RuPaul’s Drag Racehas already presented different types of drag queens across 17 seasons.
She told EW:
“I was her sort-of drag daughter.
I always saw her as my drag mom and mentor, but things changed when I got cast.

Weve had our ups and down.
When I auditioned, we werent talking.
Nina, however, “kind of didn’t,” which made Lucky mad.
“She was a support system when we started talking again.
I didnt have time for that.
I went, filmed, came back, I called her again, but I got so busy.”
The whole thing got a little bit “messy” when Nina unfollowed Lucky on social media.
However, despite everything, Lucky remains a Nina BoNina Brown fan.
I spoke to her like, three days ago, actually, after months of not talking.
I just want to be cordial.
Were cordial, I think.
I dont mind, though, Im not sitting here sobbing about it.
It is what it is!
I still have a lot of respect for her and respect for her art.
Im always going to be a fan.
But, I dont know, drag daughter/mother?I consider myself to be her drag abortion.
I say that in a fun way!”
Unfortunately, the third episode (titled Monopulence!)
saw Lucky struggling during the design challenge, which she claims is way beyond her element.
The challenge, sadly, sent Lucky home, making her the first Season 17 queen tosashay away.
Season 17 airs Fridays at 8:00 p.m. onMTV.
Previous seasons are available to stream onParamount+andWOW Presents Plus.
