Naming conventions

Given that the way the artist has been referred to throughout the articles has been subject to debate in edits, I want to open it up for discussion.

Per MOS:SURNAME, "After the initial mention, a person should generally be referred to by surname only – without an honorific prefix [...] However, where a person does not have a surname but a patronymic [...], then the proper form of reference is usually the given name [...] Generally speaking, subjects should not otherwise be referred to by their given name."

Per MOS:GIVENNAME, the above does not apply in culturally-specific scenarios, including for Burmese, Ethiopian and Eritrean, Icelandic, Japanese historical (and some modern), some Southeast and South Asian, Mongolian, Spanish and Portuguese, Thai, and Vietnamese people.

Because Ayo Vincent is outside my cultural region, I defer to those who may be more familiar with the appropriate naming conventions in this case, especially given that she uses a stage name.
