It's just bad makeup. The worst I've ever seen on the show.

It is bad make-up, though. If this guy had a choice of who to perform as, it might have been a good idea to pick a different musician rather than Drake, because he didn't pull this off terribly well.
People are oversensitive about the racial angle of this stuff, but at the same time, it really does look dumb.

As one example: Bruce Lee would've been far superior in terms of combat prowess, but David Carradine was in the end; the better pick overall- for the character role of Kwai Chang Caine.

It's chosen in a lottery in the preceding episode.

However, it can be insulting if you make it look trashy or cheap. People should make a decent effort to present the other race/culture/person they are impersonating in a dignified way. Dressing up as a black celebrity and putting some effort into actually looking like them and capturing what you think is cool about them? Fine. People also do that dressing up as white celebrities. Wearing a low-quality crudely-made costume that relies on caricature and stereotypes, no. If you are going to dress up as another race, take the time to make it look decent.
I saw a story from the US about a case where someone had dressed up as Beyonce for Halloween, and she had done a decent job of making it look good, and I found myself thinking, "How is that so very different than dressing up as Madonna?" On the other hand, if you dress up as an uglier skankier more ghetto version of Beyonce, that's getting racially offensive.
If you're dressing up as Beyonce because you think Beyonce is cool, then you want to look like the real one, right? Imitation is the highest form of praise. But mockery is not the same thing.
