Druski and Rubi Rose's drama explained as comedian launches reality show Coulda Been Love to find a relationship

Comedian and actor Druski, aka Drew Desbordes, was involved in a relationship with rapper and internet personality Rubi Rose. However, their relationship became a subject of scrutiny in 2024 after Rose revealed on X that her relationship with Drew was a publicity stunt and that it was not real.

Meanwhile, on February 6, 2025, the actor released the trailer of Coulda Been Love, a relationship-based reality TV show that will air on February 13, 2025. The trailer begins with the scrutiny surrounding her previous relationship with Rose and the discourse that followed. Drew then says:

“People say money can’t buy love, $50,000 can.”

The trailer mentions that some of the most attractive women in the world would compete to win Drew's love. Various women then appear in the trailer who claim to be the chosen ones, while some said they were only participating for the money. Clips then show some of the women engaging in physical altercation with others. At one point Druski says:

“Man, compete for my heart. I didn’t say fight for it.”

The question that is finally raised is who would win Drew’s heart and $50,000. The show is directed by David Janoff. The trailer has gained over three million views on X at the time of writing the story.

Exploring Druski and Rubi Rose’s relationship drama

The former couple reportedly confirmed their relationship in April 2024. Druski shared a photo of them gazing into each other’s eyes during the trip, playfully calling them “Drubi” with a heart emoji. Videos from the same getaway captured them sharing a kiss while on a boat ride.

According to Billboard, during Paris Fashion Week in June 2024, Rubi Rose was approached by social media personality Rambo. When asked about her favorite love song, she clarified she was single and walked away.

In a July 2024 interview with Audacy’s V-103, Drew confirmed their breakup, stating that he is single. He described the experience as a learning opportunity and emphasized that nothing negative led to their split.

He praised Rose for her success and beauty but admitted he might not have been fully prepared for a relationship with someone of her caliber.

In September 2024, Rubi Rose shared a series of X posts, which were taken down later, saying that her relationship with Druski was a part of a PR stunt. She clarified that he only paid for publicity, not for anything personal.

She also mentioned that Drew was funny and kind but emphasized that she only got involved with someone when she was in love, regardless of their wealth, as she was already successful herself. She wrote:

“I only give it up if I'm in love, ion care how much money a ni**a got. I'm rich asf lol.”

“And for the record i never slept with that man, ni**a paid for PR. Not the p*ssy.”

Reports suggest that Druski seemingly responded to Rose’s remarks by posting a meme on Instagram that said, “Love Don’t Cost a Thing.”
