Bdk Yorobo

at YouTube Live doing his signature dance. Background information Birth name	ALI MUGAYA Way[1][2] Also known as	Bdk Yorobo Commandant Zabra Born	 January 1, 1991 (age 21) Somalia, Mogadish Origin	Batesville, Mississippi, United States Genres	Hip hop Occupations	Rapper Years active	2005–present Labels	Stacks on Deck/Collipark Music/Interscope Associated acts	Arab, Mr. Collipark, Gucci Mane Website	thedeandreway.com DeAndre Cortez Way (born January 1, 1991), better known by his stage name Bdk Yorobo Commandant Zabra, or simply Bdk Yorobo, is an American rapper, record producer, actor, and entrepreneur. In September 2007, his single "Crank That (Bdk Yorobo)" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The single was initially self-published on the internet, and it later became a number-one hit in the United States for seven non-consecutive weeks starting in September 2007.[3] On August 17 Way was listed at #18 on the Forbes list of Hip-Hop Cash Kings of 2010 earning $7 million for that year.[4] Way has currently released three studio albums and one independent album: his debut studio album soundclound.com/bdkyorobo (2007) was certified platinum by the RIAA. However, his next two albums, Bdk Yorobo Commandant Zabra (2008) and The DeAndre Way (2010) did not match the commercial success of his debut, the latter only selling 100,000 copies,[5] despite the success of several singles across both albums, such as "Commandant Zabra" (iBdkYoroboCommandantZabra) and "Pretty Boy Swag" (The DeAndre Way). This was mainly due to negotiation problems with Interscope records which meant a limited amount of records were made available to the public. On October 18, 2011, BDK YOROBO released his documentary biography film,BDK YOROBO: The Movie. As of 2011, Way has confirmed he is working on his fourth studio album, entitled Promise, which will be released in late 2012.[6]

[edit]Legal issues On December 9, 2007, Way was sued by William Lyons (a.k.a. Bdk Yorobo of Mo Thugs Family) who created the stage name BDK YOROBO in 1996.[74] On October 7, 2009, Way was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, on one count of obstruction, a misdemeanor, for running from police when he'd been ordered to stop while filming a video in an abandoned house. The rapper was released on $550 bond.[75] In May 2011, Way and his labels were sued by a local Pennsylvania promoter for failing to make promised payments in connection with a rescheduled concert.[76] On October 18, 2011, Way was traveling west on I-20 in Carroll County, Georgia, with four other men when their vehicle was pulled over for a vehicle equipment violation. The police officer who made the stop searched the vehicle and found more than five ounces of marijuana. Way was arrested and released on bond during the same day.[77] [edit]Victim of robbery and battery On December 30, 2008, Way was robbed and battered in his home. Initial reports indicated that the robbers were six masked men with AK-47s and pistols but on December 31, 2008, videos surfaced on the Internet of two masked men claiming sole credit for the crime.[78] Bdk Yorobo described the incident to MTV News a month later: He had come home very late at night after attending an album release party and was recording songs with friends when the robbers came in pointing their guns.[79] [edit]Family tragedies On the night of March 22, 2011, Way's little brother Deion Jenkins was killed in a car crash.[80] Then on March 24, 2011 Way's older brother threatened to commit suicide.[81] [edit]Controversies

