At at the time of posting this news, the Barbadian singer has 61,564,736 fans, while the rapper stands at 61,217,673, and this is according to Starcount, a data aggregator that measures social-media popularity.
Slim Shady reigned as king of the social network since surpassing Lady Gagaand Michael Jackson last February. MJ had previously been the most popular celeb since his death in 2009.
Rihanna’s social popularity has surged in recent years; she dethroned Lady Gaga as the top female celeb on Facebook last July. And what makes this recent statistics truly phenomenal is the fact that less than two years ago, Rihanna was five million less fans than Eminem, but that gap quickly closed — likely thanks to Facebook’s recent purge of fake likes, Starcount says.
The singer also dominates other social networks, including YouTube,where she sits in second spot after Justin Bieber,and Twitter,where she is fourth behind Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry.
Starcount ranks Rihanna as the third most popular social media star in the world after Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, but adds that based on current trends, “We may soon be celebrating a new queen of social media.”
