Shane Gillis has gained attention for setting two Guinness World Records in live comedy, while also drawing controversy for past remarks comparing Drake to R. Kelly, which resurfaced after his involvement in a livestream event with Drake and his son Adonis. Kanye West shared a photo of Gillis wearing his Yeezy slides, and comedians including Chelsea Handler criticized Gillis and Tony Hinchcliffe over their performances at a Kevin Hart roast.
