Damson Idris Laughs Off Druski’s Black British Actors Skit: 'You Ain’t Sh*t'

Damson Idris thinks that Druski‘s latest skit about Black British actors playing American roles is hilarious.

In the comments section of the skit on Instagram, Idris wrote to the comedian, “you ain’t shit,” followed by several laughing emojis, acknowledging that the sketch hilariously targeted actors like himself and Idris Elba.

Idris wasn’t the only celebrity in the comments laughing at the skit. Others like Lil Baby, Nick Cannon, and G Herbo also made it clear that they were laughing at the viral video.

In Druski’s new skit, the comedian stars as a fictional British actor named Sampson DuBois who plays an enslaved Black man in the United States in a film called Release the Shackles. When a director asks him for “more American slave,” DuBois reveals that he’ll focus on the dialogue and “back-and-forth banter.”

In an interview with Extra, DuBois speaks about his portrayal of the slave, calling it “cheeky” and “a little bit out of my comfort zone.”

“During the filming of this role and this character, I felt oppressed, like an American slave,” he continued. “Like, a lot of struggle. I studied the art.”

DuBois later speaks about his character at The American Guild Awards and reveals his focus on the American English dialect, revealing a disconnect between the serious subject matter of the film he was starring in.

DuBois later interviews with Entertainment Tonight about the American gangster character that he plays in Concrete Jungle — Volume 2, joined by another white director and “good London boy.”

To wrap up the sketch, DuBois gets asked by TMZ if he believes “he’s better than them,” to which he responds, “Better than who, bruv? Black people? Stop it!”
