Kylie Sonique Love Was Recovering From An Injury While Drag Race All Stars 8 Was Filming
It’s no secret that Kylie Sonique Love is a fan-favorite winner from the spinoff drag series. In a now-deleted tweet, Love reflected on her two-year reign as the season six winner and expressed what she feels for the then-upcoming Finale of season eight.
“After reining almost two years as [the] RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 6 winner, I have to say it’s been such an honor to be inducted in the Hall of Fame with such amazing queens. I’m so excited to see who will be joining us. Are you #TeamJimbo or #TeamKandy?” she wrote.
A fan then replied to her tweet, stating that she could’ve been a great Lip Sync Assassin and a competitor of a future season. In turn, Love didn’t shy away from replying, explaining why she couldn’t accept the role.
“I was asked to do it, but I had an injury. I was supposed to do ‘Jumpin’, Jumpin’. Can’t do no jumping with a f’d up leg. Maybe next time,” she wrote.
Apparently, Love was the first choice to appear as the Lip Sync Assassin for “Jumpin’, Jumpin’” by Destiny’s Child. With her non-availability, Canada’s Drag Race winner Priyanka took her place.
