RuPaul’s recent DJ set isn’t the first time he has commented on the fracking allegations. In a New Yorker profile in 2024, RuPaul dodged questions about fracking. Writer Ronan Farrow mentioned that the star “remains defiantly annoyed about the matter.”
“Do you buy gas? Before you point the finger, smell it first, bitch,” RuPaul said in the interview. “There’s no combination of words I can put together that would soothe the mob.”
This comment upset fans, with many pointing out the difference between buying gas and fracking. “There is a huge difference between filling up your car as an individual and directly facilitating an incredibly destructive and hazardous fuel extraction method,” Them writer James Factor explained in an article on the subject.
