You’d Be Surprised How This Pop Rapper Got His Name
Do you ever wonder how artists get their stage name? Do you know who Austin Richard Post is?
The story of how he got his rapper name is pretty cool. When he was 14 he ran his name through a random rap name generator and BAM - Post Malone. He thought it was perfect and it stuck.
According to his interview on Jimmy Fallon, Donald Glover's stage name, Childish Gambino, was born from the same generator WugTang Name Generator.
What is your rapper name?
Stacey’s name is Profound Lover and Bobby is Ruff Ninja.
