![]() ![]() The drag veteran – who finally got on Drag Race with her ninth audition – is an actress, activist and performance artist, and is best known for her old school camp aesthetic, which we’ve not seen much of over the years, so we’re excited to see what she brings to the main stage. Like, hello? She was the first queen Adam Rippon ever saw live. Nina West is one of the most well-known drag performers in the United States. We are ready honey! Nina West (39) – Columbus, Ohio Mercedes says she’s going to give us “everything” this season. Yas honey! Mercedes Iman Diamond is the show’s first ever Muslim contestant, and is a force to be reckoned with due to her various pageant wins at Miss Gay 90’s and Miss City of the Lakes, as well as serving as second alternate to Miss Minnesota Continental. Merecedes Iman Diamond (31) – Minneapolis So far we’ve had family members of Monét, Kennedy, Sahara and now, we have a Montrese! If Kahanna’s lip-sync abilities are anything like her mother Coco’s, she’ll be the assassin of season 11. Like we said above, several of these queens have connections to legendary Drag Race alumni. Kahanna Montrese (25) – Las Vegas, Nevada Fun fact – she used to be a backup dancer for Peppermint. Honey also acted in off-Broadway shows such as The Orion Experience and For The Love of Honey, so we have a feeling she’ll be the one to beat. She’s a respected performer in the NYC drag scene and is best known for her high-energy lip-syncs and numerous pageant wins. Honey Davenport (32) – New YorkĪnother Davenport! NYC-based performer Honey is the drag mother of Monét X Change, niece of Kennedy and Sahara, cousin of fellow contestant A’Keria, and was also raised by Manila Luzon. However, she isn’t proficient in the art of blind darts, so she might struggle. Brooke Lynn Hytes (32) – Nashville, Tennesseeīrooke Lynn Hytes is the first Canadian queen to appear on RuPaul’s Drag Race – can you believe it’s taken this long? The performer previously won the title of Miss Continental and was a professional ballerina for over ten years, and is a very good squirrel friend of Kameron Michaels, so we’re expecting her to serve in a lip-sync. Except some sickening lewks from this New Jersey fish. Ariel Versace, however, currently has 120k followers on Instagram and is known by drag fans for her YouTube makeup tutorials and colourful array of wigs. Not many queens have a massive online presence before they’re announced for Drag Race. She refers to herself as “The Ruler”, so we can’t wait to see what this queen comes up with. The performer is the recipient of Miss Black Universe and Miss International Vogue, and boasts Drag Race All Stars 3 runner-up Kennedy Davenport and the late Sahara Davenport as her drag aunts, and fellow contestant Honey as her cousin. Davenport is ready to slay this competition – officially.
