Spill that tea, honey!
Earlier this week, celebrated drag queen Vicky Vox took to Twitter to call out Katy Perry for taking advantage of up-and-coming drag personas. Per Miz Vox’s rant on the social media site, the Chained To The Rhythm singer had been “begging” drag queens to be in her music video — but refused to pay them. WHAT??

Vicky dished online:
You know what fuck this … there’s a pop star begging drag queens to do a music video for two days with no pay, they own costumes and all

It wasn’t until we all said NOPE… that they said maybe there might be some budget. But they’ll get back to us tomorrow? No, fuck this.

You need to know today, you stressed that. Do you think we just like to prance around for sugarplum dreams? Bitch, THIS IS FUCKING WORK.

Whoa. Of course, the shade didn’t stop there as Vox reminded Russell Brand‘s ex that being a drag queen helps many of them pay their bills. She continued:
Drag queens should not have to beg you to value them. Not only is it insulting you asked them to value themselves as worthless…
— VICKY VOX (@TheVickyVox) July 12, 2017
You were going to USE them for your gain. Then say maybe when they say their time is valuable … you say maybe … NO!

Yes, I have receipts. I also don’t think the person whose video this is would be doing this on purpose. But, really tho, SHE KNOWS BETTER.

I’m so fucking hot. I’m tired of asking that people see me. Some people need to pay rent. They don’t make thousands a night.

Although, Katy wasn’t the only person Vox threw under the bus as she also dragged (below) some Rupaul’s Drag Race alums for agreeing to be in the vid with no pay.
HOWEVER, apparently drag race girls said they’d do it for free… and local girls said respect my time. Fame chasers vs paper chasers

We know what you’re probably thinking, “Vicky didn’t name Katy, specifically.” Well, we hate to break it to you, but the drag sensation did eventually tag Perry (below) in this rant AND let’s not forget about her Saturday Night Live performance where drag queens were featured. So, duh! Vox is talking about the hitmaker.
Yo, @katyperry .. just so it’s clear. I had love for you. Your team fucked up pic.twitter.com/Jv7i4N9xp5

And it seems Vox isn’t just exposing the Roar artist as she’s since ordered the pop starlet’s team to rectify the situation. The Chow Down performer warned:
Fuvk yo beef with a white bitch. You fucking wit queer bitches now. pic.twitter.com/I6f26e5asU

I gave y’all a day to fix this shit. pic.twitter.com/9k2v77Iaew

Snap! Snap!
We’re sure the chart topper’s team is currently scrambling to put a spin on this feud. Someone fetch us some popcorn, STAT!!
