For example would one get warned for calling Chris, Breezy even though he is referred to as that consistently, by others and himself? Same with Wayne and Weezy, Kanye and Yeezy, etc.
I remember someone talking about how they got warned for calling Andre 3000, 3 stacks when that has been like a signature alias of his for years yet I see people calling Madonna "Madge" on a regular basis with no reprecussion. So a bitch is confused and inquiring minds would like to know.

I can't speak for other mods, but I don't warn nicknames that the celebrities use. What happens is that, sometimes, certain mods are unaware - if you're not that deep into hip-hop, you'd have no idea that Dre calls himself 3 Stacks.
OTOH, virtually everyone knows Madge - it's more common to call her that than the Material Girl these days.
