VIA TMZ:
Ben Shapiro is diving headfirst into the rap game — he’s got a new single and an accompanying music video, and it’s doing numbers … this despite some poor reactions.
The famous conservative talk show host and editor of The Daily Wire — who’s known for his skill on a mic, but not in the MC capacity — was featured on wrestler-turned-rapper Tom MacDonald‘s new single … supplying the guest verse with bars.
Their track together is called “Facts” … and Ben’s 16 takes aim at actual rappers in the game, like Nicki Minaj, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion … among others. He’s wearing a hoodie in this thing as he raps about making money off compound interest, all while his haters live with their parents. Yeah, it’s classic Shapiro … dude loves to flex his intellect.
Anyway, the song’s pretty polarizing … and not just because of the lyrical content, which references culture wars and defunding the police. In terms of listen-ability, it’s … jarring.
As you can imagine — Ben himself is controversial, and has a ton of haters too … so, it’s no surprise the track’s generating a ton of bad reviews on social media right now, with lotsa folks calling it cringe, uncool, goofy and a contender for the worst verse of all time.
In his rap, Ben calls on his supporters to download and stream the song … and that looks like what’s going on, because it’s doing pretty well on the music charts. So … a win?
