Reuben Asberry Junior, better known by the stage name Kennedy Davenport, is a drag queen, television personality, and dancer from Dallas, Texas who came to international attention and fame on the seventh season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, placing fourth overall, and on the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars, where she placed second.
Davenport first appeared on television in the eighth season of America’s Got Talent in 2013, as she was one of the first drag performers to go on the show. She was eliminated in the Vegas round, missing out on a chance to head to the quarter-finals. However, luck was on her side as it was later announced that Davenport would return to our screens as one of the fourteen contestants in season seven of RuPaul’s Drag Race in March 2015, where she placed fourth overall. After this, she made a one-episode appearance on Skin Wars with fellow Drag Race contestants across various seasons. In 2017, Davenport was announced as one of the returning queens for RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 3, where fans rejoiced in seeing their favourite Texas queen weekly.
Outside of Drag Race, Kennedy Davenport has won numerous titles in drag queen pageants, including Miss Gay Orlando 2016, Miss D’Elegance International 2013, and Miss Gay Black USofA 2009. Her dance performances are her signature component, performing some incredibly fast moves – all in six-inch heels. Davenport also loves singing and works as a musician. She released her first single, “Moving Up”, featuring rapper Dresia Dee in March 2018.
