Ben Shapiro Tries His Hand at Music and Instantly Soars to the Top of the Charts

January 26, 2024 Mark Wolf US 0

Conservative author, radio host and commentator Ben Shapiro shocked the world on Friday when he dropped a rap single.

Shapiro was featured in a new single from rapper Tom MacDonald called “Facts,” which is a play on Shapiro’s longtime calling-card phrase — facts don’t care about your feelings.

The three-minute single amassed more than 250,000 views on YouTube in just two hours.

But Shapiro appeared most proud of the fact that he found himself inexplicably outperforming other music artists on the Apple Music charts Friday.

In fact, the 40-year-old took to his X page and began taunting established rappers.

Shapiro called out Eminem, Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion and encouraged them to catch up to him.

Many users on the social media platform X spent a lot of the morning and afternoon eating up the single, with numerous people admitting Shapiro dropping a rap song was the last thing they expected to see.

Former collegiate swimmer and women’s sports activist Riley Gaines reacted to Shapiro’s lyrics with laughter:

Shapiro’s Daily Wire colleague Michael Knowles also posted a blind reacting video to the single — which is highly entertaining.

MacDonald responded to the immediate success of “Facts” by noting he and Shapiro were about to take the rap world by storm.

He also asked his followers to download the track to help him and Shapiro “troll” the music industry.

Shapiro posted a message about the endeavor on X.

“I just want to thank God, @IAMTOMMACDONALD, and my parents, who paid for 15 years of classical violin lessons so I could become the #1 rapper in America,” he quipped.

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor

The Western Journal
