Cyrus wasn’t afraid to throw shade when someone questioned the queens and their talent. When she was on Joe Rogan’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, the two watched clips of RuPaul’s Drag Race queens. One video was of Kennedy Davenport doing splits and death drops. 

“They all do the same move,” Rogan said of the drag performers.

“That’s what I think when I’m watching your shows, too,” Cyrus quickly responded. “All the same stuff.”
