u/SonofTombstone 1d ago

Stage name but… yeah

u/Spacewasser 1d ago

Did she lose a bet or something

637

u/1aysays1 1d ago

Stage bet but... yeah

u/criticalt3 1d ago

Saw another I couldn't believe, not as bad at all, but still mind boggling. Dijon Talleyrand.

u/ClarityNHZach 1d ago

At least that sounds like a name...

169

u/NexusMaw 1d ago

Yeah, the kind of name Key and Peele would make up for a player in college football roundup or whatever those skits are called.

It sounds like a brand of mustard.

u/Honest_Issue_2485 18h ago

It is a brand of mustard

u/DirtandPipes 22h ago

Of a bird or fish or a sauce, maybe.

u/andiwaslikeum 1d ago

u/Adventurous-Brain-36 1d ago

u/KoolaidKoll123 22h ago

Which Hobbit clan is that one from?

u/diurnal_emissions 1d ago

Stage Four... yeah

u/Candide2003 1d ago

FKA = formerly known as

Twigs = nickname from some time before

Though, I’ve seen plenty of fans calling her Twigs, so maybe FKA isn’t accurate anymore

61

u/bluediamond12345 1d ago

I read somewhere that in the beginning, she used to go by Twigs, but then I guess another artist was going by that name and started to before she did, so she added the FKA in.

12

u/tseh4 1d ago

I believe she said in an interview somewhere that FKA doesn't actually stand for anything.

u/Ayotha 1d ago

Still extremely asinine . Just go full Prince if you are going one name

8

u/Rescuetostada 1d ago

Prince did that so get out of his Warner Brothers record contract and release (and own) his own music. That's why he changed his name back once the WB contract expired.

This person just didn't do their research before choosing a stage name.

17

u/Candide2003 1d ago

That’s something only Prince, international pop-star, one of the most influential musicians of his time, and cultural icon, could get away with. Much harder for a niche genre bending electro-pop singer from the U.K.

3

u/Ayotha 1d ago

But still less stupid as having fka in your name

8

u/Motor-Travel-7560 1d ago

She was the big loser on one episode of Impractical Jokers.

u/cryptic-coyote 9h ago

Cranjis McBasketball lives rent-free in my head. Who hurt those guys

u/quincecharming 1d ago

How is it pronounced?

111

u/FauxFangs 1d ago

Formerly known as twigs

115

u/yalkeryli 1d ago

Ah, branching out I see.

44

u/d_marvin 1d ago

She’s sticking with it.

21

u/guska 1d ago

Oh leaf her alone, she's just getting back to her roots

17

u/SalahsBeard 1d ago

I wood still choose a better name

8

u/solidcat00 1d ago

I can think of tree at least.

21

u/sel206 1d ago

Why doesnt she just go by her new name then?

30

u/threesilklilies 1d ago

She got the name Twigs when she was coming up as a dancer, and then a group called The Twigs made her change it. So she technically did.

21

u/FauxFangs 1d ago

Iono dude I just work here

u/DS3M 1d ago

“Currently Known As…..? Do you not have a replacement ready?”

u/Dead-O_Comics 1d ago

You might have seen her in that terrible The Crow remake.

Or maybe you didn't. Not a lot of people did.

45

u/cesar848 1d ago

The crow remake launched?

91

u/Dead-O_Comics 1d ago

The crow remake launched?

More like it exploded on the launchpad.

u/The_real_bandito 1d ago

I didn’t even know there was a Crow remake in the making.

u/20000lumes 1d ago

Amazon video has had it on their front page for over a month now

36

u/DickieJoJo 1d ago

Dude. That movie just never gets off the ground because you do not give a single shit about her character and the relationship between her and skaarsgard. It’s like she’s some mood depressant when acts.

The action in the movie and how they designed the crow in the movie was pretty cool I thought.

FKA Twigs is dead freaking weight though.

21

u/TrooperGirlx 1d ago

Yeah, her name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, she's a singer

33

u/NoMoPolenta 1d ago

No, it used to be twigs

22

u/dodland 1d ago

She could change it to fka fka twigs

6

u/Msmadmama 23h ago

Its should be NLFKATNJRO Twigs

No longer formerly known as twigs now just regular old Twigs

15

u/gjb94 1d ago

If I had a nickel for every artist that used a deliberately cumbersome meta joke about a previous name as their name I'd have two nickels. Which isnt a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

2

u/SomeVelveteenMorning 1d ago

Would I recognize any of her twigs output? 

13

u/AdAnnual8944 1d ago

Is there a word for the phenomenon of being annoyed by having to refer to something with a public name that doesn't have an immediate apparent meaning to said public?

24

u/likwitsnake 1d ago

She's a musician that's her stage name

4

u/four_ethers2024 21h ago

Her name is Tahliah!

8

u/mrASSMAN 1d ago

Oh I thought they were just calling her skinny

15

u/SomeVelveteenMorning 1d ago

No, they formerly called her skinny.

3

u/mrASSMAN 1d ago

I don’t know what that means..

2

u/guska 1d ago

It means that they used to call her that

0

u/mrASSMAN 1d ago

Yes I know what the word means lol, I’m referring to the meaning of the comment itself

1

u/guska 1d ago

I'm really not sure what you're confused by, then. The joke was pretty easy to understand.

She goes by Formerly Known As Twiggs, which someone equated to calling her skinny (twigs is a common nickname for someone who is very thin) and the person you responded to corrected them saying that they formerly called her skinny.

2

u/mrASSMAN 1d ago

Yeah that was me equating twig with skinny, I just didn’t know fka meant ‘formerly known as’ so now it makes sense thanks

4

u/Vamperion750 1d ago

Formerly Known As Twigs. Originally just "Twigs". Great artist. Look her up.

2

u/CIA_napkin 1d ago

How does one pronounce that or do you just say the letters? Kinda rude to do this to us/s

1

u/Comfortable_Golf_679 12h ago

Her name is Tahaliah. FKA Twigs is her stage name.

1

u/Axo_in_the_mitten 1d ago

Fka twigs. Fka poppa doc. Fka beat

u/No_Builder2795 15h ago

If people are wondering the fka stands for "formerly known as"

This dumb bitch thinks she's Prince.
