On Monday, Florida senator Marco Rubio sent out a tweet addressing the coronavirus pandemic and the possibility of needing military assistance to control normal civilian functions, aka Martial Law. However, Mr. Rubio misspelled the term “Martial Law” and instead tweeted out about “Marshall Law,” which caused the term to start trending on Twitter and left people thinking that a new Marshall Mathers album was on the way.
"Please stop spreading stupid rumors about marshall law. COMPLETELY FALSE," Marco tweeted. "We will continue to see closings & restrictions on hours of non-essential businesses in certain cities & states. But that is NOT marshall law."
His unfortunate misspelling of the term, which refers to a military body taking control of a certain area, became a trending topic and confused Eminem fans into thinking Shady was dropping a new album titled Marshall Law.
"Saw 'Marshall Law' trending n thought Eminem had dropped ANOTHER surprise album," someone commented on Twitter. "No, no. Marshall Law is real. It is just the title of the next Eminem album soon to be released," another Twitter user posted.
Someone else added, "Damn I was wondering why Marshall Law is trending. I seriously thought Eminem is dropping a new album."

OnlyFans Starts Trending on Twitter Thanks To Hashtag Rap
Popular monthly subscription website OnlyFans, which has become a prime destination for amateur porn, became a top trending topic after many began rhyming it in tweets to fulfill their hashtag rapper dreams.
When people get bored on the Internet, strange-yet-entertaining things can happen. In the latest episode of WTF, Twitter decided to make monthly subscription website OnlyFans, which is now the go-to platform for those with entrepreneurial amateur porn aspirations, a trending topic by using a rhyming technique mainly associated with hashtag rap. Strange yet wildly entertaining, indeed!

We can't exactly say where or who this started with, but it definitely has seemed to take Twitter by storm for the time being. Basically, the rules are pretty simple: Make a statement that starts with "OnlyFans, but...," add your own clever quip, leave a few spaces in between and then finally end your tweet with "Only __" by filling the blank with something that rhymes with "fans" but also ties back to your original statement. Being that SoundCloud rappers and emcees like Big Sean, Drake and Nicki Minaj have made chart-topping hits utilizing the technique, your next tweet could probably lead to a Billboard Hot 100 hit. If not, at least you can get a few subscribers out of it all if "pay-for-play" is your thing.
Check out a few of our favorite hashtag rap OnlyFans tweets below, and share some of your own down below in the comments:
Future Has Gradually Become A Meme For Every Trending Topic
Future is the ultimate meme fodder for so many trending topics.
It appears as though Future has become a recurring meme for plenty of major trending topics on the Internet. Of course, we're all familiar with the photo of Future looking down at his phone and presumably texting someone that has been turned into a "toxic ex-boyfriend meme" to depict a man trying to lure his way back into his ex's life. The meme first gained traction around the holiday season last year, as it became the perfect way to portray those pesky exes who claim to be feeling festive and sentimental around Thanksgiving and Christmas in order to have an excuse to text you. The reason that Future in particular was crowned the perfect subject for these kinds of occasions is because it is widely believed that the notorious womanizer is likely indulging in similar toxic behaviour, but you didn't hear that from us.

Though the holidays are behind us now, fans are still finding new ways to use the meme to react to various trending topics, and have even turned other media of Future into some hilarious memery.
Trending Topic: World War III
Back in January when everyone was terrified that Donald Trump had lowkey triggered World War III by ordering the assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, the Internet coped the only way it knows how: turned it into a meme. Folks made good use of the toxic ex-boyfriend meme to portray someone using a current world event as an excuse to remind their ex of their past relationship.
Trending Topic: Lena Waithe's Marriage
Back when writer/producer/actress Lena Waithe announced her separation from wife Alana Mayo after just two months of marriage, it was rumoured that Lena had cheated on Alana with Harriet star, Cynthia Erivo. Future's infamous toxicity came in handy once again, as Twitter users compared Lena's adulterous ways to Future by editing a photo of the rapper looking at himself in the mirror.
Trending Topic: Hot Girl Summer
Summer 2019 went down in history as Hot Girl Summer thanks to self-proclaimed Hot Girl, Megan Thee Stallion. However, Future was the frontrunner of the opposing Hot Boys, so when he announced his EP, Save Me, back in June, it looked like Hot Girl Summer had some competition. A clip of Future declaring, "it's an evil world we live in," was used as every Hot Girl's reaction to the realization that the Hot Boys were coming for their downfall.
Trending Topic: NBA Games
One of Future's most well-known catchphrases was born out of an interview with Nardwuar back in 2014, in which he uttered the word, "sensational." Gifs of the moment have been used on the Internet ever since, but it's particularly popular as a reaction to various NBA games. The Toronto Raptors even referenced his famous catchphrase on their official Twitter account to express their sentiments about OG Anunoby's impressive dunk during the Raptors' game against the Washington Wizards in April 2018.
Trending Topic: Custody Battle
Of course, nothing can beat the Future memes during his custody battle with his ex, Ciara. Back in 2016, Future was granted joint custody of their son, Future Jr., despite Ciara's insistence that he was not present in the child's life. The memes were abundant, but the general sentiment was that Future had schemed his way into maintaining custody of Future Jr.
