NF, the superstar rapper that has exploded during the past decade by showing raw and real emotion surrounding his mental health journey, is the subject of some funny observation by music's all-time parody giant, "Weird Al" Yankovic.
Known for his comedic lyrics that are inspired by popular hit songs, Yankovic parodied himself, quoting his 2006 smash hit, "White & Nerdy." That track was a parody of "Ridin" by Chamillionaire and would go on to be one of "Weird Al" biggest tracks of all time, amassing over 100 million streams to date.
"Holy cow, he's white and happy," tweeted Yankovic, tagging the rapper and exploding both artists' fan bases with euphoric glee.
"Watch out!" retweeted one user. "NF is already huge. Get ready for the Yankovic bump!" That bump was explored in the latest award-winning, made-for-TV movie, Weird, starring Daniel Radcliff in the title role that cited the bump many artists have seen after being exposed by the "Wierd Al" spotlight.
NF has released two singles as he leads up to his April 21 release of Hope. In both, the rapper, known for spending an immense amount of detail and precision to his visuals as well as his music, is seen wearing white for the first time and actually smiling.
Here's to better days for rapper NF! Especially with "Weird Al" watching.
