Chinese netizens couldn’t stop admiring the captivating performance of a mysterious artist at the recent Super Bowl event. They referred to her as ‘Fruit Sister,’ which left many people puzzled. However, it has been discovered that the performer they were referring to was none other than pop sensation Katy Perry, who is commonly known by that nickname in China due to her frequent fruit-themed outfits. Katy has been known to wear strawberry bras, watermelon skirts, and even a dress made from the Chiquita Banana lady’s hat. Her video for the song ‘California Gurls’ featured strategically placed cherries. Watch the video below.
Hey there, it’s your friendly neighborhood Fruit Sister! I heard that Katy Perry’s upcoming Super Bowl performance has sparked some interesting chatter among her fans in China. Apparently, they have given her a peculiar nickname. But hold on, Perry isn’t the only one with a unique Chinese moniker. Jennifer Lopez has also earned herself an interesting title due to her famous curves – Lord of Butt, or ‘luo ba’ in Chinese, which sounds similar to her actual surname, Luo pei zi. And if you thought that was strange, wait till you hear about Mariah Carey’s nickname – Cow Sister. The story behind it is quite complicated and intriguing.
Katy Perry, also known as Fruit Sister in China, made headlines on the Chinese internet after her Super Bowl halftime performance. The nickname Cherry ChapStick is not surprising, given that she has a large chest following cosmetic surgery and a fantastic voice that is referred to as the “cow’s vagina,” which is a slang Chinese term of endearment similar to “dogs b******s” or “bees knees” in British English. Ariana Grande is nicknamed Little Cow or “xiao niu” because of her vocal similarity to Mariah Carey, while Nicki Minaj is called “Ma la ji” or Numbing-Spicy Chicken due to her personality and appearance, according to a Chinese question and answer site.
J-lo and Ariana Grande have unique nicknames based on their physical attributes – Butt Lord and Little Cow. On the other hand, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj probably have called each other worse names than Cow and Chicken. However, big cousin Jennifer Lawrence would probably be able to settle any argument between them. Jennifer Lawrence’s Chinese nickname is ‘biao jie’ or Cousin, which originated from a running joke in 2011 where Chinese people claimed that their ‘cousin in the Academy’ predicted her Oscar win.
The boys also have interesting Chinese nicknames. Adam Levine’s nickname is ‘sao dang’ or Flirty Adam, while Leonardo DiCaprio is called Leonardo Pikachu because a Taiwanese reporter confused his name with a Pokemon on TV once in 2011. Benedict Cumberbatch’s Chinese nickname, ‘juan fu,’ means Curly Blessing because of his curly Sherlock hairstyle. Justin Timberlake’s Chinese nickname, The Boss, is pretty self-explanatory.
Rewritten: Benedict Cumberbatch has earned the nickname “Curly Blessing” due to his iconic Sherlock hairstyle. Meanwhile, in China, three famous names – Adam Levine, Justin Timberlake, and Leonardo DiCaprio – are affectionately referred to as “The Boss,” “Pikachu,” and “Flirty,” respectively. Though it could easily be mistaken for a band name, it’s just a fun way of referring to these beloved celebrities in Chinese culture.
