Fans accuse Druski of using racist humor towards Kai Cenat's friend Ray during Mafiathon 2 stream

Comedian Druski faces backlash for allegedly using racist humor against Rayasianboy during Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 2.

During a recent stream on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 event, comedian Druski has come under fire for making a controversial comment towards Ray "Rayasianboy," a Taiwanese streamer and Cenat’s close friend. The incident, which occurred on November 27, 2024, has sparked widespread backlash on social media, with fans accusing Druski of using "racist humor."

The moment unfolded when Ray was introducing himself to the live audience. Druski, in an attempt to be humorous, urged Ray to speak in his native language. However, moments later, Druski imitated an Asian accent by speaking gibberish, a move that many viewers found inappropriate. Realizing his mistake, Druski quickly apologized, saying, “Nah, that was too much. My bad, ay, I ain't gonna lie. Erase that, I might get canceled,” before adding a more formal apology to Ray: “I'm sorry, dawg.”

Despite the comedian’s attempt to walk back his comment, fans took to social media, accusing him of crossing a line with his humor. One Twitter user remarked, “Druski lowkey using racist humor,” while another called the stream “super weird,” signaling their discomfort with the interaction. Some viewers, however, defended Druski, attributing the comment to his comedic persona, with one user claiming, "Chill, it’s the comedic genius in him."

This is not the first time Druski has faced backlash for remarks perceived as racially insensitive. Earlier in his career, during a previous collaboration with Kai Cenat and Ray, Druski made an offhand comment about rice, which he later acknowledged as a stereotype. In response to that incident, Druski apologized, acknowledging that his comment was uncalled for and insensitive.

While Druski’s humor often walks a fine line, it’s clear that the latest incident has reignited debates about cultural sensitivity in the world of online streaming. Some have argued that these kinds of jokes perpetuate harmful stereotypes, while others defend Druski’s right to push boundaries in comedy. The incident has placed the spotlight not only on Druski but also on the responsibilities of streamers and their teams to address such issues in real time.

With the controversy still unfolding, many are left wondering whether this moment will have lasting consequences for Druski’s career and his relationship with his online audience. It’s a reminder of the fine balance between humor and cultural respect in the increasingly globalized world of live streaming.
