Sugar and Spice twins separate as Sugar announces new solo act name
Share
TikTok’s fave drag duo Sugar and Spice seem to have split up after Sugar posted an update with a rebranded solo drag name.
“Introducing Sugar Solay,” Sugar wrote on social media. “Not just a name change, but a re-birth and arrival of the individualized light that's been lying dormant inside of me."
The twins first came across our screens after appearing on season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Sugar sashayed away in episode four, while Spice was eliminated in episode nine.
They also garnered a mass following on TikTok for their incredible transformation videos and trendy 2000s aesthetic. Spice encapsulated a darker, edgier persona while Sugar took on a girlier, “bimbo” character. It was this personality that partially led to Sugar going solo.

"For the past few years, I've grown to feel disconnected from the initial 'y2k bimbo' character I was hiding behind," the Drag Race star added, clearly referencing the Y2K bimbo personas that she presented as one half of Sugar and Spice.
"I knew there was much more to my consciousness as an artist, and it was up to me to do the inner work and unlock my own divinity. Solay was waiting for me until I awoke to my true essence and broke free from the fear of being seen as my spiritual and whimsical self."
Sugar explained the story behind her new name while remaining that she will always be part of ‘Sugar and Spice.’
"Solay is a re-spelling of the French name Soleil, which means the sun and represents warmth + positivity. I will always be the Sugar of 'Sugar and Spice,' but Solay is my own personal extension of source energy.”
“She's the gift I have received for committing to my higher, most aligned path. She's been the sun in my darkest moments and now I'm ready to share her with you all… I hope I can lead the way for other blocked creatives/aspiring artists to reclaim their own magnificence. It's never too late."
Spice has yet to comment on Sugar’s solo act.
