Chi Chi DeVayne Wiki – Biography

Chi Chi DeVayne was an American drag queen and reality television personality who came to international attention on the eighth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race and the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars. Following her time on the show, DeVayne was featured on several web series about drag. She was diagnosed with scleroderma in 2018, and two years later, she died following a bout of pneumonia she contracted after a hospital stays for scleroderma-related kidney failure.

DeVayne took the first name Chi-Chi from the film To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar and the surname DeVayne from the DeVayne drag family of Shreveport. Her drag mothers are Kourtni DeVayne and Lady Phat Kat. DeVayne enjoyed using different shades of purple makeup.

DeVayne competed in the eighth season of Drag Race, which began airing on March 7, 2016. HuffPost’s James Michael Nichols stated that “Chi-Chi was the dark-horse this season, walking through the doors in the first episode in a dress literally made out of garbage bags.” DeVayne made it to the top four but was eliminated before Kim Chi and Naomi Smalls; Bob the Drag Queen took the crown. DeVayne said of the experience: “It changed everything in my life. Everything has turned in a different direction. Before, I was just like, ‘What’s a good job that I could get here in town, working in a factory.’ It’s crazy.”

She appeared on RuPaul’s podcast RuPaul: What’s The Tee with Michelle Visage in 2016. The next year, she was part of a holiday tour in November called A Drag Queen Christmas. In March 2018, DeVayne was a part of Max Emerson’s Drag Babies series, which was hosted by Bob the Drag Queen. She served as a drag mentor alongside Peppermint and Shuga Cain. DeVayne was asked to come back to Drag Race for the third season of All-Stars, which premiered on January 25, 2018. She was eliminated in the fourth episode, originally placing seventh.
