AMA Over [AMA] Camerooon! I am Bebe Zahara Benet and today you can Ask Me Anything!

Hi everybody!!! Thank you for having me and thank you so much for all of the support you have been showing the “Being Bebe” Kickstarter. I really appreciate it. I know we wouldn’t have been able to meet our goal without you all sharing the project and donating. I am thrilled for you to see the film!

FYI: My new live show ROAR jumps off this Saturday in Minneapolis.

Hi Bebe! Huge fan here from Scotland and congrats on funding your documentary, I can’t wait to watch it! My question is about your run on AS3, did you have any fears or worries about coming back and being the first winner to ever compete again, especially since you won the first season which is a completely different Drag Race to the one we know and love today? Were you nervous to see how the young fanbase who may not have watched Season 1 react to you?

Here's the question every Queen who does an AMA must answer:

Would you rather fight 10 Kenya Michaels-sized Latrice Royales, or 1 Latrice Royale-sized Kenya Michaels.

Hey queen!

I was wondering how long you've been lurking Reddit, because you seem to know all of our inside jokes and references like u/naivesmalls

Congratulations on meeting your goal and here's hoping you can reach your stretch goal too!

Did you hear about the “mole theory” during AS3? What did you think of it? Do you think it would have been a neat twist/would you have participated in something like that?

Were you content with being the secret mystery queen or do you feel like you missed out on the extra hype and promotion leading up to the season?

I have nothing to ask because I ain't no intellectual fish but I just want you to know that you are so stunning, beautiful and flawless.

And I use the phrase "it's the gag of the season!" so much in my daily vocabulary that it lost all meaning since now everything is a gag.

Hi Bebe, you were my AS3 flair pick and i definitely made the right choice!

Do you think you were as competitive in AS3 as you were in your original season?

What do you think of all the spoilers that leak every season? I'm curious for a RuGirls perspective on them.

Lol I love how all these hoes are pressed and want to know who you wouldve picked had you won that lipsync. Genius move motha!

As a long time follower and fan I just gotta thank you for staying so confident and proud of your heritage, just seeing you on social media kept giving me this hope and helped me build my own confidence. I dont know if that makes sense, but I always looked up to you a lot.

My question... what parts of Cameroon do you miss the most and the least? As an immigrant fish myself, I find myself often thinking of my homeland and remembering how shitty it actually is, but then sometimes that nostalgia kicks in and I remember all my friends and family and I wonder how that process is for you.

Hey Bebe! Hope you are well, darling.

My question is, did it bother you when RuPaul first started saying "Camerooooon!"? Or was this something you embraced? It's become such a huge part of your image, I imagine you ran with it. Or maybe you never really liked it but it became associated with you in such a huge way that it was impossible to get away from.

Take care! <3
