Morphine Love Dion, an American drag performer competing on season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, has made her fanbase curious about her family origin and ethnicity.
Key Takeaways
- The Nicaraguan Queen Morphine got into a fatal accident on the morning of July 21.
- Dione is from Miami and is a self-proclaimed “Latina Goddess.”
- Morphine explained in a YouTube video about her parents being Latino Christian and not knowing about her drag life.
The drag queen, who appeared in the competition’s 16th season, got into a fatal car crash during the early hours of Sunday morning (July 21) in Los Angeles and is currently healing and has asked her fans to keep her in their prayers.
Morphine has won the reunion “Lip Sync LaLaPaRuZa Smackdown,” been crowned the Queen of “She Done Already Done Had Herses,” and is a self-proclaimed “Latina Goddess” from Miami.
Being the first Nicaraguan queen to compete on RuPaul’s Drag Race, she integrates her Latina roots, taking originality from other Latina innovators like Kali Uchis, JLO, and Shakira.
Essentially belonging to Nicaragua in Latin America, Morphine is a Christian since predominantly Christians form a significant part of the country’s culture and constitution.

While the information on Morphine’s biological parents is not highlighted, Morphine does have a drag mother.

Nonetheless, during a makeup video with Trixie Mattel, Dion explained that her parents are Latino Christians and that they do not know she is a drag queen but instead a stylist.

In the video, Dione explains that her parents do not know how she does drag, and as of August 30, 2023, they were helping her move out of their house.
With Dione doing drag for almost six consecutive years, fans across the media are also expressing their surprise at her managing to hide such a big part of her life from her parents.
