That name also popped up in Chinese lettering in his 'DNA.' video.

But where did he get the name from?

Kenny's 'DNA.' video co-star Don Cheadle has an idea. 16 years ago Cheadle  played an un-credited supporting role as Kung Fu Kenny in Rush Hour 2.

Cheadle acknowledged the connection on Twitter yesterday, posting a photo from the movie soon after the video dropped.
