10 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Queens Who Have Conquered YouTube

The Queens of YouTube!

Over the years, several queens have said that the key to longevity post-RuPaul’s Drag Race is finding your own audience and building a platform for yourself. While that is easier said than done, many former contestants have managed to find incredible success in the fashion industry, as touring performers, starting their own businesses, and creating content for YouTube.

At this point in time, it’s virtually impossible to navigate YouTube without seeing content created by a wide variety of drag performers – many of whom have competed on Drag Race. And to that, we say, “Thank gawd!” With so many incredible drag entertainers creating content, it’s time to compile a list of Drag Race alumni who are truly conquering YouTube.

Scroll through to check out some of the RuPaul’s Drag Race queens who are incredibly successful on YouTube.

Delta Work

Delta Work's former podcast with Raja, Very That, has evolved into the huge phenomenon known as Very Delta – a podcast and digital talk show that regularly accumulates hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube. Without a doubt, Very Delta is one of the most essential and entertaining talk shows of our time... point blank period!

Willam & Alaska (MOM Podcasts)

The Very Delta series is produced by Moguls of Media (MOM), an entertainment conglomerate founded by Willam and Alaska. Besides cohosting the Race Chaser podcast, Willam and Alaska are also executive producers of all shows under the MOM umbrella.

Individually, these Drag Race superstars have also found a lot of success on YouTube. Willam's channel has over 935,000 subscribers, and Alaska's channel has surpassed 418,000 subscribers as of this writing.

Bob The Drag Queen & Monét X Change (Sibling Rivalry)

Bob The Drag Queen and Monét X Change have created the massive Sibling Rivalry empire on YouTube and Patreon, which has even led to a joint tour for these two Drag Race winners. On YouTube, the official Sibling Rivalry channel currently has 207,000 subscribers.

It is also worth noting that Bob is massive on her standalone YouTube channel (523,000 subscribers as of this writing). Bob's channel consists of her original music videos, tutorials, Purse First Impressions videos, interviews, and episodes of Town Hall: A Black Podcast alongside Peppermint.

Trixie Mattel & Katya

Between digital shows like UNHhhh (produced by WOW Presents Plus) and I Like To Watch (produced by Netflix), Trixie Mattel and Katya have accumulated millions and millions of views on their videos shared on YouTube. In fact, some of their most popular videos have reached over 7 million views each.

Trixie is also a YouTube legend with her standalone YouTube channel, which has 1.94 million views right now. On the channel, Trixie shares her music videos, Trixie Cosmetics announcements and tutorials, interviews, collabs, and even personal vlogs from time to time.

Yuhua Hamasaki

Yuhua Hamasaki has created a huge platform for herself on YouTube through the Bootleg Opinions series of videos, where she reviews different episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race along with special guests. As of this writing, Yuhua's YouTube channel has over 67,000 subscribers.

Maddy Morphosis

One of the most recent Drag Race queens to conquer YouTube is Maddy Morphosis, who has already reached 89,600 subscribers on her channel. All of this success is thanks to Maddy's interview series, Give It to Me Straight, where she features different drag entertainers and interviews them with her straight-to-the-point (pun intended) sense of humor.

Gottmik & Violet Chachki

Despite also being a somewhat new addition to YouTube, Gottmik and Violet Chachki’s NoGorge channel has already surpassed 118,000 subscribers. There's an undeniable chemistry between these two BFFs, who deliver on comedy, fashion lewks, and being their true unfiltered selves.

Jaymes Mansfield

With 191,000 subscribers, Jaymes Mansfield's YouTube channel is another huge success story for a Drag Race queen. While her channel had already been growing over the years since Jaymes appeared in season nine, she welcomed even more subscribers after competing on All Stars 8.

Jan

Jan is also among the new batch of Drag Race queens who are podcasting and creating content for YouTube and Patreon. Besides the recent talk-show-style episodes from her Unpacked podcast series, Jan had already grown her YouTube channel with music videos shared after her reality TV debut on Drag Race season 12. Currently, Jan's channel has over 41,000 subscribers – and nothing's going to stop this queen from pushing farther into the mainstream than any queen before!

Pearl

Right now, Pearl's YouTube channel has a whopping 288,000 subscribers. Even though she has seemingly taken a break from posting new content, Pearl's vlogs, tutorials, and sketches have been very popular among Drag Race fans over the years.
