A List of Nicknames of East African Celebrities

Oftentimes, we see these celebrities fancying being called with their nicknames more than they do when referred by their birth names.

In fact, majority of their fans in this generation do not identify their iconic celebrities with their actual names.

Nicknames, as well all know; are those identities one gives him/herself or being branded by someone else as a result of street credibility or infamy.
