Ra’jah & Kameron's All Stars 6 Lip Sync Is Stirring Up Some Drama

Last week’s episode ofRupaul's Drag Race All Stars 6 saw the top five transforming themselves into characters inspired by the Drag Tots series. It was Ra’jah O’Hara’s Iseeya Queen that put her over the top and earned the queen her second maxi challenge win. 

After the win, O’Hara faced off with the episode’s lip sync assassin, Karmeron Michaels, and they lip synched for their legacy to “Boom Clap” by guest judge Charli XCX. Both O’Hara and Michaels have shown time and time again that they’re forces to be reckoned with when it comes to performing, as both are proven entertainers. So it raised some eyebrows when the lip sync was, well, just kind of OK. 

Most fans blamed the song selection. While “Boom Clap” may be a bop, fans reasoned that it's not a great lip sync song, especially considering Carli XCX’s catalog of bangers. 

Some fans with more conspiratorial minds saw the lip sync and wondered if perhaps O’Hara — who made it clear she was struggling with the choice of who to eliminate — might have thrown the lip sync to avoid having to give one of her sisters the boot. But O’Hara was quick to set the record straight. “No I didn’t ‘throw’ that lip sync, some songs we just don’t vibe with (no shade) and tbh I didn’t expect to win the challenge (self doubt) so I wasn’t fully prepared!” she tweeted. 

When a viewer on Twitter responded that Ginger had managed to make her lip sync to “Sugar Walls” work in their “humble opinion,” O’Hara clapped back. “Good for her! You should stay in that place ‘humble viewer’ and keep your commentary to those that can speak for the situation! But I’m just speaking as a ‘humble participant’.”

“The job was completing the assignment, I did that! I got the best grade (the win) in the class in fact! And to your point you can def go to work tomorrow and take off if you don’t feel the vibe, it called Sick days… PTO… don’t compare ‘us’ cuz we aren’t the same!” she added.  

Case closed. Or is it? 

O’Hara isn't the only one speaking up about what went down on the All Stars stage last week. Michaels too spoke up about the experience on social media. In a since-deleted Instagram caption, Michaels shared that she was “hurt, disgusted, and devastated by the entire situation, Call me dramatic, I don’t give a f*ck.”

“Every girl looks forward to coming back and having their moment to shine. I feel cheated. And worst of all, I said yes and agreed to do it… which is something I have to deal with now and will take me a very long time to get over. 

“If I could go back in time I never would have stepped foot on that stage. I know my worth and my talent and I feel like I was used for some quick cheap storyline,” she wrote.

Michaels said she would be taking some time away from social media until she was in better spirits and ended the tweet saying: “And fuck that stupid song.”

While you might think that was the end of it, the “I was used for some quick cheap storyline” bit has some fans on Twitter calling rigga morris! Some believe that what Michaels is alluding to is that she was brought on specifically to eliminate her friend Eureka after Yara Sofia alleged something similar happened when Jessica Wild’s lip sync date was moved to allow her to eliminate Yara, and the producers could get a storyline of the assassins sending their close friends home. 

We may not know who’s going to be joining the hall of fame — or if what that “game within the game” twist we've all been waiting on will be — but one thing’s certain: This season is bringing the drama on and off the screen.
