Trans trailblazer Peppermint is a musician, actress, and activist who broke into the mainstream following her appearance on season nine of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
After making headlines for her lip sync cover of Janet Jackson’s “If,” Peppermint is back with a fully realized tribute video of “Rhythm Nation” that will absolutely blow you away. This beat-by-beat tribute shows Peppermint not only recreating the entire choreography of the original music video but also not skipping a single word of the lip sync.
This is a huge treat for Peppermint fans, Janet Jackson fans, and fans of pop music in general. You can Peppermint’s Janet Jackson tribute to “Rhythm Nation” below.
