RuPaul's Drag Race Wiki

Jaremi Lee Carey,[3] known professionally as Jaremi Carey or JustJaremi and formerly known as Phi Phi O'Hara is a former American drag artist, performer, cosplayer, music artist, Twitch streamer and one of the Season 4 runners-up of RuPaul's Drag Race, as well as one of the All Stars 2 contestants (placed 7th), being sent home by Alyssa Edwards and Tatianna.

Over the years, Jaremi has indicated on multiple occasions that he no longer associates with the name "Phi Phi O'Hara" and now instead goes by his online Handle for Twitch 'JustJaremi' or rather Jaremi, and prefers to be referred to as such. Jaremi also goes by He/Him pronouns.[1]

Name Origin

Jaremi formerly went by 'Phi Phi O'Hara' which originated from "Phoenix Matthews", his original drag name. He then changed to "Phoenix O'Hara" after adopting the Haus name from his drag mother, Season 10 finalist Asia O'Hara. He later changed to "Phi Phi" as this is what Dida Ritz had nicknamed him. Since his final run on the show Jaremi dropped the drag name and now goes by either Jaremi or JustJaremi.

Drag Family

Being Asia O'Hara's drag daughter, Jaremi is the drag granddaughter of Josephine O'Hara, drag great-granddaughter of Sweet Savage and drag sister of Kylee O'Hara Fatale. She also has a drag daughter called Kara O'Hara.
