Didine Klach, Didine Kalash, Canon 16: one artist, several names
In Algeria, more people look him up as "Didine Klach" (ุฏูุฏูู ููุงุด) than by his official stage name: the nickname gets over 5,000 Arabic searches a month, against about a thousand for "ุฏูุฏูู ูุงููู 16". Spellings range from Didin Klach to Didine Kalach and Didine Kalash, yet they all point to the same rapper. "Didine Kalach" is listed as his nickname in his encyclopedia entry, and the Algerian press uses it too, alongside his real first name, Kheireddine.
