For social media influencer Druski, this may be the one time he he’d wish the spotlight wasn’t on him, as his name has popped up in the sexual assault charges against Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Druski has issued a strong denial of gang rape claims made by Diddy accuser Ashley Parham.
But who exactly is Druski, and what is he being accused of?

According to several published reports, Ashley Parham — the woman who filed a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs alleging Combs’ and his cohorts gang-raped her in 2018 — has now added Druski to the list of defendants.

Druski took to his account on the X social media platform to deny Parham’s claims.
“This allegation is a fabricated lie. I wasn’t a public figure in 2018 — I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish,” read a portion of Druski’s post. “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 peddle false narratives.”
