“My real, full name is Chelsea Chanel Dudley.
In my opinion, Chelsea Dudley does not sound like a rapper,” the rapper toldPopcrush.
“So I was like, ‘You know what?
Imma drop both of those names and just go by Chanel.'”
Of course, she ended up with more than just her middle name.
I’m a West Coast rapper, so maybe I’ll just make my URL Chanel West Coast.’
The happy accident served her well, and turned her into an easily recognizable star.
