Instagram’s original series Close Friends Only dropped its fourth episode today, bringing fans another dose of candid conversation and laughs. This time, the spotlight shines on rapper Lil Yachty and comedian Druski, who sit down at Yachty’s home for a deep dive into their long-running friendship, the art of DM sliding, dream collaborators, and more.
Available now across multiple streaming platforms, including Spotify, YouTube, iHeartRadio, and Apple Podcasts, Close Friends Only offers viewers a unique, unfiltered look at the lives of their favorite stars. In this episode, Yachty and Druski deliver a mix of humor and sincerity, offering fans insights into their personalities, careers, and what it’s really like behind the scenes.
DM Do’s and Don’ts with Lil Yachty and Druski
One of the most memorable segments in the new episode is the duo’s discussion about the do’s and don’ts of sliding into someone’s DMs. Yachty, known for his smooth approach to dating, shares his method of flirting via Instagram: “I don’t jump straight in [the DMs] and ask for their number. I’m trying to get to know you. I slow roast like a turkey.” His laid-back approach to connecting with others on social media contrasts with Druski’s more direct take. “If you go into the DMs, you gotta do the work first,” Druski advises. “Go to her [Instagram], and like all the selfies. It’s like doing your homework.” The conversation reveals the two’s different styles when it comes to social media flirting, making for an amusing and relatable exchange.
The Call to Kevin Hart
Another highlight of the episode comes when Yachty jokingly questions whether Kevin Hart actually wants to do a movie with Druski. To clear up the confusion, Druski picks up the phone and calls Hart—only for the call to go straight to voicemail. As Druski leaves a message, Yachty can’t help but laugh at the awkwardness, adding an unexpected twist to the conversation. It’s a moment that showcases the duo’s playful dynamic, as well as their ability to bring humor to even the most mundane situations.
Dream Collaborations: Yachty vs. Druski
The episode also touches on the duo’s dream collaborators in both music and comedy. Yachty, whose music has gained a cult following, shares his aspirations to work with a wide range of creative minds, including “Frank Ocean, Robert Pattinson, Christopher Nolan, and Spike Lee.” Druski, on the other hand, is focused on comedy legends, naming “Eddie Murphy and Will Ferrell” as his top collaborators. The conversation gives fans a rare glimpse into the artistic ambitions of these two multi-talented figures, shedding light on their influences and the people they admire most in their respective fields.
Behind-the-Scenes of Druski’s Thanksgiving Stream with Kai Cenat
In a particularly entertaining segment, Druski opens up about his viral Thanksgiving stream with popular streamer Kai Cenat. The two collaborated on a chaotic and hilarious live broadcast, but Druski shares some of the behind-the-scenes moments that didn’t make it to the public eye. “I burned my clothes afterwards to get rid of bedbugs from Kai’s ‘itchy room,’” Druski jokes, recounting the less-than-glamorous reality of streaming with Cenat. The humorous story offers a candid look at the not-so-glamorous side of the entertainment industry.

Real Talk on Fame, Success, and Criticism
While the episode is full of lighthearted moments, the conversation takes a more serious turn when the two discuss the pressures of fame and dealing with criticism from those in their respective industries. Yachty and Druski both reflect on how they’ve handled criticism from “OGs” in rap and comedy, as well as the challenges that come with success. “It’s all about staying grounded,” Druski says, offering a glimpse into the mindset that has helped him navigate the ups and downs of a growing career in comedy.
The duo also discusses how fame has impacted their lives on a personal level, from changes in their day-to-day routines to navigating public expectations. Yachty, known for his laid-back persona, and Druski, famous for his over-the-top comedy skits, both emphasize the importance of authenticity in maintaining their mental well-being.
