Controversies In November 2015, Milski came under criticism after posting statements on his Facebook page that linked migration with drug dealing in his hometown of Cologne, particularly around the Hohenzollern Bridge. In this context, Milski referred to drug dealers as "Dealerpack", which was described by some media outlets, particularly the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, as xenophobic statements.

In early 2021, he was again publicly criticized for comments he made on the television program Die letzte Instanz. Following a repeat broadcast on January 29, 2021, a controversy arose surrounding the eighth episode of the program, in which Milski and other guests, among other things, opposed the renaming of Zigeunersauce.
