Lil Wayne Is The Big Man On Facebook

How can you get more than ½ million likes on Facebook in 24 hours? For starters, become Lil Wayne. Hot on the heels of Oreo’s record-setting campaign for Most Likes which resulted in 114,000+ clicks, rapper Lil Wayne obliterated their attempt with a Guinness World Record setting post of his own.

Mashable reports:

“Yesterday, Oreo attempted to set the record with a post to the brand’s Facebook Wall. The post read, “‘Like’ this post to join Oreo fans around the world in setting a Guinness World Record for most “Likes” to a post in 24 hours. Oreo is the world’s favorite cookie, and with your help, it will be the most ‘Liked.’”
Shortly after that post surfaced, Lil Wayne announced to the world that he was also going after the Guinness World Record for most Facebook likes in 24 hours.
At the end of the 24-hour period, Oreo had 114,619 likes; five hours later, when the rapper’s 24-hour period had expired, his post had 588,243 likes, easily trumping Oreo’s bid for the Guinness World Record.”

Guess it’s called star power for a reason.
