Fame
Daniel believes that he is a world-renowned, international celebrity singer-songwriter (and to a lesser extent, fashion model) with billions of fans. This delusion in particular ties into his delusions of grandeur, mainly brought on by his schizophrenia. While Daniel does have "fans" (If that is even the right word to refer to them by), it is not because of his music. Instead, people follow him purely because of his eccentric and disturbing behavior online. As noted in the Monkeyman Interview, Daniel genuinely believes that 10-15 percent of the Earths population are fans of him. This would mean that roughly 750,000,000 people in the world are fans of him. This is obviously untrue. It should be noted that the #DanielLarson hashtag on TikTok has over 1 billion views, but overall, this is not representative of Daniel's fame as a supposed "celebrity."
To further put things into perspective, Daniel has around 37,300+ monthly listeners on (now hacked) Spotify;[3] while Michael Jackson has 41.9 million; Taylor Swift, the top artist on Spotify, has 114.6 million. Needless to say, Daniel has a long way to go until he reaches the top charts, let alone have almost a billion fans. The reality of this situation seems to not phase Daniel, though.
This delusion of grandeur causes Daniel to continually believe that he needs a contract with a record label or management, leading to trolls manipulating him under the guise of it being for his music career. Daniel has signed with many "record labels," rotating through them at the drop of a hat, unlike most celebrities.

Nancy allegedly remarked that Daniel could maybe sing with Grace on stage one day, and when hearing this, our future president took that it heart.
