Comedian Druski<\/a> knows how to put on a show on social media, but his latest prank may be his boldest yet.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old, real name Drew Desbordes, recently attended a NASCAR event in full disguise as a white Southern patriot. We’re talking complete transformation: fake tan lines, a mullet, arm tattoos, a bushy beard, denim overalls, and an American flag cowboy hat.<\/p>\n

In a skit shared with his 10 million Instagram followers, Druski appears to blend in seamlessly \u2013 belting out ‘Born in the USA<\/a>‘ from his car, clinking beers with fellow racegoers, and even sharing a cigarette with a woman perched on his lap. In a more controversial moment, he\u2019s seen spitting at the feet of a Black man.<\/p>\n

“That Guy who is just Proud to be AMERICAN,” Druski quipped<\/a> as his caption, followed by a string of laughing and crying emojis. <\/p>\n

The footage inevitably went viral, with one hailing it as “the highest level of performance art this generation will ever witness”.<\/p>\n

Many flocked to the clip, confessing they had no idea it was Druski behind the disguise. “Give his makeup team a raise. Holy s***,” one wrote.<\/p>\n

Another reiterated, “Whoever did the makeup, God bless you”.<\/p>\n

A third added: “The way the makeup artist ate on this look is Critical Fire. They got the sunburn and everything!”<\/p>\n

Though not everyone saw the funny side \u2013 some accused Druski of “whitefacing”, sparking backlash online. <\/p>\n

He later addressed the controversy with a tongue-in-cheek Instagram post, writing<\/a>: \u201cAM I CANCELLED ?????\u201d<\/p>\n

Unbothered by the backlash, Druski is seen in the clip lighting a cigarette and strolling through a studio to the sound of James Brown\u2019s ‘It\u2019s a Man\u2019s Man\u2019s Man\u2019s World’.<\/p>\n
