You better work, NeNe Leakes

And that's exactly what the Real Housewives of Atlanta star does on this week's episode of Lip Sync Battle. Leakes pays homage to RuPaul with an incredible performance of the drag queen's classic "Supermodel (You Better Work)." Rocking a fabulous blond wig reminiscent of Ru's signature 'do and an even more glamorous red gown complete with tulle and bling, the 48-year-old reality star owned the runway like nobody's business. 

NeNe's inner drag queen was made even more epic with the help of some sexy shirtless men who strutted their stuff right alongside her. 

Judging from the brief sneak peak, Leakes' competitor and fellow reality star Todd Chrisley will have to pull out all the stops if he hopes to stand a chance against this performance.

But what will the ultimate king of lip sync competitions make of NeNe's tribute? 

Back in March, RuPaul (whose reality competition series RuPaul's Drag Race features its own lip sync performances) told Vulture, "Oh, I don't think of it. It's a poor ripoff of our show."

However, the television personality isn't sweating it. "Regular, straight pop culture has liberally lifted things from gay culture as long as I can remember. And that's fine, because guess what? We have so much more where that comes from. Take it!" he added. 

Hopefully NeNe's performance is worthy of a shanté you stay! Catch Lip Sync Battle this Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on Spike TV.

Fashion Police: The 2016 Met Gala airs Tuesday, May 3, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, only on E!
