STalker / fAN. I think it’s attributable to the Eminem son Stan about a stalker. Likely even predates that.
It definitely doesn't predate the song, at least by my memory. (and fwiw, Wikipedia, Know Your Meme, Urban Dictionary, and Oxford English Dictionary all credit the song and have no references prior to that.)
Stalker/fan = stan
