The PrizePicks World Championships brought together celebrities, athletes, and influencers for an unforgettable evening at Pullman Yards in Atlanta on Sunday, November 17. Hosted by PrizePicks, the largest daily fantasy sports operator in North America, the event merged sports, pop culture, and entertainment, culminating in rapper Rubi Rose winning the championship title.

Rose teamed up with Janelle, a fan selected through a social media contest, to take home the $100,000 grand prize, splitting the winnings equally. Their victory came from correctly predicting five outcomes in a 6-Pick Flex lineup, which included standout projections like Derrick Henry under 86.5 rushing yards and Bijan Robinson over 25.5 receiving yards. Both Rose and Janelle also earned 6-pick Free Lineups for a chance at $1,000,000 during NFL Week 12.

The event drew major names in sports and entertainment, including Stephen A. Smith, Kysre Gondrezick, and Parker Meadows, alongside social media icons and influencers like SteveWillDoIt, Funny Marco, and Sara Saffari. PrizePicks transformed the venue into the ultimate watch party, celebrating its status as the premier daily fantasy platform.

Druski & Joe Budden Share A Cringe-Worthy Chest Bump In New Commercial: Watch

Druski and Joe Budden are in somewhat different industries and really don’t have any history together. However, they are now connecting for a new commercial. According to a tweet from a user who goes by SOUND, the comedian and rapper turned podcaster are essentially brand ambassadors for PrizePicks. If you don’t know, it’s a daily fantasy sports app/website that allows people to place prop bets on professional and college athletes from numerous leagues. However, you aren’t competing against other players, just the stats. If you pick the correct over or under for an individual’s numbers, then you win money. In the 30-second commercial, both Budden and Druski are trying to decide who they want to place bets on.

Ultimately, they go on to make the correct picks –with help from Joe– and they celebrate by chest bumping each other at the party later on. It’s both funny and cringe-worthy in the best way possible. According to Vibe, newcomer to the brand, Joe Budden, expressed his excitement about working with PrizePicks moving forward. “PrizePicks is fun, fresh, simple to use, and most importantly for me, not afraid to take risks. Nothing about PrizePicks feels like the old guard being run by old rules, they’re truly a great organization that isn’t afraid to embrace creativity and that’s paramount to me”.
