In a recently resurfaced Instagram video from December 2025, Kamu, 32, filmed a person who appeared to be getting arrested. While the unidentified person was shouting, the MMA fighter made a joke about Floyd, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jason, who is also known as the fabulous Salina EsTitties from <em>RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/em>, added that Kamu\u2019s apparent discomfort with his profession might have put a target on him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think just the mere idea of a drag queen made him so uncomfortable and it put a target on my back in his eyes,\u201d he explained. \u201cLike, I think it was threatening, even though I myself never put a tinge of makeup on or a wig. Just the idea of me being authentically myself and being this drag queen, I think, was so threatening to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to having a difference in opinions on drag, Jason and Kamu found themselves at odds during the athlete\u2019s Head of Household reign. Kamu planned to backdoor Jason to maximize his chances of not earning safety. Jason was picked to play in the veto competition but ultimately lost to nominee<strong> Mallory Aurichio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the veto ceremony, the houseguests held a tea party. The get-together turned dramatic as Kamu took the opportunity to call out Jason for playing a messy game.

But it was very clear I was out here, you know, rocking by myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jason knew he was in danger as he ended up becoming the replacement nominee.
