Check Out The Mysterious Poster For 'RuPaul' Season 8
In a released video from Season 7 competitor Jasmine Masters on Thursday, the queen mentioned that the show has not only brought drag down, but it "f-cked up drag."
"Yes I was on the show just because I needed a godd-mn pay raise," Masters continued. "And I got tired of seeing b-tches come from out of town- this has nothing to those other girls- I'm just saying, I got tired of some of you b-tches coming to town not having eyelash glue, bobby pins and safety pins with duct tape and whatever you needed, but ya'll got it from me. And ya'll was making more than me."
Former 'RuPaul' Contestant Is Anxious For Casting Announcement
The former contestant then pointed out how one of the good things about being on the series was more opportunities to travel and meet new people. She also mentioned how it's for something she does since she is, after all, an entertainer. But as the series begins its new season, Masters went on about how she doesn't have that much respect for where the show currently stands.
"The show's been on now eight years and in eight years, the drag scene has really went downhill," she said. "It's just f-cked up. Now b-tches are wearing panties and bras on stage and thinking they are f-cking sickening because they've on the show."
"You can like what you like and I'm not knocking with people who want to express themselves in drag, but honey, that's not drag," she added. "That's not the drag I know about so you ask me the type of questions and I tell you I don't know, I'm not being funny."

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8 is expected to premiere this spring on Logo TV.
UPDATE: An earlier version of this post implied that Masters was deriding the show, RuPaul's Drag Race, itself for going downhill, when in fact she's critiquing the show's effect on the drag scene in the video and voicing her opinion that it has made it worse. The post has now been changed to better reflect that. Our bad.
