Rapper Nicki Minaj dissed far-right pundit Ben Shapiro like a pro after his track "Facts" hit number No. 1 on iTunes’ music charts.
Shapiro is a conservative political commentator and known homophobe who has often whined about woke America on his eponymous podcast.
He recently aired his anti-woke grievances as a featured performer in the rap song, "Facts" by MAGA rapper Tom MacDonald, a Canadian artist whose lyrics often criticize herd behavior or groupthink.
The song's lyrics targeted several music artists, including Minaj.

The lyrics in Shapiro's cameo go like so:
"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"
But instead of disparaging Shapiro for suggesting she "take some notes," Minaj congratulated the co-founder of The Daily Wire on his musical achievement while simultaneously suggesting the song's beat was derivative.
Minaj took to X on Saturday and wrote:
“I just listened to it, Ben Shapiro, not bad."
"Congrats on #1. But it definitely sounds like ‘Roman’s Revenge’ when the beat first came in… I don’t know.”
The track "Roman's Revenge" Minaj was referring to was her 2010 collaboration with Eminem featuring his Slim Shady alter ego.
She followed up her viral tweet with another trying to make heads or tails of the situation.
"Ben Shapiro put out a diss record. He said his comment sections are filled with woke Karens. The song is #1 on US iTunes."
"What is rlly happening, & whos that other man rapping??? Is this real life??!! He said, ‘Nicki, take some notes’ nah. Ayo nah."

Her fans also wondered what in the Barbie World was happening.
What could possibly happen next?
Many fans remained split.
Some were here for her casual support of Shapiro while others were left sadly disappointed.
Shapiro patted himself on the back after news of his accomplishment, writing:
“I just want to thank God, Tom MacDonald, and my parents, who paid for 15 years of classical violin lessons so I could become the #1 rapper in America."
Let's hope Shapiro gives our ears a break and hangs up his rapper chains for good.
