The Josh-Drake controversy: Drake’s disappointment at ‘no invitation’ for Josh-O-Brien wedding and John Stamos’ jibe! Find details here!

Josh-Drake controversy!

American actor, musician, and producer John Stamos posted a picture on Instagram on 1st July which showed him with his ‘Grandfathered’ co-star Josh Peck on a beach.

Josh Peck was seen embracing John Stamos from behind. He stirred a Josh-Drake controversy! John Stamos captioned the photo:

“I got invited to the wedding and I didn’t even want to go. #Honeymoon,”

This was meant as a joke about the ongoing feud between the new bridegroom Josh Peck and his former ‘Drake and Josh’ co-star Drake Bell.

The wedding was the 17th June 2017 wedding of Josh Peck with Paige O’Brien in Malibu. The host also invited John Stamos’ longtime girlfriend, Caitlin McHugh to the wedding.

What is the Josh-Drake controversy?

Drake Bell and Miranda Cosgrove were not invited to this marriage ceremony. This was the basis of the Josh-Drake controversy. Drake Bell had voiced his disappointment at learning about the wedding from a third person.

He was also upset and angry that he did not receive an invitation to the wedding. The likes of Jason Nash (Peck’s Vine pal) and Dan Schneider (‘Drake and Josh’ producer) were also present at the wedding. He took to Twitter to make his unhappiness known to all.

Drake Bell tweeted:

“True colors have come out today. Message is loud and clear. Ties are officially cut. I’ll miss you brotha.”

Though Drake did not mention the names, it was clear that Drake Bell was talking about and referring to Josh Peck with whom he has a long-standing feud. He further added:

“Loyalty is key. ALWAYS remember where you came from,”

He soon deleted these tweets. Miranda Cosgrove, another costar of Josh and Drake was unperturbed. When asked by ‘Entertainment Tonight’ whether she had attended Josh’s wedding, she said laughingly:

“Um no, I didn’t go. I’m just happy for Josh — I hope he has a good marriage. It’s exciting.”

Though Josh Peck made no public statements on this issue, a source told US Weekly that some guests wondered about the whereabouts of Drake Bell.

The source said:

“Josh told everyone that he and Drake hadn’t spoken in three years. They would tweet each other back on social media a couple times a year, but never actually spoke,” 

The insider further went on to state:

“When Drake didn’t get invited to Josh’s wedding, he started tweeting all of those dramatic memes. Josh was really hurt. They aren’t close anymore and Josh had a very small wedding.”

He also mentioned that Drake had not even texted or congratulated Josh when he got engaged to Paige O’Brien in 2016.

The journey of Josh-Peck from their Nickelodeon days!

Josh Peck and Drake Bell starred in 4 seasons of ‘Drake and Josh’ series on Nickelodeon. They were seen as stepbrothers in the series while Miranda Cosgrove was their deceitful sister Megan.

The trio also acted in two TV films made out of this series. Thus Drake and Josh were together from 2004-2007. During these 3 years, the good friends were on the red carpet for the Kids’ Choice Awards as a pair.

In 2008, Drake and Josh also hosted the MTV Video Music Awards in LA.

But slowly they drifted apart since each got busy with his own life and career. However, in March 2014, they were again together at the Kids’ Choice Awards in LA and this time the duo was all grown-up.

In 2016, Drake made a guest appearance on Josh Peck’s comedy show ‘Grandfathered’. There were speculations that they may go for a ‘Drake and Josh’ remake, but this did not happen!

And now this controversy about Josh not inviting him to his wedding! Amidst all these Twitter taunts, Drake Bell was occupied with his shirtless photoshoot for ‘Flaunt’ magazine.

The magazine published his pictures on 20th June 2017. It shows the handsome actor’s well-toned body, six-pack abs, bulging biceps, and tattooed upper arms. One can say without any doubt that Drake Bell has grown from a child star to a major hunk!
