Social media influencer targets NASCAR in whiteface skit"},"content":{"rendered":"

Social media influencer Druski<\/a> \u2014 who found himself ensnarled in the drama surrounding disgraced former music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs<\/a> in early spring \u2014 once again finds himself in a bit of hot water.<\/p>\n

Will this most recent controversy lead to Druski’s cancelation? Here’s what Druski did to earn calls for his cancellation.<\/p>\n

What did Druski do?<\/p>\n

Druski, known for some edgy social media<\/a> work, posted a video on X on Tuesday, Sept. 2 of himself in whiteface and in a full-body costume targeting stereotypical race fans.<\/p>\n

Published reports<\/a> indicate Druski filmed the skit at Darlington Speedway during the Cookout Southern 500 race.<\/p>\n

Druski apparently made the post to promote the Coulda Fest<\/a> tour, which begins on Friday, Sept. 26 in Toronto and stops in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center on Saturday, Oct. 11.<\/p>\n

“The comedian showed up to a NASCAR race in full whiteface, mullet, farmer\u2019s sunburn, tattoos, overalls, and a cowboy hat, embodying a caricature of a beer-chugging ‘proud American,’ read the Grio’s account<\/a>. “And the kicker? Nobody around him seemed to notice.<\/p>\n

“In the video, he belts out ‘Born in the U.S.A.,’ clinks beers with strangers, smokes with a woman on his lap, and even spits at the feet of Black attendees.,” Grio’s take continued. “He plays up the stereotype of a Republican<\/a>, flag-waving patriot so convincingly that people embrace him as one of their own.”<\/p>\n

Did Druski get canceled over whiteface skit?<\/p>\n

So far, it doesn’t appear that Druski’s whiteface skit earned him any sponsorship or tour cancelations, but it has sparked a a spirited conversation online.<\/p>\n

Druski himself addressed the growing murmur regarding his possible cancelation in an Instagram post. Druski doesn’t actually speak in the video, but is shown exiting what appears to be the backroom of a ballroom while lighting a cigarette in an obnoxiously exasperated fashion:<\/p>\n

Who is Druski?<\/p>\n

Druski, born Drew Desbordes, is a Maryland native who gained fame from his comedy and overall social media presence.<\/p>\n

Druski is known for skits on Instagram<\/a> and TikTok<\/a>, where he plays over-the-top, relatable characters that parody different personalities, like overconfident rappers, fake promoters, and wild family members.<\/p>\n

Druski’s fame skyrocketed when he started collaborating with celebrities like Drake, Jack Harlow, and 21 Savage, and has featured in music videos and even launched his own mock record label,\u00a0Coulda Been Records<\/a>, where he scouts talent on Instagram Live.<\/p>\n
