The originator of Trill speaks up about Willie’s new name

Rapper Bun B, one of the originators of “trill,” caught word of Willie Cauley-Stein’s new middle name and voiced his opinion about it on Twitter. Bun B and the late Pimp C were the first to use the word — which is a combination of “true” and “real” — on their first Underground Kings album, The Southern Way, in 1992. That was before Willie Cauley-Stein was born.

WHO changed his middle name to WHAT?? WOW.

I've seen tees, hats, license plates, even tattoos.
