Last week, the sudden feud between former Drake & Josh costars Drake Bell and Josh Peck took fans by surprise, and now their fictional younger sister has weighed in.
Miranda Cosgrove, who played the boys’ younger sister Megan on Drake & Josh before going on to star in her own hugely popular show, iCarly, spoke briefly about her former big brothers and their tiff.

Up Next: Josh Peck Gets Married, Doesn’t Invite Drake Bell
As first reported by Buzzfeed, a reporter asked Miranda if she attended Josh’s wedding, and she replied, “Um, no, I didn’t go.”
She added, “I’m just happy for Josh. I hope he has a good marriage. It’s so crazy to me – so many of my friends that were on Nickelodeon with me are married now.”
This next part is where it gets really interesting. Miranda goes on to talk about how often she sees her former co-stars and she drops this… “I only see them once in a while. I’m going to Drake’s birthday in a few days.”
So, she didn’t go to Josh’s wedding, but she is going to Drake’s birthday party. She may not be taking an “official’ stance on the feud, but that’s a pretty glaring endorsement of Drake right there.
More: Josh Peck Opens Up About The State Of His Friendship With Drake Bell
When news broke last week that Josh Peck had gotten married and not invited Drake Bell, people were genuinely surprised, and then the situation escalated.
The whole thing started when Josh Peck got married on June 17th, and didn’t invite Drake. Josh did, however, invite other former co-stars.
A source said, “Drake was upset that [Drake & Josh producer] Dan Schneider was there. Because he and Josh were friends years ago, he thought he would have gotten an invite, even though they never talk.”
Feeling slighted, Drake tweeted out, “True colors have come out today. Message is loud and clear. Ties are officially cut. I’ll miss you brother.” He also wrote, “Loyalty is key. ALWAYS remember where you came from.”
All tweets have since been deleted.
Once he heard about the Tweets, Josh reportedly got upset.
Someone close to the situation said that “Josh was really hurt,” by Drake’s tweets, and then added, “They aren’t close anymore and Josh had a very small wedding.”
This brings us closer to the real reason why it seems Josh left Drake off of the invite list.
Allegedly, the two haven’t had a close relationship in a long time, and it’s even said that they haven’t spoken personally in years.
Per an inside source, “At Josh’s wedding this weekend some guests were asking Josh Peck where Drake was. Josh told everyone that he and Drake hadn’t spoken in years. They would tweet each other back on social media a couple times a year, but never actually spoke.”
Essentially, it sounds like this whole feud boils down to Josh and Drake simply having different perspectives on the state of their friendship.
