Ben Shapiro’s ‘Facts’ dominates Billboard as top-selling rap single

“Facts” by Tom MacDonald ‍and Ben Shapiro ⁣Tops Rap Charts

In a surprising⁤ turn of events,⁣ the⁤ rap collaboration between Canadian recording artist Tom MacDonald and Daily⁣ Wire Editor ⁤Emeritus⁤ Ben⁣ Shapiro, titled “Facts,” has skyrocketed to the top of the charts. This powerful rap song ⁢has claimed the⁣ number one spot ⁢on the best-selling rap songs list, according to Billboard.

Last⁣ week, “Facts” peaked at number two, but it has ‌now surpassed other popular rap hits like “Hiss” by Megan Thee Stallion, “Lovin On Me” ​by Jack Harlow, “Lil Boo Thang” by Paul Russell, and “Paint the Town Red” by Doja Cat, ⁣securing ‍its place at the⁢ top.

Rap⁤ artist Nicki Minaj also dominates the charts, ‍holding onto the next three ‍spots ⁢with her songs “FTCU,” “Big Foot,” and “Everybody.”

Despite its success, “Facts” has ⁣received limited attention from mainstream outlets. The song’s lyrics take aim at the establishment and legacy media,⁣ delivering a powerful message that challenges​ the status quo.

The chorus ‍of ​the song boldly declares, “I don’t care‍ if I offend you, I was ​put here to upset you. ⁤You can cry ⁣and you can scream, you‍ can riot in the streets. You defunded the police, now there’s no one to protect you.‌ I hope ‌I offend you.”

While there are lighthearted moments in the ⁢song, such as ⁤Shapiro celebrating his rap ⁣star status and mentioning his‍ classical‌ violin lessons, both he and MacDonald recognize the⁢ cultural significance⁤ of “Facts.”

During ‌an appearance on “The⁤ Ben Shapiro Show,” MacDonald explained, “In ⁤our song,‌ we talked about not promoting guns, not promoting drugs, we talked about not⁤ turning‍ people’s sons into thugs and their daughters ⁢into h**s. We sort of ⁢spoke out against what the status quo in hip-hop is, and for ​some reason, we’re ⁢treated like we’re living‍ in some sort of upside-down, ‍backwards freak ⁤show.”

Shapiro ‌humorously compared the controversial lines in “Facts” to Megan​ Thee‌ Stallion’s song “Hiss,” highlighting the stark contrast. He⁣ joked, “If we’re gonna make ⁣sure the kids don’t see damaging ⁤material, we got to stop Tom MacDonald. They really do not want us to hit number one on the Billboard charts, obviously.”

But‌ against all ⁢odds, “Facts” has achieved exactly that.
