Metta World Peace Approves Of Facebook’s Meta Rebrand
When Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook would be rebranded as Meta yesterday, everyone in the NBA world made the same joke (yes we were part of it as well).
“Ron Artest changed his name to Met(t)a before it was cool.”
It’s a great joke even, and I’m not sorry for participating.
It turns out though, that Metta Sandiford-Artest, World Peace’s current legal name, is all for it. He revealed that following Zuckerberg’s announcement, his phone was ‘ringing non stop’. Metta then congratulated Meta, and even got a response.
Very happy that @Meta is doing this. Metta / Meta is an awesome name.
Excited to see new innovation .
This was so cool.
I was literally working, and my phone was ringing non stop. Lol.Congrats FB / #meta
