“Ni**az ain’t ready,” exclaimed Gibbs on Twitter, sharing a teaser for the series.

“Bust Down is rooted in our friendship,” the Bust Down creators and stars expressed in a joint statement. “Every character is a hyperbolic version of how we see each other, and every story is inspired by the bad choices we each naturally make out in the world. There aren’t a lot of straight comedies right now where people truly go for jokes that are raunchy, irreverent, and complicated, and at its core, that’s what Bust Down is all about.”

The statement continues, “We believe true equality is being able to make a show about nonsense the same way white people have been doing forever. We just wanted to make something so fu**ing hilarious that it makes people laugh so much that they miss jokes and then have to circle back to watch again.” A-fu**ing-men. This is the kind of series we need, right now. Take your entire mind off of the timeline and sink into some Black absurdity.”
