messages with he and Drake before the song dropped in the messages Drake compared cardi to Michael Jackson for not sending him the verse then Ian sent a message saying I didn't like his verse so he redid it and we'll turn it in right before the album this caused many fans to get upset with Ian Connor before Ken and loone were as big as they are now they used to be openers for card's concerts then as Ken grew more popular Lan was an opener for Ken's concerts then as lone grew more popular homicide gang was an opener for loon concerts and now it's gotten to the point where even homicide gang is headlining their own tour Anthony fantana was a YouTuber known for rating albums shortly after they release when he first reviewed cardi he wasn't a fan but grew more fond of him after hearing

himself as are X X-Man teen x teen bean and boy Barbie he's reference these nicknames many times throughout his songs you should [ __ ] with [Music] Ken read a lot of the X-Men comics and that's where he got the inspiration for the X and his nicknames he also covered this topic during his freestyle 2 genius video x to me means like just like a blank like it's me filling in a blank space like it's

some reason a lot of fans make fun of Ken Carson for his smile he used to smile a lot like in his music videos but he can now be found smiling less and even covering his smile potentially due to the bullying that's my bike Punk that [ __ ] too funny bro another unfortunate Trend in the Opium fan base is to call destroy lonely ugly people even made posts naming all the Opium members allegations then just saying lone is ugly as his allegation another thing people people say to insult Ken Carson is that he looks old people even made edits with filters making him look much older than he actually is yeah sh the camera the girl man look at the sun look at crazy crazy I just went crazy but like something that was actually funny about this is that before Ken Carson was really popular if you Googled Ken Carson age it would tell you that he was 79 years old during a 2021 interview with montreality Ken gave his opinion on people who judge others and it became a meme because of the way he said judger judging anybody or some [ __ ] bro that [ __ ] is annoying I hate when people come around judging it's a big turn off don't be a judger bro don't be a judger let God leave it up to God

multiple white diamond chains and tennis bracelets the cover of Ken Carson's Project X album was inspired by a 2012 film of the same name the film Project X was about three friends who attempted to gain popularity by throwing an out ofc control party partying is also the theme Ken had for this album there's actually a scrap cover to Ken's album that resembled the original film's poster even closer the Opium symbol is simply just an asteris the label opium's name is commonly styled with the Opium asterisk under the U which was inspired by the logo of fashion label K de garon the symbol is likely meant to be a simplified version of the top of a real Opium poppy Ken has shown his love for this symbol like on the scrap Project X cover I showed moments ago and he went as far as getting the symbol tatted on his neck as opium became a big name in the music industry a bunch of memes spawned around the label the most common meme is people seeing something with the black or goth aesthetic

came on December 26th 2020 when Ken made a tweet saying this [ __ ] academic's dumb ASF it's unclear exactly where this was coming from but it could have been relating to his inclusion on cardi song control which had released only a day prior to this tweet around 7 months later academics went on a rant about Ken after someone brought up his name the facts Ken is hard as [ __ ] I don't know I I

off a track list with a boatload of features Ken DM trippy afterward though clarifying that he wasn't aiming the disc toward him and that he's real enough to at anybody but the thing about that statement is Ken actually didn't add anybody in the disc he made another similar thing happened with cardi in August 2023 when he liked a tweet that made fun of trippy red selling 30 ,000 copies with his latest album cardi quickly unliked the Tweet Ken made a private Instagram account with the name a great chaos to share things about his upcoming album with the same name the account only allows

asking why she thinks cardi is gay and if there's a story behind she said there is and that card's been F slur for years and that he has skeletons in his closet she then says card's been taking dick

crediting him as the one who made him want to rap shout out to Lil yotti I met him at that one polarian Larry League show and he made me want to rap cuz he told me I could do whatever it's strange

that this is so far I'm going to start getting on this if you dig deeper into his past this wouldn't be a surprise cuz he has many old tweets basically showing that he was addicted to this type of content he even said he started watching these types of videos when he was just eight similar to Lone Ken also has a history of being addicted to adult videos there are loads of old tweets Ken has made showing off the addiction that he had Ken even admitted that he watched too much of this content when looking at the cover of homicide gang snot or not album someone realized that the face belonged to Taylor Swift they then found that the source image for the album cover came from a celebrity tongue fetish subreddit some people like to believe that Ken Carson is a furry he posted a

showing his music being played at a f [Music] Club loan actually responded to the video saying I own the rights to the song but not the vibe in late 2022 an old lone tweet from 2016 resurfaced showing him introducing Donald Trump as the next US president the rap page underground sound tweeted fans are removing destroy lonely songs from their playlists after now deleting a tweet from 2016 showing his support to then president Donald Trump surfaces I don't believe any fans were actually doing that though after Ken's lost files for tape was released a theory emerged that Ken is actually a woman the Theory comes from the fact that the chain on the cover of lost Files 4 is laid out exactly like the female gender symbol a message that loan sent to someone leaked that says I'm gay gang when loan was was 13 he replied to one of Tyler the crater's tweets calling him a f slur in March of 2022 the rapper Young KO said on Discord that he was joining opium Ken responded on Twitter not long after
