YouTuber reveals he managed to 'trick' everyone into thinking he was white in latest bizarre stunt

The content creator had many fooled at a NASCAR event as part of his latest skit

YouTuber Druski has caused an uproar online following his latest skit.

You might know the entertainer for his antics on Instagram Live or at celebrity sports events but Druski, real name Andrew Desbordes, made a name for himself with relatable skits.

It's arguably what he's best known for, along for a number of memes on social media that were created from the skits themselves.

The American content creator is just 30 and is reported to be worth millions, but this doesn't absolve him from controversy.

In fact, Druski's latest skit depicts him as an 'American patriot' attending a NASCAR event - in whiteface.

By playing the USA-loving character on his own and making a few racially-charged comments, it's fair to say that not all viewers were best pleased with the viral video.

The comedian could be seen completely covered from head to toe in white make-up, with extra detail even added to show a sun burn line, as well as a number of American flag tattoos and a convincing wig.

With many wondering how long it took him to gain the appearance, it's clear that he put in a lot of effort to achieve the look.

In the video itself, he can be seen singing Bruce Springsteen's 'Born in the U.S.A.' in his car to other people at the event, and even has a fake family in the video who he embraces and talks to, before sharing a cigarette with his 'wife'.

While shots of Druski emotionally standing for the national anthem and cheering on the drivers were funny enough, the moments that sparked controversy were when his character saw Black men walking past.



At first, he openly spits in front of a Black man as he passes his character while leaning up against a car, suggesting that he doesn't like Black people.

Then, he stops his car when seeing another Black man entering the event to watch the race, as he asks if 'he's lost' after spitting at him twice.

Many saw the funny side of the skit, which was taking the mick out of a group of people in the US who may come across like the character in one way or another, while others took offence to Druski's suggestions of racism and his portrayal of whiteface.

Regardless, the video has garnered over 164 million views on X and millions more on other platforms.

Taking to Reddit, one user wrote in response: "That make up is something else," with another adding: "Holy f*** the makeup is INCREDIBLE."

A third referenced Robert Downey Jr's blackface in 2008 hit Tropic Thunder, saying: "This is some of the best makeup I’ve ever seen honestly lol, this is higher quality than RDJ in Tropic Thunder. I wonder how much this cost."

A different user admitted: "I can’t believe this brother is almost pulling off this look lol. Usually that shit looks uncanny Valley AF."

Druski has since responded to some of the hate he's been receiving by posting a video captioned 'AM I CANCELLED ?????' where he walks with a suit to the tune of James Brown's 'It's a Man's Man's Man's World', while smoking a cigarette.

Nothing can stop this man.
