Top 10 Dumbest Rapper Names

Soulja Boy

DeAndre Cortez Way (born July 28, 1990), known professionally as Soulja Boy Tell 'Em or simply Soulja Boy, is an American rapper and record producer. In September 2007, his debut single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" peaked at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for seven non-consecutive weeks. The single... read more

For sure, I agree, and it's not just his name that's random, but the things he sings as well. Who says Crank That, Harry Potter, or SpongeBob?

A terrible name for one of the worst rappers of all time. Even a parrot on drugs could rap better than this good-for-nothing fool...

Don't even make any sense. "Sola boy tell me"? Tell who? Some rappers are idiots...

Waka Flocka Flame

Juaquin James Malphurs, better known by his stage name Waka Flocka Flame or simply Waka Flocka, is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He rose to prominence with his 2010 debut album Flockaveli, which included hits like Hard in da Paint. He has also appeared on reality television shows, including... read more

Where did he even get his MC name from? Did he get it from the Muppets or something? He was watching the Muppets and was like, "Yo man, that's what I'm gonna call myself. Waka Flocka Flame!"

Sounds like a tongue twister. He must have chosen his stage name while being high on weed.

I've never heard of this guy, but his name is definitely the worst.

Lil Wayne

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was discovered by Brian "Baby" Williams at a young age and signed to Cash Money Records, where he became one-quarter of the rap group Hot Boys. He later founded his own label, Young Money Entertainment, signing artists such... read more

It isn't creative, and it's annoying, but unlike a lot of people who believe everything they hear, Wayne writes his lyrics.
Those videos of freestyles were supposed to be funny (not that they were), but Wayne was too high to rap. Not that I'm saying he is an amazing rapper (although his earlier stuff had a cool style), I'm saying don't believe everything you read on the internet or hear in gossip. Just saying, it's obvious he writes his own stuff. The higher-ups in the news would have written stories about it if he didn't write. It's clear from how unintelligent most of his lyrics are that he wrote them. It's really not hard to rhyme stupid, which is what he does.

P. Diddy

Sean John Combs, also known by his stage names Puff Daddy, Puffy, P. Diddy, Diddy, Love, and Brother Love, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, actor, record producer, entrepreneur, and convicted felon.

In September 2024, Combs was arrested on federal charges including sex trafficking, racketeering... read more

What kind of name is this? It makes him sound stupid or like he's a baby or something! Why would he choose a name like this?

Define "P. Diddy" - A tune that plays in your head while you are doing the potty dance.

Why did he change it from Puff Daddy anyway? It certainly wasn't an improvement.

Lil Poopy

Lil Poopy, born Luis Rivera Jr., is an American rapper whose music video for the remix of French Montana's "Pop That" went viral.

In 2016, he began appearing on the Lifetime reality series The Rap Game. He subsequently secured a multi-year record deal with the Sony Music imprint Epic Records at... read more

Uh...what was going through this kid's head when he decided to call himself that?
"Hey, I'm gonna go by the name Lil Poopy! Surely, no one will make fun of me." Sorry, kid... I hate to break it to you, but that was a poor choice.

By far the worst rapper name ever! I don't care that he was only 8 years old. It's still a horrible name for anyone!

Is this a bathroom joke? This is really childish. This should be number 1.

Shorty S***stain

Showing how much he values himself and how much his audience should value him. Nice job.

Wow, very dumb name. It should be second place, right after Soulja Boy Tell 'Em.

Oh my God... I literally can't get a word out of my mouth after seeing this!

Vanilla Ice

Robert Matthew Van Winkle, known by his stage name Vanilla Ice, is an American rapper, actor, and television host. He became internationally famous in 1990 with the hit single Ice Ice Baby, the first hip hop single to top the Billboard charts. In addition to music, he has worked in real estate and hosted... read more

Lil Wayne and 50 Cent are alright, Eminem is okay, and I find no problem with T-Pain. Now, Vanilla Ice, wow, that is so stupid. I also agree with Soulja Boy and Flava Flav.

Not a particularly good rap name to use. Vanilla? Ice?

Vanilla Ice? What does that even mean?

50 Cent

Curtis James Jackson III, better known by his stage name 50 Cent, is an American rapper, actor, entrepreneur, and producer. He gained fame with his 2003 debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin', which was a commercial success and included hit singles like In da Club. In addition to music, he has built a diverse... read more

What a stupid name. But, I have to hand it to the guy. He did really well in the hip-hop game and in pop culture while having the dumbest name of all time! Now that is an accomplishment.

Ha! His name is 50 Cent because his music is only worth 50 cents. Therefore, this is a very fitting stage name for him.

Because he knows that he's worth 50 cents only!

Peanut Butter Wolf

Holy God! What the hell is a Peanut Butter Wolf? A wolf made of peanut butter? Or a wolf that eats it?
Seriously, this is the most ridiculous name I have ever heard, and probably the dumbest name ever, especially for a rapper!

How is this not top of the list? This is the funniest rapper name I have ever heard of. It sounds like an idiot thought of his favorite things and just put the words next to each other.

OK, this is plain stupid. He probably couldn't decide if he wanted to be called Peanut Butter or Wolf, so BAM! Still, I can't understand why this person chose this as his professional name. I mean, Peanut Butter Wolf? Come on, really.

Booty Smackinz

This guy must have been pretty stupid to come up with this.

