It reminds me of when Prince changed his name to an illegible symbol and everyone said, "Haha, no." and started calling him "The artist formerly known as Prince" because a whole sentence was easier.
He only did that because Warner Bros argued that they owned the Prince trademark, despite it being his actual name, and wouldn't let him use it outside of a contract with them.
Him changing his artist name was basically a big 'fuck you' to them, and TAFKAP being in common usage was an even bigger one.
Wow I didn’t know that.
