basically, about 2-3 years ago when he was getting heavily exposed and had a lot of press on him about drag representation, transphobia etc etc it got revealed that he had sold part of the land from his Wyoming ranch to an oil fracking company and he still to this day makes money off it

i'm sure it was revealed that at the time if any of the queens mentioned it publicly they weren't allowed to be in anymore Drag Race related media at all. 

And when Bob and Peppermint were on livestream once he mentioned it jokingly

The fracking story has been misrepresented by people attempting to "expose" RuPaul, which is cute as a joke, but for the record, what you wrote is nearly entirely untrue. Ru doesn't own the land, his husband's family does, and they didn't sell land to oil companies.

If you are interested, here is what The Guardian had to say about it:

 

"As Wyomingites are aware, RuPaul and his husband probably have no say over whether fracking occurs on their property. The rights to minerals under a given piece of land, including fossil fuels, are owned separately from the surface rights.

“Unless you own 100% of the fossil fuel rights under your land – and the vast majority of ranches don’t – you can’t prohibit oil and gas development. You don’t have a choice,” said RuPaul’s neighbor, Jay Butler, a fourth-generation rancher and owner of the 18,000-acre Robinson Ranch. Roads and pipelines dotted with oil wells line Butler’s own ranch. “If you drive north out of Douglas, all the ranches are involved with the oil industry.”

While it might be difficult for many landowners to refuse oil and gas development on their properties outright, “negotiating with companies as opposed to just saying no often means being able to get wells and infrastructure located away from sensitive wildlife areas or other areas the landowner cares about”, said Shannon Anderson, staff attorney for the Powder River Basin Resource Council, which advocates for responsible energy development through community organizing.

LeBar, RuPaul’s husband, was born and raised in Australia and inherited the LeBar Ranch from his grandfather, who ran a successful sheep and cattle operation along with his wife for decades on the ranch. Georges LeBar doesn’t own or run cattle himself, instead leasing the grazing rights on his land to other ranchers.

LeBar and RuPaul did not respond to requests for comment.

“RuPaul and LeBar could not say no to oil and gas development,” Butler said. “I cannot say no on any of the ranch that I’m owner of. There’s a healthy tension between ranchers and the oil industry, and you just have to negotiate in good faith.”