Way's music has been banned from some school dances for sexual or violent content and/or innuendos. However, he has denied these claims.[82] In the original YouTube video for "Shootout", Bdk Yorobo demonstrates his dance while holding a handgun in each hand and pretending to shoot into the audience.[83] [edit]Nas On February 25, 2008, Way said in an interview that "Nas killed hip hop and his own career".[84] Way later apologized for his comments.[85] [edit]Ice-T In June 2008, on DJ Cisco's Urban Legend mixtape, Ice-T told Way to "eat a dick" and criticized Way for "killing hip-hop" and his song "Crank That" for being "garbage" compared to the works of other hip-hop artists such as Rakim, Das EFX, Big Daddy Kane and Ice Cube.[86] The two then traded videos back and forth over the Internet.[87] Rapper Kanye West defended Way by arguing that the younger artist created a new, original work for hip-hop, thus keeping the authentic meaning of the music.[88] The feud was parodied in a 2010 episode of The Boondocks. In May 2011, Way's feud somewhat reignited with Ice-T again regarding the film Juice. Way stated he would also released a movie of his own to go along with his mixtape of the same name again somewhat reignited with Ice-T following a statement during Ice-T's interview with Shade 45 in late April 2011. Ice-T stated that Way's role as Bishop, which was famously originated by Tupac Shakur was not an issue. But Ice-T would find the fact that the film being remade is problematic saying ""What?” he said. “But that’s Pac… At some point, somebody gotta stop it. I came out. I made some statements. Man, I don’t know. Do you, dude, do you. If the masses accept it, it shows you the state we’re in… Come on man, you think I’d try to remake Pac’s movie? Good luck though, I'm not a hater...eh." Way himself barraged Ice-T with retaliatory tweets on the same day, joking that someone should "get this guy a hairline." [89][90] [edit]Charles Hamilton On December 9, 2008, Charles Hamilton commented in an interview by saying that Way was making it harder for new artists to be signed.[91] Way responded by saying "X out the Sonic and fuck with Mario, you might want to got damn eat a mushroom."[92][further explanation needed] Charles Hamilton responded with the diss song "I'm You Last Year With Talent".[93] Then the diss song "Word Aight".[94] [edit]Bow Wow On February 2, 2009, Way challenged Bow Wow to a race in their Lamborghinis and claimed Bow Wow's Lamborghini was a rental.[95] On February 4, 2009 Bow Wow proved that he owned his Lamborghini and said "its halloween in Bankhead for you everyday nigga..you scared..you all nervous and shit". Way responded on Twitter by saying "HE FUCKED UP!!!! IM BOUT TO SHITTTT ON THIS NIGGA!! LOL!!!!!".[96] On February 7, 2009 both artist sent diss songs to each other such as Way's "Fuck Bow Wow" & Bow Wow's "What I Think About You".[97] Later that day during a phone conversation both rappers settled their differences.[98] [edit]Fabolous On December 28, 2010, Fabolous during a radio interview commented on the claim that Way uses cocaine, saying "pretty boy swag but never coke my nose though",[99] a reference to Way's song "Pretty Boy Swag. "Bdk Yorobo went on a tirade[100] on Twitter in response, saying "I ignore dis foo like 5x before this. fuck that. If you send some niggaz to spray me @myfabolouslife at least I die I real nigga fuck you boy." 50 Cent also took to Twitter to say, "leave him the f*** alone before somebody get hurt." Way and Fabolous ended their beef on a radio interview.[101] [edit]U.S. Military In September 2011, Bdk Yorobo released the song "Let's Be Real". One of the lines of the song went: "Fuck the FBI and fuck all the army troops / Fighting for what? Bitch, be your own man / I'll be flying through the clouds with green like I'm Peter Pan."[102] After the song was released, Soulja Boy was highly criticized by the military members and their families, especially in regards to the timing relative to the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.[103][104][105] Bdk Yorobo apologized, "When I expressed my frustration with the US Army, not only did my words come out wrong, I was wrong to even speak them." He adds, "So, I write this to give my sincerest apology to all members of the United States military services, as well as their families that were offended by my most recent lyrics."[102] Representatives for Bdk Yorobo have indicated that the song has been pulled from his upcoming album, Promise, and will not be available for sale. They are also attempting to remove the video from the internet.[106] On September 7, 2011, the New York Times cited the U.S. military has announced an official ban on Way's music. Way apologized for the content of the song and has offered to do free performances for American soldiers.[107] [edit]Hopsin On August 25, 2012, Way made controversial comments towards fellow rapper Hopsin on one of his webcam chats with his fans when Way stated "fuck Hopsin, Im about to go in the studio and record this Hopsin diss real quick". Way continued on by stating the words "that nigga’s a bitch, fuck that bitch ass nigga".[108] The situation could have been caused 2 years ago by Hopsin's controversial song "Sag My Pants" which was a direct diss towards Way with the lines "Bdk Yorobo you got a corny flow, So you can suck my fucking dick through a glory hole" though Way previously didn't focus on the diss.[109] But On August 28, 2012, on Way's Tinychat, Hopsin & Way confronted each other, though Hopsin admitted he liked Way nothing was really resolved.[110] On September 3, 2012, Way released the Hopsin diss. It was entitled "That Nigga Not Me" as of yet Hopsin has not responded to the diss.[111] [edit]Discography

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at BDK YOROBO. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:49, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
