AceShowbiz - Druski is making sure no one misses the memo for the 2026 BET Awards by delivering some unforgettable invitations in a new promotional video for the ceremony. Known for his comedic flair and over-the-top antics, Druski takes his role as host seriously by personally visiting several major stars to invite them in the most extravagant ways possible.
The promo opens with Druski arriving at the home of singer and 13-time Grammy winner John Legend with an entire gospel choir. When Legend opens his door, he’s bewildered to see Druski leading the choir, who proclaim that Druski is hosting the BET Awards. The comedian confirms the invitation and informs Legend that he’s wanted at "culture’s biggest night," with the choir echoing the message. As the choir sings about the event happening on June 28, Legend seems impressed, complimenting their voices before retreating indoors.
Next, Druski visits Jamie Foxx, arriving in a nod to the star’s Oscar-winning role in Django Unchained by riding up on a horse. Druski reiterates that he’s hosting the BET Awards and notes the dress code is black suit and tie. Foxx jokingly rebuffs the invite to join him on the horse, telling Druski to "get your black a- off my street," but the invitation is firmly delivered.
At the next stop, Druski shows up at the house of rapper and entertainer Cardi B accompanied by a mariachi band. Though Druski mistakenly assumes Cardi is Mexican, only to learn she is Dominican, he goes ahead with the festive invite anyway. He encourages her to "bring the girls out," to which Cardi B enthusiastically responds, "You know I’ll bring the girls," and thanks Druski and the band with a playful "Thank you, papacitos!"
For his final invite, Druski opts for a pyrotechnic approach when arriving at fellow comedian Martin Lawrence’s home. Holding a large BET Awards sign and igniting sparklers, Druski attempts to hype Lawrence for the event. Although Lawrence questions if he has time to get a black suit and tie, Druski drowns him out by shouting the date "June 28th" back and forth with sparklers blazing. The comedian ultimately retreats inside, closing the door on Druski’s enthusiastic invitation.
The 2026 BET Awards will take place live on June 28 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Thanks to Druski’s creative and memorable invitations, there’s no chance the stars will miss the event. The full promo video showcases Druski’s humorous and larger-than-life approach to hosting, making it clear that this awards show promises to be a night to remember.
