LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Rap duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis thanked Ellen DeGeneres Tuesday in Los Angeles for her support of their song "Same Love" before it became a hit.
"We have a lot of praise to show you, because this was the first time that we ever performed live on television," People.com reported Macklemore said on DeGeneres' talk show. "You got behind 'Same Love' before anybody else did. Before it was a radio song, before it was out there with the video on MTV, you were behind it."
