What’s Up With Druski Doing ‘White-Face’ Again? Reactions To The Black Comedian’s NASCAR Fan Parody Explained

Druski^[1] has done it again— literally. The comedian stepped back into “white face,” this time as a NASCAR superfan who’s having way too much fun at the races.

The latest sketch has blown up far beyond Druski’s first time transforming himself into a caucasian man, all the way down to the sunburn. Here’s what the internet had to say about the comedian’s latest antics^[2].

Druski, best known for viral sketches that live on TikTok, Instagram, and X, first unleashed his “white” makeup in May 2025. In a video titled “The WhiteBoy that’s accepted by the Hood,” Druski walked around town in pale white makeup and red hair, like he was a ginger kid who had acclimated to life in a Black community.

The video showed this version of Druski blending into Black spaces with ease, dipping up his friends, walking a pitbull, dodging cops for no reason, and in the end, retreating home to a suburban white family who just don’t understand him.

On September 2nd, 2025, he posted a follow-up. This time, he turned into a “proud American” NASCAR fan. On top of wearing realistic caucasian makeup, he wore a mullet, overalls, tattoos, and sported a farmer’s tan and an American-flag cowboy hat.

He tailgated with other NASCAR fans, sang “Born in the U.S.A. in a typical Southern accent, and at points, play-acted racism by spitting at the feet of Black attendees and calling them “boy.”

The video was posted to TikTok, and Instagram on September 2nd, where it gathered over 7 million and 19 million views, respectively. On Twitter / X, the video gathered over 230 million views and 700,000 likes in three days.

How Did Internet Users React To Druski’s ‘White NASCAR Fan’ Skit?

The September sketch set off another round of debate. Theo Von jumped in first, tweeting on September 2nd, “Wowwww. Anyone do hair and m/u? hit my dms. i feel a jheri curl coming on. 🌚” His post collected 22 million views and 170,000 likes in three days, and led many people to believe that Druski may be on his way to successfully baiting Theo Von or another white comedian into doing Black face.

The video also had many people marveling at the prowess of the person responsible for turning Druski “white” with just makeup and prosthetics. Makeup artist Kaylee Kehne-Swisher^[9], whose credits include the film Weapons and Guardians of the Galaxy, was soon identified as the talent behind the Druski NASCAR sketch, with a post by @NinaSerafina gathering over 70,000 likes.

Funnily enough, just days after Druski’s NASCAR fan sketch went live, fans found a white car fanatic from the South who looked just like Druski’s “patriotic” avatar. On September 4th, TikToker @papawspissbucket invited Druski to a demolition derby in Kentucky called “Tuckfardia,” with viewers noticing his uncanny resemblance to Druski’s “white” persona, and pushing the clip to 7 million views and 1 million likes in a single day.

That same day, Druski shared a Fox News segment covering the skit, joking, “The fact that this Skit made it on the NEWS?!” Meanwhile, user @Hibzster compared it to Druski’s earlier “White Boy in the Hood” video, asking, “why this skit didn’t make it to the news lmao,” and gathering over 190,000 likes in a day.
