In an exciting leap forward, *Canada's Drag Race* has announced its lineup and there's a major twist that's got everyone talking! This sixth season promises something new and exhilarating: a drag king joining in on all that fierce competition. It's a groundbreaking moment that continues pushing drag artistry forward in bold new ways.
Breaking ground in Drag Race history
It's been over 16 years since *Drag Race* first burst onto screens, showing off drag queens from around with their charisma and talent. But what's been missing? A spotlight on drag kings. Enter Johnny Jones, Montreal's own dynamic drag king alter ego from performer Velma Jones. Not only does Velma break new ground as an AFAB queen on Canada's edition, but she's also stepping up as a drag king like nobody's done before on this franchise.
In her *Meet The Queens* video, Velma's enthusiasm was contagious. She was thrilled about making "herstory" as Canada's first cis woman drag queen on this stage. And then there was more. "Think two-for-one: you've got Velma, and sometimes, here's Johnny," she shared with a spark. Velma's ready and determined: "I'm here, showing I can do what they can," she proclaimed with fierce confidence.
Spotlighting a diverse and talented cast
Season six isn't just about firsts; it's about talent in every shade and style. This lineup shines with performers bringing unique flair from every corner. One who stands tall? Saltina Shaker outta Ottawa. At just 29, she's conquered TikTok with a whopping 2.5 million followers. Among drag heavyweights like Bob The Drag Queen, Saltina's proving how social media can elevate drag's voice and performance.
And then there's Sami Landri from Moncton, who at 26 has already achieved internet stardom. Her videos are equal parts cultural insight and comedy, racking up millions in views and a legion who loves her snappy quips. She's truly a favorite in drag's online realm.
Also dazzling us are Van Goth from Toronto, PM from Vancouver, and Karamilk, another Toronto gem. This cast
