Mayhem Miller is the stage name of Dequan Johnson, a drag performer from Riverside, California. Mayhem competed on the tenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race where she was the fifth queen to be eliminated, placing 10th.

On May 8, 2020, it was announced that she would be competing in All Stars 5. She was the fourth queen to be eliminated, meaning that she placed 7th.

Drag Name Origin

Her first name "Mayhem" is a reference to Tommy Lee's "MAYHEM" tattoo across his stomach. She adopted the name after watching Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson's sex tape.

Season 10

On Season 10, Mayhem won the very first challenge, the design challenge. She had an outfit made with gloves, and it was deemed highly creative. She was safe for the second challenge, where Kalorie Karbdashian-Williams was eliminated. On the third episode, she placed in the bottom two alongside Yuhua Hamasaki, but won the lip-sync and sent her home. She was safe for the fourth episode, the ball. On Episode 5, she placed in the bottom two, this time with Monét X Change. Mayhem lost the lip-sync and was eliminated.

All Stars 5

The first challenge was the Variety Show. Mayhem chose to do live singing. She started off well, but was critiqued for having poor diction in her voice and not taking the act far enough. She placed in the bottom two with Derrick Barry, while India Ferrah won the challenge. India lost the lip-sync against Yvie Oddly, and it came down to a vote. Jujubee was the only one who voted to eliminate Mayhem, therefore Mayhem was safe and Derrick Barry became the first eliminated.

On the second episode, Mayhem was picked to be on Blair St. Clair's team, along with Miz Cracker. With the challenge being to write lyrics and perform to them in "I'm in Love!", Mayhem chose her verse to be about Mr. Rogers. On the runway, she wore a Kim Kardashian-inspired gown. Mayhem was safe, while Shea Couleé won the challenge, the lip-sync, and sent home Ongina.

AJ and the Queen Appearances

On AJ and the Queen, she appeared in New York City, the series premiere of the Netflix Original in a cameo as an unnamed queen working at The Box, a drag club in the city that never sleeps.
