Like him or not Jack Harlow is doing numbers. For the last four weeks, his single has held the top slot in America.
As reported by Billboard, the Louisville, Ky. native is on another historic winning streak. The music industry periodical has confirmed his song, “Lovin On Me” has been the top song on the Billboard Hot 100 for the last month.
According to the publication’s 2018 article, the list is ranked based on physical and digital sales, streaming, and radio play in the United States. This new achievement surpasses his previous success with “First Class” which topped the chart for three straight in 2022. He also shared the number one spot with Lil Nas X with “Industry Baby” back in October 2021.
Ironically, “Lovin On Me” is a standalone single that was not included in his most recent album Jackman. His third album was produced by FnZ, DJ Dahi, Boi-1da, and others. The project was met with mixed reviews with some critics calling it his most authentic effort yet while others stated the project felt disjointed.
Jack Harlow first got his shot back in 2020 with his song “What’s Poppin”. The track would go on to be well received on TikTok. That same year he landed a slot on XXL Magazine’s Freshman Class. You can view the video for “Lovin On Me” below.

Last week Jack Harlow crowned himself the best white rapper ever next to Eminem after dropping his latest album, Jackman, but Machine Gun Kelly apparently doesn’t agree and let his feelings be known on a new scathing freestyle.Taking to the front lawn of his crib and borrowing Jay-Z’s “Renegade” beat (which was produced and featured Eminem), Kelly clapped right at the Kentucky rapper and did what he could to deep fry his brown curls and serve him with a side of shade.
With chipped painted nails gripping the mic, MGK went straight for the jugular with lines like, “I see why they call you Jackman, you jacked man’s whole swag. Give Drake his flow back / Man. I eat rappers like Pac-Man. Must I regurgitate and show you who’s in my stomach from the last dance?”
Whoa! Was he referring to Eminem in that last line, as many felt he “ate” the iconic rapper in their battle from yesteryear? We don’t know, but truth be told, Machine Gun Kelly does have bars, and we don’t think Jack Harlow can go toe-to-toe with the rapper/pop artist who sometimes raps.
Twitter Reacts To The White Rapper Beef
While we await a response from the white rapper who hails from the home of the Colonel, the Twitterverse is already sharing their thoughts on this latest unforeseen white rap beef and are pretty much enjoying the festivities as we pretty much know it won’t lead to gun violence (just sayin’).
Check out Machine Gun Kelly’s two-minute freestyle below, and let us know your thoughts on the possible beef brewing out in the sticks.

Jack Harlow is back. The 25-year-old rapper unveiled his third studio album, Jackman., at the stroke of midnight on Friday (April 28).
The star, whose full first name is in fact Jackman, surprised fans with the project announcement just two days before its release. He revealed the release date alongside the album cover, a shot of a shirtless Harlow standing with his arms crossed in an alleyway next to some garbage cans.
At the time, Harlow didn’t reveal anything surrounding the album’s track list and features, but the secrecy was well worth the wait.

Spanning 10 songs and a running time of just 24 minutes, it’s a truly solo effort; Harlow doesn’t lean on any featured artists.
Jackman. follows Harlow’s 2022 sophomore album, Come Home the Kids Miss You, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and produced hits like “Nail Tech,” “Dua Lipa” and the Hot 100 chart topper, “First Class.” His 2020 debut album, That’s What They All Say, launched the rapper into the spotlight with “What’s Poppin.”
It’s a busy year for Harlow, who is set to star in the upcoming remake of White Men Can’t Jump, which will hit Hulu on May 19.
Until then, listen to Jackman. in full below.
