Druski's Shrewdly Hilarious 'Proud to Be American' Skit Might Just Be His Best and Most Daring Yet

Druski belts an oft-misunderstood Springsteen classic in the new video.

There’s some truly diabolical hilariousness afoot in Druski’s latest offering, which finds the recent Justin Bieber collaborator going undercover at a NASCAR race, complete with some impassioned belting of Bruce Springsteen’s misunderstood-by-idiots classic “Born in the U.S.A.”

“That guy who is just PROUD to be American,” Druski, who earlier this year channeled Playboi Carti on the Lil Yachty-featuring Coulda Been House theme song, wrote when sharing the skit. Quickly, everyone from Young M.A to Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden were quick to praise the new video, and for good reason. Shrewdly, Druski mocks the MAGA-y morons among us, notably going the extra mile with some shockingly transformative makeup and other disguise-minded physical tweaks.

But don't take our word for it. Catch the full video yourself up top and/or below.

In July, Druski made multiple appearances on Justin Bieber’s excellent seventh album SWAG, including on the “Therapy Session” skit that finds Bieber directly confronting the public’s often warped view of him in connection with his approach to social media. More recently, Druski found himself in headlines after playfully pretending to be Rod Wave at a show in Florida.

Later this month, Druski will kick off his Coulda Fest Tour in Toronto, launching a run that’s set to wrap in December with a stop in Atlanta. Bieber himself made an appearance in a recently released trailer for the tour, as did Chief Keef and Soulja Boy, among others.

As for “Born in the U.S.A.,” featured prominently in Druski’s new video, the song, off Springsteen’s 1984 album of the same name, has been woefully misunderstood for decades by America-obsessed doofuses not unlike the character featured in the skit. Widely considered one of the best songs ever written, the track is actually an astute and timeless criticism of Americanism penned from the perspective of a disillusioned veteran.
