Druski Credits Drake With Launching His Comedy Career: ‘Everything Shifted After That’
Druski says Drake’s decision to cast him in the 2020 “Laugh Now Cry Later” music video transformed his comedy career. The exposure made brands view him as a major entertainment figure rather than simply another online comedian, leading to more serious opportunities and higher fees.
The video also featured Lil Durk, Marshawn Lynch, Kevin Durant and Odell Beckham Jr., and reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 while earning two Grammy nominations. Druski has since expanded his profile through arena tours, the BET Awards, a Webby Award, Billboard recognition and further music-video and recording appearances.
- Drake’s video appearance helped legitimise Druski’s career.
- Brand interest and fees increased significantly afterwards.
- “Laugh Now Cry Later” became a major chart and awards success.
