Druski created quite a stir online after he transformed into a white man and went undercover at a NASCAR race for a shocking skit — and many celebrities are loving it.
In the now-viral video shared to his social media on Tuesday, the comedian revealed a mind-blowing transformation, appearing completely unrecognizable. Druski was covered in body makeup to make him appear Caucasian, along with a red sunburn and American flag tattoos. As shown in the clip, for his persona, Druski also donned overalls, a wig, and a cowboy hat, and could be seen with tailgaters, drinking beer, smoking cigarettes, and singing “Born in the USA,” all while using a Southern accent. He also spat at the feet of several Black men he encountered.
“That Guy who is just Proud to be AMERICAN 🇺🇸😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭,” the 30-year-old captioned his video, which he posted on X and Instagram.
