A lot of people gleefully cheering this on, but they won’t stop at child support. They’re going to follow this same model to start doing the same to those with student loan and medical debt next. Bet.
A former executive at Pinky Cole’s now-closed Bar Vegan restaurant has been indicted on theft, forgery and money laundering charges. Court docs allege unauthorized transfers, including an $87K wire for personal gain.

What did I forget?
Druski's story is insane.
In 2017, Drew Desbordes was a 23-year-old sports analytics major at Georgia Southern who got depressed, stopped going to class, and dropped out after two semesters. His mom cried when he told her. He moved into her living room in Gwinnett County, Georgia, propped his phone on a shelf, and started filming character skits on Instagram. The handle was @Druski2funny.
For almost three years, nothing happened. He was broke. He played a record exec character named Kyle Rogger that nobody outside his feed knew.
Then COVID hit. Nobody was going outside, so they tuned into his Instagram Lives. March 2020, Lil Yachty puts him in the "Oprah's Bank Account" video. Five months later, Drake casts him in "Laugh Now Cry Later." Druski has called it the moment that changed his life.
The part nobody talks about: he turned the parody into the real business. Coulda Been Records started as a satire of label gatekeepers. He's said he studied Suge Knight and Sean Combs to build the bit. Then he flipped the joke into a real label, a real touring company, and a real production studio. Streaming platforms passed on his shows. He self-funded "Coulda Been Love" and "Coulda Been House" through 4lifers Entertainment, the company he founded in 2023.
The Coulda Woulda Shoulda tour grossed $2.5M. Coulda Fest sold out State Farm Arena. The 2025 ten-city arena tour with Snoop, Wiz, Jack Harlow, and Chief Keef sold out every date. Forbes ranked him #9 on the top creators list at $14M earned in 2025. He owns equity in Happy Dad Hard Seltzer. He owns an FCF League team. He shot a Super Bowl spot for Dunkin'.
Eight and a half years from a phone propped on a shelf in his mom's living room to hosting the BET Awards.
He couldn't get into the industry. So he built a parody of it. Now the parody is hosting it.
