Druski goes viral for playing “white boy accepted by the hood” in new sketch
Druski has once again gone viral, this time for his latest sketch where he plays Preston — a “white boy that's accepted by the hood.”
The video, published over the weekend, features Druski in whiteface with lighter brown hair, tattoos, and streetwear as he moves through everyday scenarios with his group of friends, interacts with his girlfriend on Instagram, and has a humorous encounter with the police.
The sketch closes with Preston returning to his parents’ home, asking, “What the hell y’all cook for dinner?” prompting his mum and dad to remind him to drop the slang. The video has already amassed nearly 1.5 million likes, and has drawn reactions from stars like Anderson .Paak and Issa Rae.
