The beef seems to have cropped up from nowhere if you don’t know the context, so here’s what’s gone down between Naysha Lopez and King Tyra as the two have a Drag Race feud on Twitter.

In a tweet posted last night, James ‘King Tyra’ Ross tweeted Naysha saying “I don’t watch this show anymore, but a little bird told me that hoe Naysha Lopez was eliminated for a third time. FAILURE. Karma. Always riding my dick worried about if I should be allowed to compete in a show I want nothing to do with and here you are a loser for the third time.”
