Kornbread “The Snack” Jeté has said she has no plans to quit drag after previously stating that she would not be “doing it for too much longer.” “So, from here, I’m going to take myself a good little break,” she previously told NBC News on the red carpet at the filming of the Drag Race season 14 finale. “I’m going to finish my tours out and I’m going to finish my transition how I want to finish it.” The 30-year-old appeared on the show’s latest season, though this came to a sudden end thanks to an injury sending her home in the fifth episode.
She continued: “I just want to go straight into acting and doing what I’ve been doing. “I enjoy drag, [but] I don’t think I’ll be doing it for too much longer.
