Ben Shapiro has a long history of denigrating rap.

Despite this, the genre continues to thrive.

So he's decided if he can't beat them, join them.

The right-wing personality is featured on "anit-woke" rapper Tom McDonald's new track "Facts", which is shooting to the top of the charts.

In Ben's bars, he shouts out Nicki Minaj.

Nicki responded with a co-sign of sorts.

I just listened to it @benshapiro not bad. Congrats on #1. But it def sounds like Roman’s Revenge when the beat first came in…idk

Is Shapiro here to stay?
