Conservative talk show host and editor of The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, has entered the rap game with a new single and music video. Despite receiving mixed reactions, the song is gaining popularity. Shapiro collaborated with wrestler-turned-rapper Tom MacDonald on the track, providing a guest verse. The song, titled “Facts,” takes aim at well-known rappers like Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion. Shapiro’s lyrics showcase his love for intellectual flexing and his disdain for his critics. However, the song itself is receiving polarizing reviews for its content and listenability.
Given Shapiro’s controversial reputation, it comes as no surprise that the song is generating negative reviews on social media. Many listeners are calling it cringe-worthy, uncool, and goofy, and some even consider it a contender for the worst verse of all time. Despite the negative feedback, Shapiro is encouraging his supporters to download and stream the song, which seems to be working as it is performing well on music charts.
Currently, “Facts” sits at number two on iTunes, sandwiched between Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Shapiro is proudly celebrating this achievement on social media and continues to take shots at Nicki Minaj. In a tweet, Shapiro thanked his parents for funding his classical violin lessons for 15 years and boldly claimed that he and Tom MacDonald have “officially made hip-hop great again, as was always my lifelong dream.”
