Druski has revealed that he prefers to spend his time around rappers rather than other comedians, with the viral sensation saying that rappers make him feel more like a “real” person.
Druski sat down with XXL on Monday (April 29) to talk about his career trajectory, and that’s where he made the revelation.

“I’m a real person, bro. I don’t know. I’m more comfortable around [rap] artists than I am around comedians,” he said. “And I don’t know if that’s because it’s a competition thing with the comedians and it doesn’t feel like that when I’m around artists.”
He continued: “I do feel like I have more of a friendship with a lot of bigger artists and just that community. It just is a natural thing. And I think Coulda Been Records also is one of those things they find so funny that they always want to talk to the CEO.”

That comfort around rappers apparently extends to rapper scions, including King Harris — son of T.I. and Tameka “Tiny” Harris — who recently squashed the beef he had with the Coulda Been Records founder at Quavo‘s Huncho Day celebrity football game.
A video of the two men laughing and joking on the field before the game seemed to make it clear that there was no longer any bad blood between them.

While the pair did not talk about putting the past behind them, they both appeared in good spirits when speaking to each other.
The charity event, which aimed to raise money to prevent gun violence, took place at the former Migos rapper’s old high school in Atlanta and was attended by many sports stars past and present including Stephen Jackson, Ray-Ray McCloud III and Flau’jae Johnson among others.

Huncho Day was a sold-out affair with 4,000 attendees, allowing Quavo to raise $50,000 for The Rocket Foundation in support of gun violence prevention and other charities he supports.
During an interview with The Breakfast Club, the comic confirmed that the teen did actually show up to his video shoot for his single “Standin’ On Bihness,” a collaboration with Snoop Dogg and DJ Drama.
“He did pull up on me at the video shoot but we had too much security out there, though,” Druski said. “N-gga tried to do a stare off. N-gga got out his car and kinda stood on top of it. This n-gga going back to that nice ass house. He don’t know nothing about standing on no business.”

King has attempted to claim responsibility for the popularization of the phrase “standing on business,” though it was previously used by Druski and Drake.
