A well-known Robeson County queen takes the stage for a drag show in downtown Fayetteville this weekend.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season three competitor Stacy Layne Matthews performs at 1 p.m. Saturday at The Sip Room, 106 Hay St.

The self-proclaimed “country queen” is known for popularizing the word “henny,” an alternative pronunciation of honey often used as a nickname. She is the “drag mother” to queen Tatianna Matthews, who frequently performs in Carolina Drag Brunch shows at Gaston Brewing Taproom in Fayetteville.
