Two of my unintentional favourites courtesy of my older brother:

Eminem he pronounced Em mine 'em. “Have you heard any em mine 'em?”
and
St Germain he pronounced Stugger mine (as he’d downloaded mp3s of theirs which didn’t have spaces in the ID3 tags).

I’ve always referred to 50 Cent as “Fifty Cent”, but apparently that’s not how you are supposed to say it.

Apparently it’s Jay Zee because he’s American.

Yes I know, I just like annoying people by saying “Jay Zed” on purpose. :slight_smile:
