Trolling is when people purposely upset others online by posting rude or misleading content. They might insult, spread lies, or disrupt conversations to cause chaos or just for fun. This happens on social media, forums, and comment sections.
Over the years, trolls were often viewed as either super fans or bullies. However, nowadays, certain celebrities are embracing that title.
In an era where fans have countless listening options, some artists feel the need to stand out by any means necessary or joke poke some fun.
Here are some rappers who’ve mastered the art of trolling
