During her limited run on the show, Jasmine Masters received harsh online criticism for the negative comments she made towards some other Season 7 contestants. The hate she received became so bad that RuPaul brought it up during the Season 7 finale, stating that bullying the contestants online is never okay.

In 2016, Masters uploaded a video to her YouTube channel in which she stated that the quality of the drag scene in America had gone down since the show began airing. While she initially received backlash from fans for this video, people began to gradually appreciate it for its unintentional comedic value and has since become a huge meme among the show's fanbase, which earned her a spot as a contestant on "All Stars 4".

Unfortunately for Jasmine, she didn't stay for very long on either of her seasons. Despite this, she has managed to rack up a significant fanbase in her own right.
