WannaBeD (Wanna Be Disciple)
The term was introduced and created by UNDERGROUND KING DAVID, a member connected with Growth & Development, to describe a growing issue that has been developing within and around the culture associated with the Folk Nation, particularly in situations involving references to the Black Disciples and Gangster Disciples
Definition
A WannaBeD, or Wanna Be Disciple, refers to a civilian or outsider who is not an actual member of the Black Disciples or Gangster Disciples, but repeatedly uses Disciple terminology, rival language, or disrespectful slogans toward real members while presenting it as humor, entertainment, or casual internet behavior.
These individuals are typically not connected to the culture in any real way. Instead, they adopt certain elements of the identity—such as slang, slogans, or rivalry references—because they have seen them used in music, videos, or social media discussions.
In many cases, these people treat the language and symbolism of Disciple culture as if it were simply part of a trend or a meme. However, to individuals who actually come from those backgrounds or understand the history behind the words, these phrases carry deeper meanings that go far beyond internet entertainment.
The term WannaBeD therefore exists as a label for those who imitate Disciple identity without belonging to it, often without recognizing the seriousness of the culture they are referencing can have real life consequences

Internet culture got people thinking it’s funny, but in real life that kind of behavior turns someone into a WannaBeD (Wanna Be Disciple) and real Black/Gangster Disciples acting on and saying WannaBeDK
