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?
