The internet is already sounding off about Druski and his “conservative women” skit. On Thursday, he added fuel to the conversation with a photo dump. One photo in the post appears to be from his childhood, him and an older white man. And now the reactions aren’t just about his comedic skills or Erika Kirk, but also Druski’s own family! Meanwhile, he’s keeping his words to a minimum and promoting his other projects amid the mixed reactions.

Druski Asks The Question “Too Far” In Backlash Response
The comedian hasn’t said anything about the internet, but he has found similarities between his skit character and Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika. That hasn’t stopped the name-dropping, jokes, think pieces and old videos surfacing about Mrs. Kirk. Keep in mind, Druski didn’t name anyone in his skit. Still, his outfits, makeup, and scenarios in the video are being compared to Erika’s in the months since her husband’s death. As said, the reactions are all over the place! Some are catching the kiii, while others say he crossed the line. Also, some are trying to pull a reverse uno with “whiteface” comments.
On Thursday, Druski wrote in his IG caption, “TOO FAR???,” adding side-eye emojis. The post itself was a dump of photos of himself on set, with a kid, talking to Kevin Hart and dressed in his “conservative [white] woman” look. The last slide showed bio photos of white men in black sunglasses with the quote “Yeah, Druski, not funny anymore” above them. And the comment section? More than 30,000 have weighed in within a day.

Wait, Does He Have White Relatives?
Two of the photos in Druski’s IG dump include a photo of a blue-eyed, white man. One is a throwback photo of the man posing with a young Dru. It’s watermarked with what looks like December 7, 2002. That same man is seen in another photo holding a Billboard magazine with the comedian on the cover. Now, the internet is speculating Druski might have some close Caucasian heritage, though he hasn’t spoken on it. Could the man be his grandad? We’ll see if he tells. Meanwhile, social media isn’t waiting to speculate. Some reactions are even claiming Dru resembles the man.
“Oh the granddaddy ATE! This Chess not checkers heaux! 😭♟️,” @wvrthy commented under the comedian’s post.
“😭😭😭😭 This can’t be the way you introduce your white grandpappy,” @ladidaix added.
“The fact that you are mixed makes it even more meaningful because who better than you to pull it off 😭,” @_monibee wrote.
“Druski pulled the ‘it’s just a joke see I’ve got a White grandpa’ card lol well played sir♟️,” @_casanovaa said.
It’s worth noting this isn’t the first photos the comedian has shared of the man. In January 2023, he shared a photo of him and the man smiling near what looks like a kitchen counter. He asked his followers to caption the photo. It looks like it was taken on the same day as the childhood photo Druski shared on Thursday.
