“Whatcha Packin'”: Michelle Visage Sits Down With This Week’s Eliminated Queen

"I was gooped, gagged, booped!”

 Consider our edges officially snatched.


 In the latest episode of Whatcha Packin’, squirrel friend Michelle Visage talks to this week’s axed RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant, Aja, about his season 9 journey—and why he’s so glad he didn’t make the cut after auditioning for an earlier season.

The Brooklyn native also discusses growing up queer in a rough ’hood where he got regularly harassed in the streets. “It was really hard,” he says, “but it also toughens you up.”


Aja, who had a legendary Untucked read remixed into a dance track, says he ultimately let himself down. “I expected more from myself,” he says. “I just feel like I should’ve had a better attitude. I was also just really intimidated—not by the girls but just the entire competition, and I didn’t expect that.”
