RuPaul's 5th consecutive Emmy 

In the video, RuPaul is seen winning the 5th Emmy in a row and thanking the Television Academy on behalf of VH1, World of Wonder and the incredible cast and crew of RuPaul’s Drag Race. In the acceptance speech, RuPaul said as he’s always mentioned, every time he bats his false eyelashes, he’s making a political statement. He continued that the only political statement that he wants to make is of love for the LGBT brothers and sisters, for 'black queens and brown queens and love for the United States of America where a little gay boy with nothing more than a pussycat wig and a dream can build an international platform that celebrates sweet, sensitive souls everywhere'. RuPaul went on to dedicate his award to the late artist Chi Chi DeVayne, who died at the age of 34, and prayed for her to rest in power and perfection. Ru Paul also asked the viewers to vote on November 3 and make the song, ‘The time has come for you to vote for your life’ as their ringtone. Many of his fans congratulated him on his big win while some flooded the post with hearts. Take a look.

Chi Chi DeVayne was an American drag queen who gained popularity in the eighth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She later got featured on many web series. Chi Chi DeVayne’s death was a tragic one as she died due to pneumonia while she was only 34 years old.
