In a surprising twist of musical fate, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro's unexpected leap into the rap scene with his feature on Tom MacDonald's "Facts", has not only secured the top spot on iTunes but has also sparked a playful exchange with none other than Nicki Minaj. Reacting to the news of Shapiro's rap success, Minaj humorously pointed out the familiar beat reminiscent of her hit song "Roman’s Revenge" when the track began, adding a touch of nostalgia to the unexpected collaboration. Although she admitted it was a diss track and threw some shade, she nonetheless gave Mr. Shapiro some props.
Shapiro, embracing the newfound attention, responded to Minaj's comparison with a dash of humor, stating, "Didn't know what I was doing, but I put on a cape. Now it's, 'Which world tour should I go on today?' @NICKIMINAJ."
The unexpected synergy between Shapiro and MacDonald in "Facts" has prompted discussions beyond the virtual banter. Robby Starbuck, a notable figure in the conservative movement, threw a tantalizing suggestion into the mix with a tweet that may resonate with fans or atleast stir the pot... "Next should be @IAMTOMMACDONALD x @benshapiro x @NICKIMINAJ collab." Starbuck's proposal hinted at the possibility of a collaboration that transcends traditional genre boundaries, reflecting a desire for diverse voices to come together and redefine the beat of American culture. Get it? The American Beat!
The idea of collaboration has historically been a driving force in the music industry, with Eminem and Nicki Minaj's past collaboration on "Roman’s Revenge" being a notable example. What will be the next collab? If Shapiro and Tom MacDonald is possible, perhaps we will see more conservative commentators enter the arena and collaborate with like-minded artists? Who would you like to see next?
