kai Cenat and Druski have praised the legendary athlete in the past. The latter even claimed that James was better than Michael Jordan during his appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast. “I’m big on LeBron,” he admitted. “I like the way he got his whole career going and the way he’s just a social person. He’s not like Jordan and doesn’t like people and staying away from, the black people and stuff. No shade.”

Kevin Hart dialed LeBron James up in the middle of the stream. The other two men can hardly contain themselves when the Lakers star picks up. Kai Cenat runs into frame and screams James’ name before clapping his hands. Druski, meanwhile said he was surprised to hear James swear. “When Bron started saying n**ga,” he asked. Hart explains the situation to James, telling him “the world know” that he says “n**ga,” which leads to a whole back-and-forth between the group. The excitement then takes over, and Cenat and Druski urge Kevin Hart to show his phone screen to the camera. He obliges, and James can be seen for a split second.

Kevin Hart, meanwhile has known LeBron James for over a decade. The most famous public interaction between Hart and James happened at the NBA All-Star Game in 2016. Hart was one of the celebrities in attendance, and James stole Hart’s drink to give to hometown hero Drake. Hart got the superstar back in his 2023 comedy special, Reality Check, however. The comedian poked fun at his receding hairline, and the fact that he could “count the hair on top of his f**king head.” It’s safe to assume the roasts will keep going back-and-forth, especially after the Cenat stream.
