Onya Nurve knows fans are thirsting over her handsome father
"You see where I get it from!"
It do take nerve!
Onya Nurve slayed season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race... full stop. With four winners under her belt, the lovable queen is heading into the finale with the most competition wins and a very strong track record.
"What's going through my head today is just about having fun and enjoying the moment. I did all of the hard work that I needed to do to get here. Tonight is simply a celebration and kicking these b**ch's asses just one more time," Nurve tells PRIDE.
One of the highlights from Nurve's time on the show was putting her biological father in drag during the emotional makeover challenge. Although she ended up in the bottom during that episode, she shared a memory with her dad that'll last a lifetime.
"Nunya Bidness can sit down! This is about Onya Nurve today. You see where I get it from! I feel like my dad is probably the first Black man on RuPaul's Drag Race representing their daughter. We're making herstory here and my dad is leading the pack."
The popular queen has a strong fanbase cheering her on as she gears up for what's sure to be an iconic and memorable finale.
"Three years ago, I don't think that I would be standing here. I'm just so proud that I decided to bet on myself. I hope that me being here puts those hopes and dreams in other people's brains. Anything is possible. I know that sounds cliché, but anything is possible."
RuPaul's Drag Race airs Friday nights on MTV. To see the full interview with Onya Nurve, check out the video at the top of the page.
