Jermaine claims that the name change is purely for artistic reasons. His lawyer, Bret D. Lewis said:” If Prince and  Diddy can do it, why can’t and shouldn’t Jermaine?”

Jermaine, 58, is currently on tour with his brothers Tito, Marlon, and Jackie.

This isn’t the first name change for Jermaine.  Back in 1989, he unofficially adopted the name Mohammad Abdul Aziz after converting to Islam.
