Things just keep getting better for “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 14 winner Willow Pill.Pill is eligible and will be submitted for Emmy consideration for her original song, “I Hate People,” which she performed at the show’s finale on VH1 in April.Willow co-wrote the anthemic song about not liking anyone with Brett Leland McLaughlin and Gabe Lopez.“The song ‘I Hate People’ was such a blast to work on because we wanted to go totally left of what the audience would expect,” Pill said of working on the number, in an exclusive statement to TheWrap. “The song is irreverent, catchy and tends to resonate with people after a rough 2 years.”In a brushed gold gown that secretly featured three additional Willow heads, Pill churned out a high energy performance of the song on the finale episode, where she faced stiff competition from Lady Camden, Angeria, Bosco and Daya Betty.“Inspired by ‘90s house music, I wrote some funky riffs with jazzy house chords when creating the music,” Lopez, who worked on the music for the song, said in a statement.
