 * Weak keep I find a non-trivial amount of coverage for him. He's mentioned in Billboard for an award I don't recognize and he's covered in Fader . Here also . Oaktree b (talk) 02:00, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Sources analysis: Ref 1. - It's not his music that was charted. He was just listed among over 200 people nominated for Headies Awards. That source fails WP:NMUSIC#2. Ref 2 and Ref.3 The Fader and Dazeddigital sources are primary sources. They are  interview which doesn't count for notability. Ref. Shoerack (talk) 09:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * His mixtape peaked Number 1 on iTunes. He was also nominated by The Headies for his album Love is War, all backed by multiple reliable sources. Passes WP:NMUSIC. Wikispendo (talk) 10:02, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Which of the WP:NMUSIC criteria did he pass? Thank. Shoerack (talk) 11:19, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Let me enlighten you.
 * 1. He has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician. (E.g BBC, The Fader, Billboard and more)
 * 2. He has an album on number 1 ITunes music chart.
 * 3. He has been nominated for a major music award (The Headies).
 * I'm new here but it's very obvious that the Afd nomination was quite pointless. Wikispendo (talk) 11:39, 11 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep: passes WP:GNG and WP:NBIO with significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. ––FormalDude (talk)  12:19, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
