Metta World Peace Briefly Changes Name To Metta Minaj
The artist formerly known as Ron Artest has, once again, changed his name, albeit briefly. Metta World Peace, currently of the Sichuan Blue Whales, decided on a moniker change to "Metta Minaj" between Saturday 27 and Monday 30. Peace's short-term change was prompted by, unsurprisingly, a Nicki Minaj lyric from her song "Trini Dem Girls," where she raps "He said he wants a piece like Metta World." The Queens-bred basketball player is no stranger to rap music, having released a tragically forgotten album with guest verses from P. Diddy, Mike Jones, Juvenile, Nature, and Capone. The real Minaj's response? A series of laughing emojis.
