The Rap Song That Knocked Off Taylor Swift, Eminem, and Nicki Minaj: “FACTS” by Ben Shapiro and Tom MacDonald

“FACTS”, the new rap song by Ben Shapiro and Tom MacDonald, has become a sensation on iTunes, reaching the #1 spot on the overall and rap charts. The rap duo announced their collaboration on Wednesday and launched the music video at 12 pm eastern time, which quickly gained almost a million views on YouTube in 6 hours. The idea of making a song together was first discussed in an interview they did last May. Shapiro, who had previously recited the lyrics of Cardi B’s “WAP” in a podcast and faced a lot of ridicule from the media, celebrated the song’s success on X, where he boasted about knocking off several popular artists, such as Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, and Taylor Swift. He also used X to taunt rappers like Nikki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion, saying “Hey Megan [Thee Stallion] we’re coming for thee.” Tom, seeing the song’s popularity, predicted that they would break the internet the next day, saying “Take a good look at the internet this evening……appreciate its beauty……and hold on to that image… Because tomorrow morning…we’re breaking the internet once and for all.” However, not everyone was impressed by the song, which touched on some controversial topics in American society. Ben, who is known for being divisive and having many enemies, received a lot of negative feedback on social media, where many people called the song embarrassing, lame, silly and a contender for the worst rap ever. Despite the criticism, Ben encouraged his fans to buy and listen to the song, and it seemed to work, as the song climbed up the music charts.
