‘Druski Tested His Patience’: Kevin Hart Goes Into ‘Defense Mode’ as Druski Gets Too Close to His Wife Eniko in Viral Video

Comedian Kevin Hart, 45, had to check social media influencer Drew “Druski” Desbordes for getting too close to his wife, Eniko Hart, backstage at the BET Awards.

Hart served as the host of the 2025 BET Awards in Los Angeles on June 9, but his behind-the-scenes interaction with Druski in a dressing room got a lot of attention online.

Cenat livestreamed his experience at the ceremony, including several times when the AMP group member exchanged laughs and jokes with Hart and Druski.

At one point, the trio is seen explaining common streaming lingo — like “type shyt” and “fine sh-t” — to Eniko, as Druski, 30, repeatedly uses the phrases while getting close to Hart’s wife, visibly irritating “The Real Husbands of Hollywood” star.

“What the f–k is happening?” Hart told Druski. “On some real s–t, stop talking to my f–king wife.”

The internet personality attempted to explain, “I’m trying to be nice, bro. This is my first time being around her.”

But the “Lift” actor was not having it as he added, “Druski, I almost knocked you the f–k out.”

Eniko, 40, and Kai, 23, burst out laughing as Druskii threw his arms in the air and backed away from the couple.

The backstage exchange was likely all in good fun, considering Hart, Druski, and Cenat have been collaborating on creating content for the past two years.

Hart made his Twitch stream debut with Cenat and Druski in 2023. Cenat brought both men back on his livestream in November 2024 for a special Thanksgiving-themed show.

The trio’s popular “Sleepover Stream” won Best Streamed Collab at the 2024 Streamer Awards. They reunited again at this year’s BET Awards to introduce rapper Playboi Carti’s live performance.

Despite the documented camaraderie between Hart and Druski, the livestreamed conversation with Eniko caused a lot of commotion on the internet.

“Defense mode has been activated, ” one person on X wrote about Hart. A second observer claimed he has “Small man syndrome.”

“He [knows] his wife like funny n—–s,” another social media user stated about Kevin and Eniko.

Taking a jab at Hart’s past cheating scandal while in Las Vegas during Eniko’s first pregnancy with their son, one person said, “Mf protective over a [woman] he already violated? … in las vegas … lmfao.”

However, other X users were focused on what they saw as comedic chemistry between Kevin, Druski, and Kai.

“Kevin trying to keep it cool while Druski tested his patience. The chemistry between these three is comedy gold every time,” said one person excited fan.

“That movie with them three bout to do NUMBERS,” expressed another. Druski teased an upcoming feature film with Hart and Cenat during an interview on “The Breakfast Club” radio show.

“[Kevin] just called us last night spazzing on us, just letting us know, ‘Guys get serious about this s–t,’” Druski revealed in February 2025. “He gave us a list of movies to watch, to study. I watched some of the movies, but Kai didn’t.”

The Maryland native continued, “He was like, ‘Listen man, it ain’t like you got s–t to do. Y’all ain’t doing s–t. What movies y’all got set up for this year?’ I said, ‘Come on, Kevin. Don’t do that to us, man.’ But it’s like hard parenting.” 

Druski appeared in the 2023 remake of “House Party” starring Tosin Cole and Jacob Latimore. Cenat made a cameo in 2023’s “Good Burger 2” sequel with Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
