As if on cue, the Twitter world is buzzing after Snoop Dogg changed his name to Snoop Lion this week, following what he describes as a life changing trip to Jamaica, earlier in the year.
The popular #UpgradedRapperNames hashtag is already trending on Twitter with users suggesting other names for famous hip-hop artists. Here are a few funny ones we spotted:
Medium Wayne (Lil’ Wayne) Medical Student Dre (Dr Dre) Lay Z (Jay Z) 50 Cent Plus Tax (50 Cent) And last but not least, P Didn’t (P Diddy)
Snoop Lion, real name Calvin Broadus, is also the subject of a new documentary ‘Reincarnated’ which will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival next month with a behind the scenes look at the making of his new reggae album of the same name. The documentary also chronicles his journey onto a more spiritual path in life, where Snoop, says he is shedding the gangster rap image to make music his children can listen to.
