Eminem is king of Facebook

Eminem has beaten Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber to become the most popular star on Facebook.

The rapper scored over 30 million hits on the social network site finishing nearly 200,000 followers ahead of the 'Born This Way' singer.

Rihanna wasn't far behind with over 26 million followers, while Justin Bieber trailed further with 23 million.

The figure is a huge milestone for Eminem who had only 2.7 million followers on Facebook a year ago.

Despite his popularity, Lady Gaga's Twitter prescence is much stronger.

She has 8.7 million followers compared with the Detroit rapper's 3.4 million fans.
