didnt a Basketball player change his name to Meta World Peace?....changing names at Facebook?....putting perfume on a pig but its still a pig
I had disabled the app on my phone, but still opened it up on the phone browser from time to time. This seals the deal though… Retrieving photos and cancelling account this weekend.
Ron Artest.
He was Metta World Peace from 2011 until he changed his name to Metta Sandiford-Artest in 2020. Next he'll be The Artest formerly known as Ron, using a symbol of a basketball player blocking a shot, in lieu of his name when it appears in print.
Artest was an All-Star and reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year when this incident occurred in the November 19, 2004 Pacers - Pistons game, in the last minute of play:

NBA Commissioner David Stern suspended Artest for the balance of the 2004-05 season, and the 2005 playoffs.
The media video-byte of the incident focused on a young boy in the stands crying.
Dennis Rodman wanted to have his name legally changed to Orgasm, and he wanted to play his final NBA game nude, but David Stern said no to both requests. Dennis has 26-28 known siblings on his father's side, and also claims to be the oldest of 47 children. His father is appropriately named Philander.
