Bob the Drag Queen has found himself in the hot seat again after some comments he made regarding queens competing on an All-Star spin-off of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
While talking with fellow season eight queen Naomi Smalls on his podcast Sibling Rivalry, the two queens recapped highlights from the All Stars season 10 premiere.
During the show, Bob shared his thoughts, saying he “would never” accept an offer for the Vs. The World spinoff.
When discussing Kornbread, who was offered a Vs. The World spot, Bob interjected, “I would NEVER he said.”
“Any queens, if you’re being offered Vs The World, say no!” he urged.
“We have to stop them from even offering it as an option,” he continued. “If you all just keep saying no, they’ll stop offering it.”
Bob double down his words saying, “There is no way you could ever convince me and I know, I won Drag Race – But if I was Alyssa Summers” he said, confusing Alyssa Edwards and Marina Summers “you could not convince me to do a Vs The World.”
When co-host Naomi chimed in asking about Global All-Stars, Bob also shut down that possibility.
“No! Even worse! Even worse!” he said. However, when a producer asked if Bob would do it if the prize were a million dollars, he jokingly switched up his response: “Ok, I’m back in,” he said, but for $500,000? “No.”
Bob’s negative reaction to both series came with some backlash from not only fans of the show, but also the queens themselves.
Global All Stars contestant Nehellenia expressed her thoughts on Bob’s conversation.
“Tv shows like “Gas” or “Vstheworld” not only give the opportunity to drag queens who otherwise could not have the same visibility on a global level, but show the public how artists with different backgrounds and styles can compete together, proving to have the same talent and sometimes even more, than american artists.
“try to do what you do in a language that you do not master perfectly! why denigrate something that tries to praise the art of drag instead of supporting it? why take away value from something so humanly and artistically unifying?” Nehellenia wrote online.
So easy for an American winner to say, majority of the girls from international franchises get barely any career boost post show so to get an opportunity to go on a season that more people watch is a no brainer? https://t.co/m1hkNV7Mf2
