There is no mention of Satan (the 'adversary') in any Old Testament scripture written before the Babylonian Exile. Scholars say Satan entered Jewish belief from the Zoroastrianism, where Angra Mainyu was the wholly malign adversary of Ahura Mazda. Thus, Satan was created in Jewish belief somewhere around 500 BCE.
How many rappers worship the devil?
If one has to guess, then I would say zero. A person cannot really sell their souls to anyone nor anything. Rappers, like any other successful person get their fame and money by working hard.
Remind yourself that the devil probably does not even exist. Satan only entered Judaism after the Babylonian Exile and even then only as the loyal assistant of God, tasked to prove the righteousness of the faithful, as we see in the Book of Job. If he evolved in Christian belief to be a wholly evil adversary of God, this merely proves that he is a figment of the imagination. Do not be afraid of him.
No, he has the company of all those who couldn't get into heaven plus demons, etc. etc.

Is beelzebub a demon or the devil?
Depends. In mythology Baalzebub or Beelzebub means "Lord of the Flies", a demon. In the New Testament, Mark 3:22, the Pharisees accuse Jesus of casting out demons in the name of Beelzeboul, a prince of demons. II Kings 1:2-3,6, refers to Beelzebub (Baalzebub) as Lord of the flies. Baal is a semitic word for lord or master.
Beelzebub was the god of the Ekronites:
2Kings 1:2 Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria, and was injured; so he sent messengers and said to them, "Go, inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this injury."
The Jews looked upon all the deities of the Gentiles as demons, or devils; and since Beelzebub was the chief of them, in Mark 3:22 they thought they could not use a more reproachful name, to give to Christ, than this.
Beelzebub is not Satan:
Mark 3:23 So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: "How can Satan cast out Satan?
Satan will not destroy his own kingdom.
Smart enough to have some people believe he exists. This is based on the ability of people to convince themselves that a non-existent being not only plays an important role in their lives, but can do so intelligently.
It is enough to acknowledge that Satan does not really exist. A non-existent devil can do you no harm.
However, if you are not yet ready for this step, pray to Jesus Christ. At least this will provide mental support for renouncing Satan.
It seems that even today we do not really know what the devil is supposedly doing or where:
Satan entered post-Exilic Judaism as the 'adversary' but under the instructions of God, as his loyal assistant, tasked to test the righteousness of the faithful. If this is correct, Satan goes where God sends him, just as we see in the Book of Job.
In Christianity, Satan evolved to become the devil, seeking to cause the faithful to deviate from righteousness and to destroy God's kingdom. Satan continued to evolve throughout much of the Middle Ages, at time as a figure of fun and sometimes with changes in how he exerts his wicked powers. The ambiguity continues in belief today, which is why (i) he can be in hell being punished for his disobedience, or (ii) in hell happily punishing the souls of the wicked, yet also (iii) wandering the earth tempting every person alive today.
On the other hand, as the Jews did not even know about Satan until around 500 BCE and as they still see him as a loyal assistant of God, he probably does not really exist. If he does not exist, then the devil is only to be found in our imagination.

How did Satan get in the Garden of Eden?
A:
At no point in the story of the Garden of Eden (Genesis chapter 3) does it ever say that Satan was present in the Garden. In fact, God is said to punish snakes, or serpents, for taking part in the temptation of Eve, causing all snakes to crawl on their bellies (Genesis 3:14). Assuming for a moment that the story is historically true, this is not the action of a just God who would have realised that the guilty party was really Satan in disguise if this had been the case. It is only is more recent times that some religious leaders have placed Satan in this role, aware that snakes could never really talk.
