Drew “Druski” Desbordes is making headlines after working with Justin Bieber on three skits for his newest album, Swag. But for comedy fans, Druski has been a household name for years.
When Bieber released Swag on Friday, July 11, fans were quickly obsessed with his and Druski’s skits, which are part of the songs “Soulful,” “Therapy Session” and “Standing on Business.”
Druski drops wisdom during the tapped sessions with Bieber — especially on “Therapy Session” where he doles out advice about “trolling” himself on social media. Druski’s knowledge seemingly stems from his own dream of being the funny kid no matter what others think of him.
“Some kids would be like, ‘Yo I wanna be best dressed or I wanna be the best athlete.’ I used to literally say in my mind in elementary school, ‘I wanna be the funniest this year, I wanna be the funniest kid in the class,’” Druski told GQ in November 2020 of his Georgia roots and upbringing. “I would just f*** off all class and act an a**.”

Druski Is a Comedian by Trade
Druski dropped out of Georgia Southern after two semesters to focus on a career in comedy. He published his first comedy sketch via Instagram in October 2017. Three years later, during the coronavirus pandemic, Druski’s fame blew up with every new social media sketch he dropped.
One of his most iconic characters is Kyle Rogger, a frat boy full of Southern cliches and mannerisms. This year, he came in at the No. 9 spot on Forbes Top Creators List. (He has over 10 million followers on Instagram and more than 9 million on TikTok.)
Druski Has a Fictional Music Label
Druski started a fictional music label called Coulda Been Records in 2021 to host Instagram Lives on the regular. Under the Coulda Been Records umbrella, Druski has gone on tour and created the Coulda Been Records Auditions show, which is featured on YouTube. He has also launched a YouTube show called The Guys.
Druski was also part of the DunKings 2: The Movie short in 2025 with Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck and Bill Belichick for Dunkin’. He made a cameo on Grown-ish and starred in Praise This.
Bieber’s ‘Swag’ Isn’t Druski’s 1st Musical Collaboration
In addition to working on skits with Bieber for Swag, Druski has previously teamed up with Drake, Jack Harlow and Lil Yatchy. He appeared in the music video for Drake’s 2020 song “Laugh Now Cry Later” and the Jack Harlow’s “Tyler Herro” video. He teamed up with Lil Yachty for his “Oprah’s Bank Account” video.
Druski Lived With Odell Beckham Jr.
The comedian has a slew of famous friends, many of whom he met via social media. His friendship with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. goes beyond the screen. The pair briefly lived together in Los Angeles during Beckham’s offseason in spring 2020.
“We were working out everyday,” Druski told GQ in November 2020 of their roomie dynamic. “He just dropped so much knowledge about health.”
Beckham, meanwhile, told the outlet that he asked Druski to move in with him because he “brings the best energy wherever he goes and always has everyone [there] laughing.”
Druski Has a Connection to Diddy
Druski was accused in March of raping Ashley Parham in 2018 while Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly watched from a chair and recorded. Parham initially filed the lawsuit against Diddy in October 2024, adding Druski and Beckham Jr. to the filing months later.
Druski denied the allegation, claiming he wasn’t at a party with Diddy in 2018 because he wasn’t even famous at the time. “This allegation is a fabricated lie. I wasn’t a public figure in 2018 — I was broke living with my mom without any connection to the entertainment industry at the time of the allegation, so inclusion of my name is truly outlandish,” Druski wrote via a statement shared on X in March.
He added, “My heart breaks for actual victims of abuse, but I’m fully confident that the evidence will expose this falsehood and the individuals who are maliciously trying to game the legal system to peddle false narratives.”
Vibe later reported that bank documents and phone records back up Druski’s claims that he was living in Georgia when the alleged party took place in California.
Beckham Jr. also denied the allegations against him. Diddy, meanwhile, has maintained his innocence in multiple lawsuits against him for sexual assault and battery, denying Parham’s account. (Diddy was found guilty on July 2 of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but not guilty on the charge of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking in his federal case.)
