Rubi Rose has made headlines with a surprising admission about her rumored romance with comedian Druski. She revealed that their relationship was genuine despite her earlier claims it was a publicity stunt during a live stream on April 2, 2025, with internet personality Adin Ross. The revelation has sparked a wave of reactions, shedding light on the complexities of celebrity relationships and the pressures of public perception.
During the livestream, Rose dropped a bombshell that contradicted months of speculation.
“Here’s an honesty moment,”
She told viewers.
“Me and Dru were really in a relationship and I said it was PR because he pissed me the fuck off and hurt my feelings, so yeah.”
The admission directly challenged her September 2024 social media posts, where she had insisted their romance was fabricated for publicity, even going so far as to claim,
“And for the record I never slept with that man, n—a paid for PR. Not the p—y.”
Rose didn’t shy away from owning up to her deception. She described her earlier statements as “really lame” and “embarrassing,” explaining that once she had publicly labeled the relationship as fake, she felt compelled to “stand on it.” However, she now expresses regret, signaling a desire to move more transparently.
The saga began in April 2024 when Rubi Rose and Druski were spotted together during a beach getaway in the Dominican Republic, sparking rumors of a budding romance. Their relationship quickly gained traction on social media, with the couple sharing videos of cozy moments, everyday hangouts, and even a “two-week anniversary” celebration. By May 2024, public displays of affection, including footage of them kissing, seemed to cement their status as a couple.
However, the romance came to an abrupt end in June 2024. While attending Paris Fashion Week, Rose announced her single status in a street interview, declaring, “F**k love…I’m single, guys.” The sudden breakup left fans puzzled and set the stage for conflicting narratives.
In the months that followed, both parties offered different perspectives. Druski hinted at the challenges of dating someone of Rose’s stature in a July 2024 media appearance, mentioning financial pressures without directly addressing their split. Then, in September 2024, Rose shocked followers by claiming on social media that their entire relationship had been a PR stunt, a statement she has now recanted.
Druski never directly addressed Rose’s PR stunt allegations then but appeared to respond indirectly through social media. Posting an Instagram Story with his face photoshopped onto Nick Cannon’s in the movie “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” and captioning another post, “Never needed no PR,” he subtly pushed back against the notion that he required fabricated publicity.
Media personalities, including Adam22 of the No Jumper podcast, also expressed skepticism about Rose’s initial claims. During a podcast episode, Adam22 questioned the logic of Druski paying for a fake relationship, noting the comedian’s fame and success, including millions of views on his YouTube reality show.
Rose emphasized that she and Druski remain on good terms. “It’s in the past now and we’re friends and we’re cool still,” she said, revealing they’ve known each other for about ten years, dating back to their high school days. However, she acknowledged that her false claims had impacted Druski, noting, “He was really bothered” by her characterizing their relationship as manufactured.
The backstory of their connection adds depth to the story. Rubi Rose, known for hits like “Big Mouth” and her significant following on platforms like OnlyFans, and Druski, a comedian and social media star with a massive online presence, are both familiar figures in entertainment. Their decade-long friendship, now revealed, suggests their 2024 romance was an extension of a more profound bond rather than a sudden publicity ploy.
The evolving narrative of Rose and Druski’s relationship has captivated audiences, with entertainment outlets closely tracking each twist and turn. From their initial romance to the breakup, conflicting claims, and now this confession, the saga underscores the intense scrutiny public figures face and the complexities of navigating personal emotions under a spotlight.
