Eminem is King of Facebook with 60 Million ‘Likes’

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Lady Gaga and Rihanna are generally known as the social media queens, boasting tens of millions of followers on Twitter, but it is actually rapper Eminem who is quietly the master of social media.

This past Wednesday, Eminem reached a stunning milestone—60 million Facebook “Likes.” No other living person has more Likes than the Detroit rap star.

To put it in perspective, 60 million is approximately the population of Italy—and would make Eminem’s Facebook fans the 24th most populous nation in the world.

According to AppData, Eminem gets close to 26,000 “likes” a day—which works out to 18 per minute. Rihanna trails slightly with 22,000 per day.

While Rihanna spills out the entire contents of her life in social media, Eminem is much more reticent, using his Facebook page more for posting links to his videos than actual communication.

But when it comes to Twitter followers, Lady Gaga is still the queen with nearly 28 million folks.

 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
