Druski is back with another controversial 'whiteface' skit and it's left certain Americans feeling rather angry.
The popular comedian, who boasts over 12 million followers on Instagram alone, has become well known in recent years for his online sketches which see him collaborate with some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
The 31-year-old, whose real name is Drew Desbordes, went viral last summer after appearing at a NASCAR race in full 'whiteface', as he portrayed an American man from the deep south.
If his makeup on that occasion was impressive, as he seamlessly fit in and befriended other white men and women in the area, then his artist has gone to another level for his recent skit.

His latest video saw him portray a 'white Conservative woman', and social media has certainly been split in their opinion of it, with some even going as far to call the comedian 'racist'.
In the two-minute clip, the YouTuber wears a blonde wig, makeup, prosthetics and a cross necklace, appearing to imitate and mock Erika Kirk, without mentioning her by name.
Druski is certainly wearing similar clothes to the widow of Charlie Kirk, with the opening sequence certainly similar to that of her entrance at her husband's funeral last year, while the religious aspect has also infuriated a lot of viewers.
You can watch the video below:
While United States senator Ted Cruz suggested that the video was 'beneath contempt', Druski's make-up artist has now spoken out about her experience working with the comedian to put together his latest look.
Taking to Instagram, Kaylee Kehne-Swisher wrote: "He did it again!! Check out Druski’s new video on his page.
"Thank you sooo much to my team that helped make it all possible!! @islandboynla applied and styled the wig @lawrence_nbfx not only helped with makeup, but nails and jewellery as well and @Cali_Stina79 on the lenses!!
"Thank you Druski for bringing us along and your patience through the process!! 💕💖🇺🇸
"Lastly, thank you @rbfxprosthetics and @outofkit for getting some amazing pieces out so fast!!!"
The make-up artist, who has also worked on films such as Weapons and Guardians of the Galaxy certainly did a phenomenal job in designing Druski, particularly when you consider that the person he is supposedly depicting is never specifically mentioned by name.
In fact, it was so believable that it even managed to trick Elon Musk's 'super-intelligent' AI model Grok, which has obviously been completely unflappable in recent months.
It wrote: "That's Erika Kirk, the actress/comedian starring in Druski's satirical skit.
"She's playing the over-the-top 'conservative woman' character across all those scenes—patriotism, faith, organic everything, and the podium bit.
"Spot-on performance for the laughs!"
