Thomas MacDonald (born September 21, 1988)[1] is a Canadian rapper and singer. He is best known for his right-wing and anti-woke lyrics and as a figure in "MAGA rap", a Trumpist subgenre of hip hop.[2][3][4]

He first rose to prominence with the release of his 2017 debut single "Dear Rappers". His 2021 single "Fake Woke" marked his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100. "Facts", his 2024 single with political commentator Ben Shapiro, peaked at number 16 on the Hot 100 and at number 42 on the Canadian Hot 100.[citation needed]
