Druski speaks onstage at the 2021 REVOLT Summit

Druski has found himself at the center of controversy.

Earlier this week, the 27-year-old comedian shared a now-deleted skit highlighting the ways men pressure women to drink. The scene begins with Druski and his friend welcoming a couple of women into a house, before they play the “never have I ever” drinking game. We then see Druski make several transparent attempts to get one of the women intoxicated.

At one point during the game, the comedian makes the statement, “Never have I ever kissed a dude,” which he knows will prompt the women to take a drink. The women then pours herself some vodka, but Druski isn’t satisfied with the size of the shot.

“She bullshitting!” Druski says as he takes a closer look at the drink. “That’s a baby shot!”

He then proceeds to fill the glass up to the brim, insisting it was a “regular shot.”

The video cuts to other clips in which Druski is seen pouring alcohol into one of the women’s mouth; another scene shows him creepily watching the women as she finishes off a drink.

Needless to say, the clip was met with mixed reactions. A number of Twitter users accused Druski of downplaying and/or glorifying predatory behavior. Others defended the comedian’s skit, saying it was condemning—not endorsing—this type of behavior.

You can read some of the reactions to the skit below. Druski has yet to respond to the backlash as of press time.

I am not understanding this Druski thing. In no way was he condoning the behavior. His videos have the theme of “dont be this person”. Could the caption of his video be written better? Yes. But its a stretch to cancel him. His intent ALWAYS is to not be the person in the clip

Druski should have never deleted the vid. This a real life thing that happens. Hella weirdo dudes act like this, and it should be put on notice. He did a good job. https://t.co/YEkR2aDeTA

Unpopular opinion but Druski has always consistently been showing different behaviors of both women and men in his content. This video happens to be about how predatory men can be at functions. Is it funny? Meh. Accurate? Absolutely. https://t.co/Csbagsnyvf

That Druski Video touched my nerve.

Because people don’t talk about how men pressure you into drinking trying to fuck but if you don’t, everyone around you women included, will tell you that you’re killing the vibe.

The vibe is passed out drunk?
