Trivia
- This is the first season:
- If Caitlyn Jenner is counted, this season is tied with Season 4 for having the most female rappers despite not having a female vs female battle.
- According to Peter, this could be the final season, and so he wants to try "everything" and make it as good as possible.
- EpicLLOYD, however, doubts that it will be the last season, according to a Facebook livestream from August 18th, 2016.[2]
- This season has the most US Presidents as rappers, with a total of four, being Thomas Jefferson, Donald Trump, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.
- However, six Presidents appeared altogether, with Barack Obama and George Washington making a cameo appearance.
- If Ronald Reagan's appearance in Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton had not been scrapped, the total number of Presidential rappers would be five.
