Who is Druski? Deleted skit controversy explained as social media star trends on Twitter

Comedian Druski recently came under fire for publishing a controversial skit on Instagram. The now-deleted skit revolved around the concept of getting women intoxicated before taking advantage of their situation.

In the video, the comedian and his friend were seen welcoming two women into their apartment. The quartet then played a game of “Never Ever Have I Ever,” during which they took alcohol shots based on their respective answers.

Over the course of the next few clips, the boys were seen pressurizing the women to drink more alcohol despite their refusal.

Similar to other videos made by the internet sensation, the skit attempted to portray a real-life scenario and inject humor into it. However, it garnered mass criticism on social media as several people called out the comedian for making a joke about a serious issue and invalidating the trauma experienced by women in real life.

Some have also defended the content creator and claimed he did not aim to create any controversy with his video and there were no ill intentions involved.
