Aside from counting the likes of Alaska as friends, Kandy Muse was previously a member of the Haus of Aja. The New York-based collective was created by the titular queen, who competed on season 9 and again on All Stars 3. Although Muse advised on Drag Race that the group disbanded due to jealousy and in-fighting, according to Aja herself, that's not quite the case. As she told Them, the group's 2018 breakup came about because Aja didn't want to be viewed as a drag queen at all anymore.
Aja explained, "I kind of let go of the idea of being a drag queen because, for most people, the stereotypical drag queen lip syncs and performs." She acknowledged, "It's something that is part of me, but it's not something that I'm carrying into the future, so I'm kind of leaving the term behind." Following the split, Muse, Dahlia Sin (of Drag Race season 12), and Janelle No. 5 created their own group called Doll Haus.
