Nothing against the breh, but wtf did "Leon" (Robinson, the actor) do to deserve to go by one name?

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

Especially a common ass name like Leon You know many Leon's I know? That one name/mononym shyt is pretty bold. Especially if you're not a singer. Breh put himself along side the likes of Prince, Beyonce, Madonna, etc

nikka who the hell is you?

 

[get these nets]

good post.

Heard some interesting stories about how entertainers come up with their stage names.
The late Robert Guillaume, francisized "William" to make his name more memorable to casting agents.(growing up, I thought he was French Caribbean)
Eric Bishop became Jamie Foxx because it was a genderless first name, and it helped him get called for comedy sets
This would be an interesting question to ask Leon.

He's the biopic King, quietly.

 

[old pig]

never knew his last name til this thread

 

[Doobie Doo]

More importantly who told Flex he could go by one name?

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Cause he did it and no one said a thing about it

His band Leon & the Peoples is straight too

 

[Lootha VanDraws]

He said, "Nobody's coming to see you OTIS!!"

As in Flex Alexander?
I always knew him by his full name, but I always call him Flexb"Anderson"

Youre one of my favorite posters on here but, leon is that dude

Preciate it breh It's not a diss, just genuine curiosity.

Ahhh Leon is a great example of a tenet that I truly believe: if you believe it; it is. Leon said I’m important enough to go by one name and believed it. Therefore, everyone else did. There is so much power in your own belief
