 * Notability is not inherited, please see WP:INHERIT. Also, a passing mention in multiple sources does not make anyone notable, please see WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Only that he has been the music producer of some of the songs of Pop Smoke do not make him notable. --Chiro725 (talk) 08:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
