Music producer and songwriter Lucian Piane launched into a bizarre racist and anti-Semitic Twitter rant on Sunday which included calling RuPaul the “wisest n****r” he knows.
Piane, 36, has been a longtime producer for some of RuPaul’s music as well as an occasional judge on “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
If black people stopped being so ashamed of themselves we could call them niggers and they would laugh. Backwards shit.

His tweets sparked concern and outrage among many including “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alum Tatianna.

RuPaul responded in a couple tweets that are believed to be about Piane and called on people to understand the fragility of mental health and to “show some compassion.”

Show some compassion. Please.

This isn’t Piane’s first Twitter tirade. In October he launched into a series of tweets about how he would “absolutely not” vote for Hillary Clinton.

This John Waters interview has been edited for readability — but perhaps not human decency
Pope of Trash dishes on Trump, plane etiquette, last meal, and more
By WESLEY CASE | At 80 years old, John Waters is still the ideal dinner guest — incisively sharp, quick-witted and funny as hell.
The chic Baltimore native proved it again and again in a recent Zoom interview, calling from his summer home in Provincetown, Mass.
The occasion was the Blu-ray releases of two of his movies — the 1977 dark comedy “Desperate Living” and his enduring 1988 musical “Hairspray” — on June 23 by the Criterion Collection, which publishes restorations of films it deems culturally important. The Criterion stamp of approval has become the gold standard among cinephiles.
“It’s like getting an award,” said Waters, who wrote and directed both films.
