About

Druski in White Face refers to skits posted by content creator and social media comedian Druski where he wears makeup to try and look like a caucasian person and parody "white" stereotypes. The first video showed Druski spoofing the idea of a "white boy" who is "accepted by the Hood." In the viral video, Druski can be seen wearing makeup on his face and arms to appear lighter, with many viewers describing his look as "White Face," a play on Blackface.

The video was posted in late May 2025, spawning memes showing Druski holding his finger to his mouth and going "Shhh," not unlike the Lucki Shhh meme. Various internet creators reacted to the sketch, including Theo Von, who wrote, "It's on nah! Lemme get my paint." In September 2025, Druski posted another "white-face" sketch, this time dressing as an over-the-top patriotic NASCAR fan. He employed the help of a professional makeup artist to give himself a realistic caucasian look, and posted videos tailgating with fans, singing "Born in the U.S.A.," and being bigoted to Black people. The video garnered renewed discussions about whether "white-face" can be equated to Blackface, and prompted another response from Theo Von, who tweeted, "i feel a jheri curl coming on. 🌚"
