Because we can.

It's a cute way for basic people to be shady.

Even though I stay calling Nicki Onika if I'm trynna drag her.

I've seen a lot of people in here calling Nicki Onika and Rihanna Robyn/Ms. Fenty

"Stefani" is cute tho.

lol I've referred to her as such a few times in the past being shady, but Gaga is one of my faves so it's all good. People call her Stefani because they see "Lady Gaga" as a manufactured persona and not who she truly is.

Actually I see ppl callin nicki onkia all the time and same wit katy. Soo

It's like when members go in threads and make a point of calling a member by their first name. So cheesy and clearly done for attention.

I call those artists all those things. I even have several offensive nicknames for Onika.

Its like when bullies call people by their last name.

Never done it myself but I think people do it to throw some light shade.

Its a cute name. I think. Sometimes people do shade by using it though

Because she's the only one people care about enough to know her real name.

Gurl, Ell-Oh-Ell. I call Kelly, Kellendria. Do I care about her? HELL TO THA NOE!

What's wrong with using real/first names?

I use Tenitra most of the time when referring to the glorious Tenitra Michelle Williams and I sure as hell love to use Kelendria when using Ms Kelly....

How disrespectful!

Anyway, I don't do that....but it's kinda cute, I think I will start doing it.

Its shade.

If you're a fan of the person you should not refer to them as their past name- refer to them as the name they wish to be called out of respect. Lady Gaga wants to be called lady gaga so call her lady gaga. Same with every other artist call them the name they desire if you have any respect for them. If not you'll comeoff as shady.


The worst is when people refer to marilyn manson as brian. Now thats more embarrassing then any of these pop divas real names. To go from a killer like 'manson' to 'brian'.