Only a horny person would come up with this name.

?

DD Osama

What kind of name is DD Osama? Why would anyone want to name themselves after the terrorist responsible for 9/11, one of the most tragic and infamous disasters in US history?

Naming yourself after the terrorist who masterminded the deadliest terrorist attack in history guarantees that nobody should take you seriously.

I don't know what's worse - the fact that this guy named himself after an international terrorist or that he thought it was a good stage name.

?

Gnash

I'm aware that his stage name is based on his real name, but that aside, "Gnash" is still a pretty ridiculous stage name.
Add to that the fact that this guy's music is beyond awful, with horrible lyrics and production, and you've got this flaming pile of garbage artist. Although his music does make you want to "gnash" your teeth at how laughably bad it is, so maybe he's onto something.

Ol' Dirty Bastard

This is what he is for calling himself that: an ol' dirty bastard.

Although I have too much respect for him, he has the most stupid stage name in the whole music industry! R.I.P.

Snoop Dogg

Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. (born October 20, 1971), known as Snoop Dogg, is an American rapper, actor, record producer, and television personality from Long Beach, California. He first achieved fame in 1992 on Dr. Dre's debut solo single Deep Cover and the album The Chronic. Snoop has since sold over... read more

What is he, the drugged-out cousin of Snoopy, Charlie Brown's dog?

He needs to be at the top of the list. After all, he is Number One!

Baby Boy Da Prince

Birdman

He also has a nickname Baby. Really? What grown man calls himself Baby?

Baby Bash

Ronald Ray Bryant, professionally known as Baby Bash, is an American rapper and singer. He was born on October 18, 1975, and is of Mexican and Anglo-American descent. Baby Bash is known for hits such as Suga Suga and Cyclone, and originally performed under the name Baby Beesh before adopting his current... read more

Why you would make your rapper name sound completely perverted is completely beyond me.

Ty Dolla Sign

Tyrone William Griffin Jr., born April 13, 1982, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He first gained major recognition in 2010 for his feature on YG's "Toot It and Boot It", a song he also wrote and produced for Def Jam Recordings. In the summer of 2013, he signed a record... read more

Flo Rida

Tramar Lacel Dillard, better known by his stage name Flo Rida, is an American rapper and pop music artist from Carol City, Florida. He is known for songs such as "Low," "Right Round," "Sugar," "Club Can't Handle Me," "Good Feeling," "Whistle," "Wild Ones," "My House," and "GDFR." Flo Rida has achieved... read more

It's literally just the word "Florida" but split into an awful rapper that gives Florida a bad name.

Chamillionaire

Hakeem Seriki, better known by his stage name Chamillionaire, is an American rapper, entrepreneur, and investor from Houston, Texas. He gained widespread fame with his 2005 hit single Ridin', which won a Grammy Award. In recent years, he has become known for his investments in technology startups.

Was previously thought to have evolved from Charmander the Pokémon.

Sucks to become a chamillionaire if that worth isn't held by gold bars.

Nas

Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones (born September 14, 1973) is an American rapper and entrepreneur from Queensbridge, New York. His 1994 debut album Illmatic is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. Nas has stayed relevant over decades by releasing acclaimed albums and pursuing ventures... read more

It's how you say nose in Romanian, although I'm not sure of the spelling.

Well, his name sounds Nas-ty. Get it?

Pimp Daddy Welfare

The Game

Jayceon Terrell Taylor, better known by his stage name The Game, is an American rapper and actor. He was born on November 29, 1979, in Los Angeles, California. Game spent most of his childhood in foster care, despite being aware of his siblings. He signed with Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment in 2003... read more

The name is The Game, and it's so lame.

Flava Flav

It's my opinion that rappers must get their names by drawing them out of a hat. How else do you explain names like DMX, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Peanut Butter Wolf, and Flava Flav?

Haha, he is what Lil Wayne will look like 40 years on. Flava Flav might have been cool in the 70s and 80s, but it's just whack now.

Lil Uzi Vert

Symere Bysil Woods, professionally known as Lil Uzi Vert, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. They were born on July 31, 1995, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Lil Uzi Vert gained recognition with the 2015 mixtape Luv Is Rage and the single Money Longer.... read more

His name sounds too extended, especially the "Vert" part. I think he should drop that part and stay as Lil Uzi.

If you have the word "Lil" in your rapper name, you will live a bad life.

I laughed when I heard his name for the first time.

Eminem

Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is an American rapper, actor, and music producer born on October 17, 1972, in St. Joseph, Missouri. Eminem has sold over 220 million records, making him the best-selling hip-hop artist of all time. In addition to his solo career, he was a member of D12 and (with... read more

I mean, let's be fair here. He shares the same name as a type of candy. Also, I'd just like to take this time to say that Skittles are better.

His raps are amazing, but when I first heard his name, I instantly thought of chocolate.

Not a bad name if it sounded like the bite-sized chocolate candy.

Gucci Mane

Radric Delantic Davis, known professionally as Gucci Mane, is an American rapper who has released 12 studio albums and over 70 mixtapes. In 2007, he founded his own label, 1017 Records. He is credited with helping to pioneer the hip hop subgenre of trap music, along with fellow Atlanta-based rappers... read more

Why not try to name himself Prada Mane or Armani Boyz? And Brick Squad is a dumb name for a rap group.
