During an appearance on The Jess Cagle Show, Idris said selling weed was just one of his side hustles. He was also a DJ spinning records at nightclubs before making it big in Hollywood.

“I did that for a little bit just to help pay the way,” the Hedgehog 2 star said. “I DJed quite a bit… [and] I was a doorman at Caroline’s Comedy Club.” Idris said he took advantage of his gig as a doorman at the comedy club to meet comedians who wanted to get high before their gigs.

David Chappelle remembers me cause he used to buy weed from me! Anyway, moving on.”
