Nevena and Macca are joined by Lydia Jupp from the Star Observer as they discuss footage of fracking sites in background of RuPaul’s DJ sets this week, reignites criticism of drag star’s environmental practices.
A decade ago, no one would have associated the world’s most famous drag queen with the toxic extraction technique, but ever since he revealed he and his husband were “leasing mineral rights to oil companies” on their massive Wyoming ranch in a 2020 appearance on NPR’s Fresh Air (ironic), “RuPaul fracks” has become a commonplace meme in queer culture.
Uploaded to TikTok, the video shows Ru DJing at Montreal’s Parc Jean-Drapeau on Saturday, with footage of what appears to be an oil-exploration site as his set’s background.
