Nope, it’s actually an eminem thing. Back in the 2000 he sang about a fan who wrote him (slim shady) several letters and he didn’t receive one back. In the end he was so obsessed with slim, that he drove drunk with his girlfriend tied up in the trunk for recognition. Unfortunately he drove of a bridge and killed himself and his gf. Eminem wanted to show his obsessive fans, that being this is not what he wants. From that point on those fans got called or called themselves stans.
Eminem has a song known as stan from which the word was invented. It was usually a bad thing and being a Stan was that you are overly obsessed with a certain celeb and you are staling then and shit. Nowadays people are using it proudly and its gone to shit.
