I made a thread about this topic a while back:
Why didnt T.I. "Candle Guy" name stick?
but while we at it
I'm not sure which Wu-Tang rapper was trying to brand themselves as "Rollie Fingers" but I legitimately never called them that
Remember when Fabolous was trying to call himself William H Bonney? Which was actually a fake name that the outlaw Billy The Kid would use sometimes, and since Fab was also trying to call himself "The Kid" at least it kinda made sense a little. But then outta nowhere Jay-Z just tried to swaggerjack Fab for no reason and started calling himself William H Holla for a while there?
doubt Imma ever call Durkio "The Voice", but he did get Durkio to stick, so there is that
certainly wont ever call Drake "Champagne Papi" nor "Young Angel" - he legit might be the worst at these nicknames. I doubt nobody but Drake really refers to Weezy as "Young Lion"
