The visual to the Lil Durk-assisted 2020 track also featured cameos from superstar athletes Kevin Durant, Odell Beckham Jr. and Marshawn Lynch.
Comedian Druski credits Drake for launching his comedy career, crediting the rapper for legitimizing his brand after casting him in the 2020 "Laugh Now Cry Later" music video. Speaking on The Diary of a CEO, Druski explained that the collaboration with Drake shifted everything for him, with brands starting to take him seriously and his value increasing in the eyes of sponsors.
He further elaborated that the presence of other notable guests such as Lil Durk, Marshawn Lynch, Kevin Durant, and Odell Beckham Jr. amplified his comedic role in the video, which was titled "Laugh Now, Cry Later."
