RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Kylie Sonique Love has revealed that she was asked to appear on an episode of All Stars 8.
The star was meant to perform to Jumpin’, Jumpin’ by Destiny’s Child as the 10th episode’s esteemed Lip-Sync Assassin, though was forced to decline the opportunity.
“I was asked to do it, but I had an injury,” Kylie told a fan on Twitter after they shared their hope she would return as an Assassin or to compete on a second season made up of former winners.
“I was supposed to do ‘Jumpin Jumpin’. Can’t do No Jumping with a f’d up leg.”
She rounded out her message with a simple, “maybe next time” – meaning we could see her show up in a future season of All Stars.
