Sugar Ray Leonard posted a response to Yoongi's stage name origin on his Instagram.
👤: I'm grateful to know that "Sugar" could inspire someone across the world in a completely different craft. At the end of the day, it's not just a name - it's about the work, the dedication, and the love for what you do. Respect to Suga for carrying that forward. 🙏
Fyi, in recent interview, Yoongi revealed that his stage name "SUGA" was actually inspired by the boxing icon Sugar Ray Leonard. Just like Leonard's footwork, Yoongi's technical rap and production are in a class of their own. This is such an incredible moment of "legends recognizing legends".
