Druski, who has collaborated with rappers like Drake and Jack Harlow, made people do a double take with one of his skits.
The comedian showed up at a NASCAR race, looking completely unrecognisable as a stereotypical white American.
In the now-viral clip the 30-year-old had transformed with whiteface, a set of patriotic chest and arm tattoos and blue overalls into a southern redneck.
The YouTuber was standing on the sidelines on the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway for the event, even standing beside a racer Ty Gibbs with his hat on his chest as the professional driver struggles to hold in his laughter.
Netizens seemed largely impressed by the ginger wig he sported as well as the impressive racial transformation, with many of them praising his team for doing a great job with the makeover.
“Ngl your makeup artist needs a raise. That was incredible work,” one noted, while another added, “This is the most impressive whiteface I’ve ever seen. The makeup must have taken hours lmaoo”
Notably, this is not the first time Druski has gone viral for doing whiteface, and his prior attempt had caused waves on social media with people divided over if it was cultural appropriation.
What is whiteface?
Whiteface is the reversal of the much frowned upon blackface, which is used by a performer to portray an exaggerated version of the opposite race.
