List of East African celebrity nicknames you need to know

Most celebrities find a cool sounding alter ego name for their brands. These names are most of the time, not their official government names. Some get branded by their fans others by their street credibility or infamy.

Apart from that, when most make a name for themselves, they add more AKAs to the original name that the public first knew them from.
