Drag Race Star Chi Chi DeVayne Has Passed Away

'RuPaul's Drag Race' star Chi Chi DeVayne has passed away.

The self-portrayed bayou princess Chi Chi DeVayne who was just 34, passed away on Thursday. In 2018, she was diagnosed with scleroderma which is an autoimmune condition where the connective tissues of the body start to scar and harden. She was admitted to a hospital in Shreveport in Los Angeles. Chi Chi was a part of the reality show “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” and competed in 2016 and 2018. She won many hearts with her splits and high kicks in the show. The classically trained dancer was a delight to watch and charmed the audience with her kind and beautiful personality. Earlier, in 2020 she was admitted for suspected kidney failure and after that, she was admitted again for pneumonia. After that, she asked her fans to pray for her and said she will soon be back fit and healthy.
