ORLANDO | Local drag icon Ginger Minj will be one of 13 queens to sashay their way back to “RuPaul’s Drag Race” as a part of the cast for “All-Stars 6.”
The “Queen Ruveal” came from a livestream on the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” YouTube channel May 26.
Minj, who previously appeared in “Drag Race” season 7 and “All-Stars 2,” will be joined by season 2’s Kylie Sonique Love and Pandora Boxx, season 3 and All-Stars 1’s Yara Sofia, season 4’s Jiggly Caliente, season 5’s Serena Cha Cha, season 6’s Trinity K. Bonet, season 9 and 10’s Eureka!, season 11’s A’Keria C. Davenport, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, Scarlet Envy and Ra’jah O’Hara, and season 12’s Jan.
“It’s a new day, it’s a new me, and I’m feeling good,” Minj said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “I think that, in the past, I got so bogged down in friendships that I didn’t focus on me and what I was there for. This time going in, I’ve been in the game for a better part of a decade with ‘Drag Race,’ and I know a lot more about me and myself, and I’m comfortable with me, so I don’t have to rely on other people.”
Minj also took to Twitter to tell her fans of the news.
“I am so excited to be back home for @rupaulsdragrace #allstars6 … I’m literally shaking from excitement to show all my #glamourtoad and #froganista family my whole heart! Red heartRed heart Tune in to @paramountplus and @wowpresentsplus for all the tea!” she tweeted.
