Slim Thug Changes His Rap Name

Slim Thug is no longer Slim Thug.

The Houston rapper recently changed his name to Big Slim and explained why during an interview with "The Defender."

“I’m growing into a new person," said the "I Run the Streets" creator. “I’m 41. I don’t want to be called Slim Thug ... It just don’t fit. I really ain’t thugging out. So, I wanna be Big Slim now. I got big plans."

Do you think that D. L. Hughley, who just came down on Young Thug's name, influenced Slim's decision?
