  • Willam and Mistress Isabelle Brooks Go Head-to-Head in ‘Drag Race’ Drama Showdown

    Willam and Mistress Isabelle Brooks Go Head-to-Head in ‘Drag Race’ Drama Showdown

    What began as subtle shade has spiraled into full-blown digital warfare between RuPaul’s Drag Race royalty Willam and All Stars 10 standout Mistress Isabelle Brooks. The two queens, both known for their unapologetic opinions, razor-sharp wit, and fan-favorite chaos, are embroiled in an increasingly public and deeply personal back-and-forth that’s playing out in real time on YouTube. And trust, the library is wide open.

    Round One: Willam Throws the First Punch

    Willam has never been one to hold back, and in recent months, she’s taken aim at Mistress during podcast episodes, viewing parties, and social media posts. In a viral TikTok, Willam accused Mistress of being “a bully” and claimed she was kicked out of the Drag Race Season 15 group chat, on Christmas, no less. She doubled down, saying Mistress is “duplicitous and shady,” adding, “People want to go see queens that are fun, not glued to their phones backstage.”

    And yet, the usually fiery Mistress kept her lips sealed, until now.

    Round Two: Mistress Delivers a Precision Strike

    Earlier this week, Mistress broke her silence with a jaw-dropping 15-minute YouTube video titled The BEATUP feat Willam (Confronting My Biggest Fan). Not only is it a not-so-subtle parody of Willam’s long-running Beatdown series, it’s a no-holds-barred read of the queen who’s been name-dropping her all year.

    “I didn’t realize the power I had over him until many of you pointed it out,” Mistress begins, before diving into receipts, including alleged text messages and podcast invites from Willam. She accuses Willam of lying on podcasts, begging for collaborations, and misrepresenting their relationship for clout.

    Mistress also drags Willam’s comments about her wardrobe, “frumpadump t-shirts,” in Willam’s words, calling her a desperate attention-seeker with a selective memory. “Willam, you have lied on my name time, after time, after time,” she says, with screenshots from Reddit and tabloid stories in tow.

    Round Three: Willam Fires Back… Harder

    If Mistress thought she’d get the last word, Willam had other plans. In her latest Willam Wednesday upload, the veteran queen responds point-by-point with the kind of brutal honesty and snark that made her a legend.

    Willam claims Mistress has been playing both sides, publicly shading her while privately asking their shared manager for collaboration opportunities. “She wants to act like I’m obsessed with Drag Race,” Willam says, “but she’s the one constantly trying to work with me.”

    Addressing the DragCon rumor that he waited in line for a RuPaul photo, Willam laughs it off. “She’s loud, but that doesn’t mean she’s right. I told her that on the phone, she didn’t like it.”

    Willam goes on to criticize how Mistress treated fellow queen Aja during All Stars, claiming this YouTube dragfest is a strategic smokescreen to deflect from her own behavior. And when it comes to being called a clout chaser? Willam owns it. “I am. And what are you, girl?”

    The Feud Heard ‘Round the Fandom

    Comparisons to the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake rap beef have already begun, except this time, it’s wigs instead of bars and YouTube thumbnails instead of album covers. But the intensity? Just as real.

    Willam capped her video by saying, “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen,” accusing Mistress of panicking over her fleeting spotlight. “You’re worried this fame might be going away, so you’re swinging at anyone nearby,” she added. “You’re indisputably, factually a b*tch.”

    No word yet on whether Mistress will respond, but if history (and her heels) are any indication, another video might already be in the works.

    Stay Tuned, Because This Isn’t Over

    In the grand tradition of Drag Race drama, this saga is already one for the herstory books. With both queens armed with receipts, comebacks, and a fierce following, the Willam vs. Mistress feud is more than just a fight it’s appointment viewing.

    So grab your popcorn, charge your phone, and stay subscribed. Because this YouTube beef? It’s far from done.

    Nicki Minaj Unleashes Scathing Takedown of SZA, Hints at Drama with Drake and Beyoncé

    Nicki Minaj and SZA’s simmering tension has erupted into a full-scale feud, with Minaj taking to social media to air out grievances, drop unfiltered accusations, and name-drop some of the biggest names in music. In a fiery post shared late Tuesday, the rapper called out SZA directly, and didn’t stop there, also looping in longtime collaborators Drake, Beyoncé, and music executive Gee Roberson.

    The feud, which began with subtle shade and cryptic tweets, has officially entered its messiest chapter yet.

    Nicki Claims She Passed on “Rich Baby Daddy” Track

    Minaj started her late-night rant by revealing she had declined a feature on “Rich Baby Daddy,” the chart-topping collaboration between Drake and Sexyy Red. The song had previously been linked to SZA as a rumored remix contributor.

    “He wanted me and Sexy on it. I still have the version of just Drake and Sexy,” Minaj wrote, adding that she turned it down to prioritize creative control over her Pink Friday 2 era.

    She explained, “I wanted my next collab with Drake to be something meaningful, not a club record. Meanwhile, Miss Thing is still out here doing her best for him daily.”

    The pointed comments, though marked by sarcasm and some NSFW insinuations, set the internet ablaze. Within minutes, the hashtag #Dricki, a mashup of Drake and Nicki, was trending on X (formerly Twitter).

    Minaj Mocks SZA’s Beyoncé Writing Claims

    Next, Minaj shifted gears to challenge SZA’s repeated insinuations that she played a behind-the-scenes role in writing for Beyoncé.

    “This woman wants a Grammy just for hinting she touched a Google Doc Beyoncé opened,” Minaj quipped. She specifically referenced their 2015 joint track “Feeling Myself,” claiming Beyoncé’s vocals were already in place before Minaj recorded her verses.

    According to Minaj, the two artists debated over who should sing the now-iconic line “Cooking up the bass, looking like a kilo.”

    “Bey was like, ‘You sing it.’ I said, ‘Nooo, you sing it!’” Minaj recalled, adding, “Then she said in her calm Texas voice, ‘Yes, you can.’”

    “These Girls Have No Identity”: Nicki’s Final Blow

    Minaj ended her post with a sweeping criticism of unnamed “industry girls” who she believes lack originality, a statement many interpreted as another jab at SZA.

    “She needed two whole days to be coached on how to respond,” Minaj wrote. “They can’t freestyle a tweet, let alone a track.”

    It was a clear sign the gloves were off and that this feud had moved well beyond mere subtweets.

    SZA Responds with Receipts and Resilience

    The blowout follows SZA’s subtle response to a previous Minaj comment, where the singer told fans, “Don’t take the bait lol silly goose.” That seemingly light remark clearly hit a nerve with Minaj, who spiraled into a flurry of tweets questioning SZA’s artistry, appearance, and career longevity.

    At one point, Minaj even questioned the impact of SZA’s chart-topping album SOS, tweeting: “If every song she ever made vanished, the music industry wouldn’t miss her.”

    SZA fired back by posting what she claims were text receipts of Minaj asking for collaborations, twice. “Nicki, you know my music. You’ve quoted it. You’ve requested features. Stop pretending,” she wrote.

    She also addressed the harsh treatment she receives online, saying, “I get bullied by millions daily then step out into sold-out stadiums. That’s real love. My parents are healthy. I’m thriving.”

    A Celebrity Clash for the Ages?

    While neither Beyoncé nor Drake has commented on the fallout, fan theories and stan wars are raging across platforms. Whether this feud will cool off or continue to heat up remains to be seen, but one thing’s clear: the pop girl detente is officially over.
