Who is Druski – and why was he mentioned in a Sean Combs lawsuit? The comedian says he’s gone to Diddy parties, and hangs out with Drake, Jack Harlow and Kevin Hart
Comedian Druski was named in a sexual assault case with NFL player Odell Beckham Jr and denies the allegations – so what are they being accused of, and what have they said?
The alleged incident took place in 2018, with claims of the victim being drugged, kidnapped and assaulted by multiple individuals, writes Variety. Both Druski and Beckham have denied any involvement.
The plaintiff, Ashley Parham, originally sued Combs, his business associates and numerous unnamed defendants, notes People. The amended lawsuit now specifically identifies Beckham and Druski.
The lawsuit adds that Parham had gone to the Costa Contra Sheriff’s Office to report the alleged assault. A spokesperson told People that they had taken a report on March 23, 2018, but noted that the “claims were unfounded”.
On March 10, Druski, real name Drew Desbordes, took to X to deny the allegations. “This allegation is a fabricated lie. I wasn’t a public figure in 2018 – I was broke living with my mum without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish,” he wrote. “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 pedal false narratives.”
Beckham commented on the post, stating: “Boy I’ll tell [you] what. This world makes absolutely no sense. I am covered by God. He will prevail. I [know] who am I, I [know] who [you] are, keep [your] head. That name will be cleared. S***[’]s stupid.”
Here’s what we know about Druski – and his connections to Diddy – amid the news.
