Druski: They're Lying To You About Overnight Success!
What was said
"I'm like, "I'm going to be a comedian. I'm going to be on TV. I promise you in a year I'm going to make sure I'm on TV. And if I'm not, I told her this wild story of I'm going to kill myself. I said, if I don't become a comedian and I don't become a famous comedian on TV, I'mma kill myself.""
Druski recalls that after dropping out of university he told his mother he would be on TV within a year, and says he also made a suicidal statement if he failed. He describes it as an extreme comment made during a high-pressure period when he felt all-in on comedy.
