Eminem takes Facebook crown from King of Pop

Rap superstar Eminem is officially the most popular person on Facebook after stealing the crown from the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

Last month, Eminem overtook Lady Gaga as the top living person on the social networking website when his profile garnered almost 29 million "likes" from fans. According to FameCount.com, only Jackson had more Facebook followers -- until now.

Eminem had surpassed the 30 million mark by Monday, leaving Jackson in second place with 29.8 million "likes."

But his power on Facebook doesn't come close to Gaga's on Twitter: With 8.7 million followers, she leads all musicians, while Eminem is just inside the top 20 artists on the micro-blogging site.

No offense to any Eminem fans here but :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  Why? I don't get it.

Yes I know when I heard this story on the radio I had to think "yeah right, who's not living?!".

At least we all know who the living King Of Pop will and always be .

If (and we all know this will never happen)  anyone else becomes The King he should be The King Of Pop 2.  

I am surprised that I am upset about this. The media is horrible to even think of calling him that! His fans are too! How could they to this! :evil:

[SEHF]

I guess people like that.

I'm not an Eminem fan but I do remember he said terrible things about Michael about his trials. I remember it watching on a gossip tv show, E Entertainment or something like that. Do you guys remember that?

[AnaMarcia]

This is so absurd! I hate Eminem as an artist. He made a horrible clip criticizing and ridiculing Michael.  :x

[trustno1]

I remember but apart from his questionable judgment I just don't know what's so outstanding about Eminem?  To compare Michael to him is not even possible in terms of contribution to entertainment, the arts, social culture, and sheer talent.  Not even in the same league.  He may be a successful artist but I don't get his popularity.  Then again I don't get why so many other well-known people are popular, especially the ones who are famous only for being famous and don't actually seem to do anything.  Paris Hilton I'm talking to you!   :lol:  Not that she's the only one of course but I'm using her as an example.  I suppose at least Eminem has done something to warrant his fame.

I didn't even know he had any fans!  :shock:


 :lol:

All eminem's music is part of Michael's Sony/ATV catalogue. So, he may be a no talent dumb ass, but his ass is making money for Michael. That'll teach him to mock the King.

Yes, and he has a terrrible video mocking michael with his hair on fire and other things, its really horrible.

Mr. Mathers is the man.

Yeah.
