'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 12: Nicki Minaj appears as first guest judge, fans want her as a permanent one
'RuPaul's Drag Race' premiered on Friday night with Nicki Minaj as the first guest judge of Season 12 and fans want her to return as a permanent judge.
The first set of queens sashayed into the workroom ready for the drama and to battle it out against each other to come out on top and win the title of America's Next Drag Superstar, $100,000, a crown, and a year-long supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics.
With an overall of 13 contestants appearing this season, RuPaul Charles revealed that we will be having two premieres. The first set of contestants we were introduced to during the first premiere were — Brita, Gigi Goode, Nicky Doll, Heidi N Closet, Widow Von'Du, Jackie Cox, and Crystal Methyd.
The girls were given two tasks, a mini task where they had to walk the runway in spring and fall looks. The major challenge this week was for them to perform a rap as an introduction to their rap persona based on a new song titled, 'I'm That B*tch'.
The only song worth putting “Stupid Love” on pause for TBH 🎶🔥
