DeJa Skye competed on the
fourteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race. She placed in the bottom two at the start of the season, but remained in the competition after eliminating
Daya Betty in a lip-sync battle to
Alicia Keys' 2001 song "
Fallin'". She won the
Snatch Game challenge with her impersonation of
Lil Jon,[5][6][7] which meant she did not have to participate in a special lip-sync battle against the other seven remaining contestants in the competition at that time.[8] After failing to impress judges in a challenge which saw contestants
roast judge
Ross Mathews, DeJa Skye placed in the bottom three with
Jorgeous and Daya Betty, who had returned to the competition. DeJa Skye and Jorgeous were both eliminated by Daya Betty.[9][10][11] Sam Damshenas of Gay Times said DeJa Skye's Snatch Game performance "was met with enormous praise for her impersonation of the hip-hop giant, including Jon himself".[12]
Following her appearance on Drag Race, DeJa Skye joined the cast of the
Werq the World tour.[13] In 2024, she was announced as one of eight former Drag Race contestants participating in Painting with Raven, a spin-off of the
WOW Presents Plus series Painted with Raven.[14][15]
DeJa Skye's name comes from
Beyoncé's song "
Déjà Vu" (2006) and the name of a puppet on the
PBS television series The Puzzle Place.[4] She has approximately 42,000 followers on Instagram, as of February 2022.[16]
