Elimination interview with Keta Minaj
Keta - thank you for showing your Drag on the UK stage. What do you think it is about you that made you the perfect fit for the cast of drag race UK versus the world?
I think I have a different take on drag when it comes to looks. I’m not the typical glamazon. I like to play with gender. Give it a bit of a storyline, and make it a bit whimsical, fairytale, witchy with a sparkle of Tim Burton.
And of course I would be good competition for the girls.
What were your thoughts on the British/ Drag Race UK queens before you came?
They’re mostly known for their campy nature. They’re funny as hell. Personalities. British humour.
Did they teach you any new British words or phrases or likes?
I’m knackered.
If you could do it all over again, is there anything you would do differently?
Prepare better! Go in with a clear mind.
What was the highlight of your versus journey?
The Ball, even though I was stressing like hell, I was able to show of my own creations. This is what I love to do. Create art. Let people feel something with my drag.
Meeting Ru was also very impressive. I feel lucky I did.
How has Holland reacted to the competition?
The viewing parties were crazy, so much love from the Dutch people. Also on social media I get so much love from the Dutch but also from all over the world.
Who is your money on for the win?
Marina Summers
What’s next for Keta?
I’m gonna be in the UK Drag Race tour, I’m gonna be in Dutch show, Rotterdam Drag show, I’m gonna make more music.
