RuPaul has released a picture of herself… as a Simpsons character.
Posting on Instagram, RuPaul announced that she would play a character on an upcoming episode of The Simpsons called “Queen Chante,” a name which might be a reference to RuPaul’s frequent use of the word pronounced “shantay.”
The image is signed by Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons.
The episode will feature at least one RuPaul’s Drag Race queen: Raja.

On her Instagram account, Raja (aka Sutan Amrull) posted a Simpsons image of herself.
“I am so proud to announce my cameo appearance on #theSimpsons!” Raja wrote, specifying that she did a scene with Homer Simpson and that she will appear on the same November 18 episode as Ru.
“I’ll never forget crying my eyes out, as rain came pouring down on the sidewalk outside the recording studio. Tears of joy. The Simpsons was a huge part of my childhood, being asked to be on an episode was surreal and mind blowing, to say the least.”
While no other drag queen has announced an appearance on that episode, that doesn’t mean that there won’t be a surprise.
If not, we’ll always have this iconic Homer-Vanjie mash-up.
