Comedian Druski has once again found himself at the center of online controversy after releasing a skit that many fans are calling his most provocative yet. The 30-year-old entertainer, whose real name is Andrew Desbordes, went viral this week after debuting a so-called “white face” performance at a recent NASCAR race — and the internet has been anything but quiet about it.
In the now-viral clip, which has already surpassed 52 million views on X (formerly Twitter), Druski transforms himself with startling accuracy into what he describes as a stereotypical “redneck” NASCAR fan. Using extensive makeup and body paint, he darkens freckles, reddens his cheeks, and paints his entire body a pale Caucasian tone. To heighten the effect, he even adds a farmer’s tan sunburn across his chest and arms — a detail that many fans said made the portrayal almost unsettlingly realistic.
The comedian fully committed to the bit, completing the look with a scruffy mullet, a bushy beard, a shirtless pair of overalls, and tattoos of the American flag sprawled across his torso. Topping it all off was a flashy cowboy hat decorated with Old Glory. In the skit, Druski exaggerates a southern drawl as he mingles with NASCAR tailgaters, chugging Budweisers, blasting Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA,” and hamming up the image of a loud, patriotic race fan.
But it wasn’t just the visual transformation that stunned audiences — it was the content of the interactions. In one of the most controversial moments, Druski spits on the ground at the feet of a Black passerby. Later, while driving a truck, he pulls up beside another Black man and sneers, “You lost, boy?” before telling him to “find something safe to do” in an unmistakably hostile, racially charged tone.
These moments sparked immediate debate online. While many praised Druski for his boldness and his attention to detail — with one fan commenting, “The white skin is one thing… but adding the farmer’s tan is going above and beyond” — others accused the comedian of crossing a line by leaning into racial stereotypes. Critics argued that the parody not only perpetuated negative depictions of white southern fans but also trivialized the very real racism Black Americans have historically faced in spaces like NASCAR.
For Druski, who has built a career around sharp satire and exaggerated social skits, the viral clip is another reminder of how thin the line between comedy and controversy can be. Whether viewed as biting satire or offensive caricature, the performance has undeniably cemented itself as one of the most talked-about comedy moments of 2025.
