GB Drako says Costa Mesa police watch everything he does, and he wants them off his back

A Juice Unlocked Clips cut from a Foo Community sit-down interview. Drako, in a white graphic tee, sits in a wooden armchair against a plain wall and points while he talks. The on-screen headline reads "GB DRAKO wants the Costa Mesa PD to get off his," finished with an eggplant emoji, next to an inset photo of three men in vests labeled "Costa Mesa Gang Unit." In the clip he describes police screen-recording interviews and Instagram posts, sends officers a profane message and says they make smart remarks when they stop him.

Costa Mesa's GB Drako (@gb_drak0) says the city's police aren't just watching his neighborhood. He says they're watching his content too.

In a clip Juice Unlocked Clips posted Nov. 28, 2025, from his interview with Foo Community, Drako said officers had been keeping tabs on what he puts out online. The post's caption said he spoke on Costa Mesa police "trolling his hood."

Screen recordings and Instagram

The start of the clip is hard to make out. Drako told a story involving a probation officer and someone he knows, in which, he said, the gang unit had screen-recorded interviews and Instagram posts and shown them off. His reaction, in his words: "I was like, what the f*​**?"

The interviewer then asked if he had a message for police in case they were watching. Drako's answer, as the caption put it, was to tell them to "get off my d-ck."

“I was like, what the f***?”

Talk on the street

Asked whether officers troll him when they pull up, Drako first said, "Nah, not that." But when the question turned to smart remarks, he said yes, and that officers had told him and his people they are "dead."

These are his claims, made in an interview. The clip does not include a response from the Costa Mesa Police Department, and Juice Unlocked did not independently verify the encounters he described.

“You got a message for them if they're watching?”

More from the interview

A week later, on Dec. 5, 2025, Juice Unlocked Clips posted another cut from the same Foo Community sit-down, in which Drako answered critics of his viral talk about fighting at the OC Fair. The full interview is on @podcastfoocommunity.

“You stay f***ing, trying to see every, everything that I do, you know?”
