“Did VH1 ask our clown asses to perform? Absolutely not. So you win.”
RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Aquaria has hit out at Bebe Rexha for calling her season 10 sisters “cold af”.
The Meant to Be star said she felt disrespected by Ru’s girls after meeting them backstage at VH1’s 2018 Trailblazer Honors.
“I met some of the contestants from RuPaul’s Drag Race and I wasn’t in hair and makeup so they didn’t know it was me and they were cold AF,” she tweeted.

Then, in response to a fan, Bebe said she was “so upset” because she was “obsessed with all of them”.
“I met them and I was so sad,” she continued. “And I was so excited and nice when I met them.”
Initially, Aquaria sent a heartfelt tweet to Bebe and apologised for her behaviour, saying she was “mushy brained”.
It’s okay sis. I get it. I was just really sad, cause I really love you guys, I just want to be you’re best-friend. 👭 https://t.co/E7jy8481qX

However, the season 10 champion later tweeted that she was being “too vague”, and said: “If you’ve ever met any of the 4 of us you’d know we don’t think we’re the shit or anything of that sort.”
She continued: “I don’t think any of us would intend to be rude or shady to any other performer and if people knew anything about us it’s that we are far more humble and real than anyone else would expect.
“We’re now on twitter complaining about the same thing everyone always tries to pit on drag queens that we’re stuck up bitches who don’t have time for the people who enjoy our work.
“Bebe tried to read and then backpedalled and got cute, new outlets and whatnot are talking about how she “exposed the top four” when in reality she just exposed that we couldn’t recognize her. Now there’s nasty headlines about us.”

Actually no, too vague. If you’ve ever met any of the 4 of us you’d know we don’t think we’re the shit or anything of that sort. We’re really just artists who were being swept through a crazy week in our lives where we nearly had a second to take things in. I was actually very

Grateful to have been invited to such a special event to honor some of the most positive influences on our community but also have/had so many things going through my head. Asia literaly couldn’t see shit because her face was covered and sometimes Kameron allegedly doesn’t say hi

But that’s okay too! I don’t think any of us would intend to be rude or shady to any other performer and if people knew anything about us it’s that we are far more humble and real than anyone else would expect. Instead of being grateful and enjoying the night

We’re now on twitter complaining about the same thing everyone always tries to pit on drag queens that we’re stuck up bitches who don’t have time for the people who enjoy our work. We were all so impressed with the performances at the trailblazers and so grateful to be included.

Plenty of people won’t recognize us out of drag and I always used to witness this personally so I understand how miss Bebe may have felt but we aren’t nasty bitches. Did VH1 ask our clown asses to perform? Absolutely not. So you win. I was actually very happy to meet you and

Also our day wasn’t just starting. We’d been rushing around grabbing garments last minute getting hair going to dance rehearsals and getting in full hair makeup and look BY OURSELVES so if we don’t notice u for a second we are so sorry. We don’t mean it the wrong way.

I’m not tryna fight and I’m also not one to just pop online and try to drag a group of artists in front of my fans so just kno we’re cool with u and loved ur performances and u think we’re evil villains because we didn’t suck ur toes

See and the thing is because miss Bebe tried to read and then backpedalled and got cute, new outlets and whatnot are talking about how she “exposed the top four” when in reality she just exposed that we couldn’t recognize her. Now there’s nasty headlines about us.

Shortly after being crowned America’s Next Drag Superstar, Aquaria dropped her incredible, Madonna-esque anthem, Burn Rubber.
In an interview with Billboard, Aquaria described the song as being “high intensity, high octane, very exciting, very sexy, very dark, very energetic”.
She added: “It’s definitely one of those song you can pump at the gym, pump at the club, pump on the MTA – it doesn’t matter where or when — it’s always time to burn rubber.”
