About[]
The ditzy doll of New York City has arrived! Jasmine is known as a high-energy dancing queen who brings polished drag and the gift of gab. Her personality may be bubbly and fun, but she is drop-dead serious about slaying the competition.[7]
Drag Name Origin[]
"So when I first started drag I wanted to be a slutty drag queen, as everyone does when they start. So I was originally Jasmine Rikers, like the jail! But then, when my mom (not drag mom) found out I did drag, she said “if you’re going to be a drag queen. you’re gonna be a classy one.” So I got “Jasmine” from Aladdin, and “Kennedy” from JFK. But Instagram already had a user with that name, so I switched the “y” in Kennedy to “ie!"[2]
