{{trope}}
In 1993, the musician [[Prince]] changed his name to an [[Lucky Charms Title|unpronounceable symbol]] (roughly Ƭ̵̬̊) as part of a [[Take That]] to Warner Bros. legally preventing him from recording under the name "Prince", which is his legal [[One Name Only|given name]]. The phrase "the artist formerly known as Prince" was [[Memetic Mutation|coined by]] a public that had no idea what else to call him. Seven years later, his contract with that recording company expired and he went back to being known as simply Prince, making him [[Shaped Like Itself|the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince]], if you're being technical.
However, the media loves to parody this moniker even to this day, although as time goes on the joke gets less and less topical.
