Ghostface Killah - Aliases

Aliases

Ghostface Killah, like most members of the Wu-Tang clan, rapped under several personae, each with their own name, mythology and influences. Some recurring aliases:

  • Ghostface Killah (occasionally spelled Ghostface Killer, Ghost Face Killah, or abbreviated GFK)
  • Ghostface
His shortened stage name during The Pretty Toney Album era.
  • Ghost Deini alternately Ghostdini
  • Ironman, Tony Starks, or just Starks
Ghostface has frequently assumed the names of both Ironman and Tony Starks, a reference to the Marvel Comics character Iron Man and his true identity, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark (note the variant spellings). He released a 1996 album titled Ironman. His song, "Slept On Tony With Dirt," appears in the 2008 film, and he even appears in a deleted scene on the DVD.
  • Starky Love
  • Pretty Toney, P Tone
The name "Pretty Toney" was taken from a character from the 1973 blaxploitation film "The Mack".
  • The Wally Champ, The Wallabee Kingpin
