Jake Paul is facing backlash after saying on Theo Von’s podcast that he’s considering doing a “blackface” response skit following Druski’s viral “whiteface” parody of Erika Kirk.
Paul called Druski’s skit “hilarious” and criticized fellow Republicans for being upset by it, arguing that “this is what comedy is.” He went further, saying he’s been contacting makeup artists to create his own version — “go full on darker and do it back” — framing it as leveling the playing field.
Theo Von echoed the sentiment during the discussion, referencing past controversies involving public figures and questioning what he sees as inconsistent standards around race and comedy.
The comments have quickly sparked intense debate online, with critics pointing out the long, deeply offensive history of blackface, while others argue about boundaries in modern comedy and whether “anything goes” still applies.Jake Paul is facing backlash after saying on Theo Von’s podcast that he’s considering doing a “blackface” response skit following Druski’s viral “whiteface” parody of Erika Kirk.
