Drew Desbordes (born September 12, 1994), known online under the name druski or drewski2funny, is an American internet personality. He is known for collaborating with various rappers in their music videos, like Jack Harlow,[1] Drake,[2] and others through various sketches.[3]
Early life and education
Drew Desbordes, professionally known as Druski, was born on September 12, 1994, in Columbia, Maryland to Cheryl Desbordes, a state department worker, and David McLain Desbordes, a commercial pilot who previously served in the United States Air Force as a captain and in the National Guard as a Major.[4][5] He grew up in Gwinnett County, Georgia. He played sports as a child and mostly stayed out of trouble, except in the classroom when he would make jokes.[6] He attended South Gwinnett High School.
Desbordes was always funny and used to make his parents laugh speaking in different accents.[7] Drew came from a comedic household, from his Grandma down to his brother. His family introduced him to the world of comedy at an early age, as his parents watched popular comedians on television, such as Cedric The Entertainer and Dave Chappelle.[6]
Desbordes graduated high school due to his Spanish teacher, Nancy Gordeuk, giving him a simple paper to complete that awarded two-years worth of the class, meaning he could graduate on time. He then attended Georgia Gwinnett College before transferring to Georgia Southern University. He became depressed and stopped attending classes, instead watching YouTube videos. After two semesters, he dropped out. Desbordes was originally a Sports analytics major and wanted to become a sportscaster, but later turned to comedy after being encouraged by his classmates.[8][6]
Career
In late 2017, Desbordes began posting comedic skits and other comedic content on his Instagram account under the handle "druski2funny".[9]
On March 9, 2020, he was featured on Lil Yachty's song "Oprah's Bank Account."[10] On August 13, 2020, Desbordes was featured in the music video of Drake's song "Laugh Now Cry Later" featuring Lil Durk.[11][12] On October 22, 2020, he was featured in Jack Harlow's song "Tyler Herro."[13]
In 2021, Revolt and Adidas announced a new series called Sneakin’ In With Druski, with Desbordes as the host.[14] The series has featured people like Snoop Dogg, Teyana Taylor, Yung Miami since its launch.[15] That same year, Desbordes created the satirical label Coulda Been Records as a way for artists to come onto his Instagram Lives, usually resulting in him teasing them throughout their time on.[16] Druski was an opening act for J. Cole and 21 Savage's The Off-Season Tour throughout September and October 2021.[17] Also in October, Desbordes satirically offered Meek Mill to sign onto Coulda Been Records after Meek Mill said that he didn't get paid for his music.[18][19][20]
