Justin Bieber shocked fans by releasing his new album Swag on July 11, his first full-length project since 2021’s Justice.
The album features an unexpected collaboration with comedian and internet personality Druski, who has recently made headlines over links to a lawsuit involving Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Released via Def Jam Recordings, Swag showcases a hip-hop-infused sound and includes collaborations with artists like Gunna, Sexyy Red, Cash Cobain, and notably, Druski, who appears on three tracks: Therapy Session, Standing on Business, and Solful.
Druski’s appearance adds a comedic and confessional edge, particularly in Therapy Session, where he quips:
“That’s why I say, I’ma be your counselor. I’ma tell you, you start smokin’ these Black & Milds with me, bro, you gon’ feel way better.”
The unusual feature has sparked mixed reactions online. Some fans were unimpressed.
@joana said, “this is unserious.”
@suarez added, “druski shouldn’t be standing on anything.”
Others praised the bold collaboration.
@sjSwami quipped, “Druski getting featured three times on Justin Bieber’s new album shows how much his talent and presence are valued… Looking forward to hearing those tracks and seeing how they complement each other.”
@Jiame supported, “Druski’s album feature game is officially stronger than my resume….Justin Bieber knows talent when he sees it.”
Meanwhile, Druski’s name has surfaced in a high-profile lawsuit reported by The New York Times, involving allegations of sexual assault at a 2018 gathering attended by Diddy and NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.
Druski, who was named as a defendant, strongly denies the claims, calling them “fabricated” and maintaining he had no ties to Diddy at the time.
Investigative findings, including bank and geolocation records, reportedly support Druski’s claim that he was not present during the alleged incident.
