She competed on season 3ofCanada's Drag Race, and was the first contestant eliminated from the competition.[3] Halal Bae was also the first contestant to have a mustache, which Screen Rant said "[expanded] the idea of what it means to be a drag performer and how drag queens must look to be considered valid".[4] Tobin Ng of Broadview said Halal Bae received praise on social media "for bringing Muslim and Middle Eastern representation to the show".[2] Michel Cook of Instinct magazine wrote, "Not only did they help shatter stereotypes as to what a queer Muslim person truly is, Bae is the first North African person to hit the Drag Race competition."[5]

Outside of drag, Halal Bae has worked as a project manager.[6]
