Druski's saxophone gag at the BET Awards has drawn sharp criticism from a major hip-hop figure.
Terrence "Punch" Henderson, president of Top Dawg Entertainment, blasted the comedian after his running bit interrupted SZA and Doechii's acceptance speech.
The pair were accepting the BET Her Award for "girl, get up" when Druski's saxophonist suddenly took the stage and played over them, drowning out their remarks.
Punch took to X with a post that was later deleted, writing, "This n**** Druski weird for that Sax stunt."
Druski had warned the audience during his opening monologue that there would be no long speeches.
He said winners would get 30 seconds before saxophonist Kenneth Whalum played them off, even giving a preview of the sound.
For SZA and Doechii, the warning proved real. The incident has sparked debate about whether the bit was funny or disrespectful.
Druski's goal was to keep the show moving, but Punch believes his artists were denied their moment on stage.
