The artist formally known as NORE called SMS Radio over the weekend to speak on his name change. The Queens rapper says it’s not really a name change, because he’s always been called P.A.P.I. in the hood. The real reason for the name change is because Nore is shooting a movie called “Superthug” and in the movie Nore plays a character named P.A.P.I.
It seems like Nore may just be changing his name for just this album to play off with the movie that he is releasing.
Nore goes on to speak about the wrath he received online after changing his name to P.A.P.I. due to many individuals associating the name to Bodega BAMZ. To stop the controversy that the internet created Nore reached out to Bodega BAMZ and both artist chopped it up and even spoke on a possible collaboration later on down the line.
Nore says however that he has a problem with Drake calling himself P.A.P.I. because he’s not spanish, but still his dude.
