RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 8 queen Kandy Muse took to Twitter to set the record straight after fans accused her of being pushed by producers to do well on the show.

After placing safe in the first two challenges of All Stars 8, Muse finally secured a high placement for the three looks she served in the “Supermarket Ball Challenge.”

However, not everyone was happy about her success, with some viewers claiming that she was being “pushed” by producers. As a result, the outspoken queen took to social media to set the record straight.

“I get my first top placement after literally being safe for two weeks in a row and suddenly production is pushing me,” Muse wrote on Twitter. “B*tch, it ain’t my fault your fav wasn’t in the top, that ain’t got sh*t to do with me. Go cry about it.”

It didn’t end there, with a fan tweeting back: “It was hardly even a top placement I don’t know how you weren’t safe or low.”

it was hardly even a top placement i don’t know how you weren’t safe or low 💀

The season 13 runner-up clapped back immediately, posting a picture of the three looks she delivered in the latest episode and writing, "’It was hardly a top placement’ except... it was a top placement? Same silhouette or not – alone these are three strong looks that stand on their own. Go cry to your mother about it.”

There were also plenty of Drag Race fans who loved her looks, including one who commented, “Honestly, people need to drop the ‘it’s the Same silhouette’ comments! When certain queens do it, it’s ok, when others do it, it’s not ok! You looked great in all 3 looks. Keep being amazing and thank you for coming back to keep us entertained Kandy.”

Muse is aware she’s often perceived as a controversial queen. She told Entertainment Weekly last month, "I'm a polarizing character and that's completely okay. I'm always going to be the main character, whether you like it or not."
