Sorry, Oreo! They previously held the record to having the most likes in a 24 hour period….and by previously, I mean 5 hours before Weezy made them the odd cookie in the plastic bag ’bout to get crushed by a building. Oreo attempted to set the record by asking fans for their help on their Facebook wall. And the fans obliged, giving them the title. They even held a ceremony with Guiness to celebrate! When Wayne got word, he decided he wanted to crush the competition. By reaching out to his fans via Twitter and Facebook, he managed to get 588,243 likes…killing Oreo’s 114,619 likes in a 24 hour period.
Wayne’s digital manager said in a statement, “I want people to think ‘Bieber, Gaga and Lil Wayne.’ The traffic we do is ridiculous and no one really knows.” Well, now they do!
