Druski plans to bring the worlds of music and comedy together with his Coulda Fest concert, and he’s got some heavy hitters lined up, including 21 Savage and Soulja Boy.
The comedian said on Wednesday (July 24) that he will be putting on the show, named for his Birdman-angering Coulda Been Records parody imprint, at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on September 7.
Big names on the comedy side of the bill include DC Young Fly and Kai Cenat. Other musicians and groups include Waka Flocka Flame, Young Dro, and Travis Porter.

Tickets for the show are already on sale. You can find them here. So-far-unnamed “special guests” are promised as well.
While Druski didn’t explain his reasons for having rapper on the bill in addition to comics, it could be because he recently admitted that he prefers to spend his time around rappers rather than other comedians. The viral sensation said that rappers make him feel more like a “real” person.
Druski sat down with XXL this past April 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 this past spring 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.
