The well-known Mozambican artist, Duas Caras, surprised his fans by announcing a significant change in his identity, revealing that from now on he will be known as DUWA$. The announcement was made casually through his Facebook page, where he expressed his decision to adopt the new name.
The simple message, “From today onwards, my name is only DUWA$. Thank you for your understanding, family 😃”, reveals the artist's intention to begin a new phase in his career and perhaps in his personal life.
However, the reaction from internet users was mixed. While some showed immediate support for Duas Caras' decision, others expressed disagreement and even a certain resistance to the change. Comments such as "I'll continue to call you whatever I want, Kara Boss," and "That's up to you, bro. You're our Duas Caras, period," reflect the strong emotional connection fans have with the artist's former name and persona.
Internet users seem divided between accepting the change and continuing to call the artist by the name they are accustomed to and which has become an integral part of their artistic identity. The variety of comments, some more relaxed and others more resistant, highlights the complexity of the relationship between artists and their audiences.
It's noteworthy that, even when expressing disagreement, many comments are formulated in a way that conveys a certain affection and concern for Duas Caras' well-being. Expressions like "Duas Caras, at the stage you're in, it's no longer up to you to change your name, did you talk to them?" suggest a personal connection that fans feel with the artist.
Name changes in the music industry are not uncommon; many artists over the years have chosen to adopt new identities as part of an artistic or personal reinvention. However, the emotional attachment that fans have to their original names and personas can result in diverse reactions.
As Two-Face, now DUWA$, embarks on this new phase, the fans' response will be an interesting aspect to follow. Regardless of the change, the love and loyalty shown by the fans suggest that DUWA$ will continue to have strong support from his "family" throughout this transformative journey.
