About this listen
RuPaul continues to reign supreme at the center of drag culture, and while the past few days have seen no major headlines directly involving RuPaul as an individual, his global brand and influence remain untouchable. According to a summary by iHeartRadio, RuPaul has not been part of any controversy, made no new business announcements, and has kept a low personal profile recently, but his empire flourishes as his name dominates events, social calendars, and the drag entertainment business. The biggest ongoing event tied to RuPaul is the Werq the World Tour 2025, rolling through major cities like Boston and Rochester later this August. This world tour, presented by Voss Events and World of Wonder in collaboration with MTV, offers fans a ticket to the glitz of an "exclusive awards show" themed extravaganza, hosted by the indomitable Jimbo as Joan Rivers. The roster promises star turns from Daya Betty as Lady Gaga, Jaida Essence Hall as Beyoncé, Kim Chi as Celine Dion, and more—further proof that the RuPaul and Drag Race brand remains the gold standard for live performance and pop spectacle, even if Ru himself is staying off the event stage for now. Business-wise, there is no record of RuPaul personally launching or announcing new ventures in recent days, with sources like iHeartRadio confirming no such activities. The press continues to highlight Drag Race queens: Alaska made Entertainment Weekly headlines with her engagement to longtime partner Matthew Herrmann, while other alums, like Utica Queen, garnered buzz for winning the double-bill premiere of Project Runway season 21, as reported by PinkNews. These developments, although not involving RuPaul's personal moves, reinforce his status as a mentor and tastemaker—nearly every queen's milestone floats under his inevitable shadow. Social media remains abuzz with mentions of RuPaul connected to Drag Race, tour promotions, and fan excitement for upcoming shows, but there have been no viral moments or statements from RuPaul himself that would set the internet ablaze in the last few days. In sum, RuPaul's world turns smoothly—his brand omnipresent, his legacy celebrated through his queens, and his own hands steering quietly but firmly from behind the velvet curtain. If the last week lacked breaking news with Ru at center stage, it was only because his empire, already towering, continues to command the spotlight without the need for fresh headlines.
