 * Delete per above: the article currently fails WP:NSINGER and does not have enough significant coverage to justify itself. InterstellarGamer12321 ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 19:12, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment – I've just closed an RM to move it to a new title. This has no bearing on the AfD, of course, but I've edited some parts of the templatery to aid editors. Sceptre (talk) 20:02, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: There is no evidence of notability Almeida Fernando (talk) 13:59, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - He has gained some media coverage, mostly involving his charity work, such as . The article currently has a citation to a Boston Globe article about him that was a healthy 1643 words but it is paywalled. So the situation is not as bad as most of the folks above have implied. But despite a long career and a few notices, the rapper hasn't gotten too far beyond his own hype. Also note that this article and its online copycats say he was mentioned in the The Source, but anything from that magazine itself cannot be found via a targeted search. And finally, I suspect that the pic at the top of the article is Photoshopped. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 18:56, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
