Nina Bo'nina Brown is the stage name of Pierre Dease, a drag queen, performer, makeup artist, content creator, and one of the Season 9 contestants of RuPaul's Drag Race (placed 6th).

Name Origin

Formally known as "Beatta Bitchass", and "Lady Guinavere", Nina decided to choose another name due to the fact that people couldn't spell these ones correctly. "Nina" comes from the fact that she was attracted to this name, saying that it kept appearing in her dreams. "Bo'nina" was chosen by someone at a club, who randomly said "C'mon, Nina Bo'nina!". "Brown" isn't specified where it comes from.
