Tony Yayo claims to be 29, but he is actually ten years older. This site should show the facts, not whatever Tony claims to be. 207.34.126.10 19:47, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
You can verify this by looking at New York's offenders database: http://nysdocslookup.docs.state.ny.us/ Search for "Marvin Bernard". -- Keyshaw 16:46, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
IMDB lists him as 1978, so how is he listed as 1968 on this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ven R ( talk • contribs) 04:00, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Please explain to me how Yayo's comments about Ghostface Killah do not fit under the controversy section when the section about Jim Jones is there with very similar circumstances (verbal arguing back and forth).-- Urzadek 23:32, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
He called himself Yayo because he said all he saw was crack when he was younger. Then the name Tony came in because it stands for Talk of new york. I thought I should mention it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.22.180.141 ( talk • contribs)
Right after 'fixing' the birthplace back to Queens, I noticed that User:The-G-Unit-Boss just has changed that to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The cited reference (IMDB) however lists him as born in Queens NY. Foreign language wiki site have him also listed as born in Queens. WTF?
@ The-G-Unit-Boss: Do you have any references to the claim that he was born in Haiti?? If so please cite them and change the bio text also. I was thinking someone vandalized this ... -- Cooper.ch 22:20, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Did anyone see Tony Yayo and the rest of G-Unit on Rap City. It seemed like nothing was going on. I dont get how they say one thing but then write down another. First of all under the controversy section of Yayo's page... under Jim Jones after all those comments they should put..... " Although, recently on 9/13/07 on BET's Rap City Jim Jones and Tony Yayo actually hugged and talked to each other in a respectable manor." JUst wanted to let yall know that.... ima try to holla at yayo to see whats really been happening.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.217.46 ( talk) 21:59, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Is this image really Tony Yayo? The last thing I want to do is remove legitimate content, but you can't see his face. Anyway, there will be a new picture added to the infobox likely before the end of the week. I emailed a photographer and he allowed it to be used here. I'm not uploading it now because I haven't received a reply from the WP:OTRS team yet. So the basketball picture (if it's real) will probably be moved further down the article.

Did Tony Yayo actually get his name from Tony Montana and the word yeyo (or "llello") that is said in Scarface. I'd like to know soon. -- 20000 Talk/ Contributions 12:44, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
So how come there is no date of birth listed? i thought he was in prison, so couldnt you view prison records to verify this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.219.187.33 ( talk) 22:14, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
It's March 31, 1978. 98.216.203.117 ( talk) 16:06, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Just browsing through and I'm wondering why Interscope isn't listed in his infobox? Just because he isn't signed doesn't mean it should be removed. The infobox guidelines say to list all labels the artist has ever been signed to. Snoop isn't signed to Priority, Death Row, etc. still, but we list them. Much the same way of Dr. Dre not being signed to Death Row anymore, but we still list him. Just wondering if there was any specfic reason it was removed or if the basis was "he isn't signed anymore"? -- H E L LØ Ŧ H E R E 16:41, 16 November 2009 (UTC) The movie that he is in called Swat Firefight isnt in production anymore it came out March 1, 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.166.213 ( talk) 03:13, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
