Drag icon Manila Luzon has sparked controversy with her latest creative endeavor—a “slutty” parody of Kylie Minogue’s hit track, “Padam Padam.” The Filipino drag queen unveiled her own version, where she replaces every occurrence of “Padam” with the word “C*mdump.” While the parody has garnered attention, it has also ignited a heated debate among fans on Twitter.
The global frenzy surrounding “Padam Padam,” the lead single from Kylie Minogue’s upcoming album, Tension, has captivated audiences worldwide. The track has received numerous replays in clubs, spawned countless memes, and, unfortunately, led to a series of parodies. Manila Luzon, renowned for her appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race, took the opportunity to release an x-rated remix of her own.
In a tweet captioned “Padam Padam gets slutty,” Manila Luzon introduced her controversial parody to the world. The accompanying music video features Luzon seductively rolling around in a hotel room, adorned in a striking red outfit, surrounded by admirers. The lyrics of the remix leave little to the imagination, with lines such as “Cmdump, cmdump / I feel you in my hole / cmdump, cmdump / You know I wanna take it all / Cmdump / I’m taking all your loads / cmdump, c*mdump / With all your bros.”
The response to Manila Luzon’s parody has been a mixed bag, with fellow Drag Race contestants voicing their thoughts. Kerri Colby from Season 14 offered support but expressed reservations about the concept, while Salina EsTitties from Season 15 simply exclaimed, “MANILLA!!!!” Drag Race OG Ongina responded with laughter, showing her approval. Notably, many fans resorted to sharing the iconic “Naomi Smalls holding the Manila Luzon lipstick moment” to express their desire to “eliminate” Luzon for the parody.
While the track is yet to debut on streaming services, the overwhelming reactions online indicate that its release is imminent. In the meantime, Kylie Minogue’s original “Padam Padam” remains available for streaming. The divided opinions on Manila Luzon’s daring remix continue to fuel discussions within the LGBTQ community and beyond.
