They told Gay Star News, “I just said to my friends, ‘How iconic would it be if I did a death drop? All my friends were into it. So when I got up there, and all friends were cheering, I just thought let’s do it. The crowd screamed and cheered.”
Twitter is having the best reactions to the video that has made its rounds through all of gay twitter:

According to their Gay Star News interview, they hopes to grow into a full-time drag career.
When asked about potentially being on Drag Race UK, they said: ”It’s such a good show. A lot of young people these days are really into it. I also do think the platform would give me a good opportunity to broaden my horizons. But I’m not going to apply until I’m ready.”
They also used her instagram to thank Gay Star News for the feature. They currently has over 1,000 articles.
