Nicki Minaj
Contrary to popular belief, Nicki's natural hair color is not her best kept secret; the sassy singer's birth name is actually Onika Tanya Maraj. That's a mouthful to rap!
Katy PerryShe started her music career as Katy Hudson, the gospel singer. The singer later changed her surname to Perry, her mother's maiden name, because she thought Katy Hudson sounded too similar to Kate Hudson.
She changed her sound to pop-rock, cause that's what sells.
Akon
The Senegalese rapper has said in interviews that his full name is Aliaune Damala Akon Thiam. He is often credited as Aliaune Thiam, and his full name has been reported both as Aliaune Badara Thiam and Alioune Badara Thiam. Maybe we'll never know!
Bruno Mars
Fans may know his as Bruno Mars, but his real name is Peter Gene Hernandez.
Jamie Foxx
As a young comedian, Eric Marlon Bishop realized that females were often called first to perform on open mic nights, so he changed his name to Jamie Foxx.
His new surname was also a tribute to comedian Redd Foxx.
