‘Homie I’m Epic’: Ben Shapiro’s New Rap Video is the Cringiest Thing You Will Ever Watch

Nobody asked for Ben Shapiro to drop an anti-woke rap song and unbearably cringe accompanying video. And yet, here we are.

Shapiro teamed up with Tom MacDonald, a Canadian whom Rolling Stone described as a “right-wing troll rapper,” to release a song on Friday called “Facts.”

The release from Shapiro, the founder of the Daily Wire, is particularly perplexing given Shapiro’s years-long campaign to convince people that rap is “not real music.”

Well, Shapiro is now a rapper. In the new song, MacDonald starts off, “I don’t care if I offend you,” before rattling off a series of culture war hot topics:

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
I ask myself, “What would Ben do?”
Let’s just keep it real facts, don’t care how you feel, man
If you want my pronouns, I’m the man
I’m the man that don’t respect you

Shapiro gave most of the limelight to McDonald before busting out his own verse and imploring his fans to boost the song to “a Billboard number one.”

Let’s look at the stats, I’ve got the facts
My money like Lizzo, my pockets are fat
Homie I’m epic, don’t be a WAP
Dawg it’s a yarmulke, homie no cap
Look at the graphs, look at my charts
You’re blowing money on strippers and cars
You’re going to prison, I’m on television
Dawg, no one knows who you are
Keep hating on me on the internet
My comment section all woke Karens
I make racks off compound interest
Y’all live with your parents
Nicki take some notes
I just did this for fun
All my people download this
Let’s get a Billboard number one

Shapiro spent the first hours of the song’s release on X, formerly Twitter, tagging various music stars, including Nicki Minaj, in a ploy for attention.
