Drag Race Star Suzie Toot Shares Winnings with Kori King for a Heartwarming Reason
In the highly competitive world of drag, where every queen aims to snatch the crown and the accompanying cash prize, a moment of generosity has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Suzie Toot, celebrated for her electrifying performances and her recent victory in the Lip-Sync Lalaparuza, has shared a touching story about giving a portion of her winnings to fellow contestant Kori King.
As RuPaul’s Drag Race season 17 races toward its grand finale, excitement is at an all-time high. With fierce contenders like Lexi Love, Onya Nurve, Jewels Sparkles, and Sam Star vying for the coveted title of America’s Next Drag Superstar, the competition is fierce. However, amidst the glitz and glamour, it’s Suzie Toot’s act of kindness that has truly left a mark.
After a series of high-energy performances, Suzie emerged as the victor of the Lip-Sync Lalaparuza, a showdown designed to give previously eliminated queens a chance to shine. Her incredible talent and charisma earned her the title of "Queen of She Done Already Done Had Herses" along with a substantial cash prize of fifty thousand dollars.
In an exciting twist, the final lip-sync saw Suzie face off against Kori King, a talented performer in her own right. The pair had battled through numerous rounds, defeating formidable competitors such as Joella, Lucky Starzzz, Arrietty, Lana Ja'Rae, and Lydia B. Kollins. The climactic showdown featured a stunning performance to "APT." by Rosé and Bruno Mars, showcasing the queens’ remarkable skills and stage presence.
However, what happened next is the real story. Before stepping onto the stage for their final lip-sync, Suzie and Kori made a heartfelt agreement. They decided that no matter who won, the victor would share a part of their winnings with the runner-up. True to their word, Suzie transferred a thousand dollars to Kori, marking the transaction with a playful note: "I ate you up."
Suzie later shared this heartwarming gesture on her social media, posting a screenshot of the payment and adding, "Before the last lip sync, Kori and I shook hands and agreed the winner would give the other 1k." The gesture was met with widespread admiration from fans and fellow queens alike, who praised Suzie for her generosity and sportsmanship.
In a follow-up post, Suzie clarified, "For any lawyers around, I gave her that money before the 50k ever hit my account." This transparency further endeared her to fans, reinforcing the genuine nature of her actions.
As the countdown to the season finale continues, the top four queens are preparing for what promises to be the most spectacular showdown yet. With each contestant boasting a string of impressive performances, the battle for the crown is sure to be unforgettable. Fans eagerly await the finale episodes, airing Fridays on MTV in the US and WOWPresents Plus internationally.
For those who can't bear the thought of Drag Race ending, there’s good news. The highly anticipated All Stars 10 is just around the corner, promising more drama, charisma, and talent.
