Saigon changes name to Ho Chi Minh City

Rapper Saigon shocked his dozens of fans today by announcing that he is changing his stage name to Ho Chi Minh City. Saigon, born Brian Daniel Carenard, is a New York City mixtape rapper best known for a speaking role on the homoerotic HBO sitcom “Entourage” and for having his debut album delayed to the point of comedic absurdity.

Sources close to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) report that the decision came shortly after he learned that Saigon, the capital city of Vietnam, is no longer named Saigon. The city has been named Ho Chi Minh City since the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. The rapper felt that being named after a city that no longer existed didn’t properly reflect his desperate attempts to stay current in a genre that had largely ignores him.

The rapper explained the decision declaring, “I mean, I just found out about this news. Mad shit be going down there in China or whatever. Get knowledge. So when the news got to my hood I decided that the times don’t change only the names remain the same. Shit is conscious but gangster and you know I’m the most relevant cat in the game.”

The news didn’t come as a shock to HCMC’s diminutive fan base who have become accustomed to his frequent temper tantrums and rash decisions. In 2007, the rapper publicly retired from hip-hop and, upon learning that “hip hop” did not pay retirement benefits, returned a month later. Other bizarre pronouncements by the rapper include his declaration that rapper Tupac Shakur was killed as a result of a government conspiracy and that his debut album will be released this year. When reached for comment, Rebecca Greenwald, a publicist at Atlantic Records, was quoted as saying, “Ho Chi What City?” When ask to elaborate, Greenwald continued, “He thinks his album is coming out this year? That's adorable!"

The newly named Ho Chi Minh to Murder4Life that he had a message for his fans. “This rap game be bigger than motherfuckers think. Saigon as a name is a global phenomenon. The rhymes I spit are so lyrical they bang with me all over the globe son. Ho Chi Minn, that’s what you call me now and forever in the streets. That’s where my rhymes come from whatever name I and the supreme counsels concede to be true that is what representing means.”
