Comment Well, it states that he did chart as part of a colaboration on Billboard R&B charts, and that normally is a qualifier. But a search on their site shows nothing for him under his current or former name, but then again Billboard's search engine has been spotty in the past. The references are rather press-releasish, so I don't think any of them add up to much. But maybe there is something here if someone deems its worthwhile to do the leg work to save it. As of now it looks to be delete based on what's provided. BTW, the impressive claim here that he was "signed by Epic Records" is contradicted by his own press release which cites the small Zone 4 label, which is a subsidiary imprint under Epic, but it's not the same as being an Epic Recording artist.

Keep. Lots of hits in reliable news sources like Vibe, XXL, Complex and TIME. His song "Sex You" was featured in Magic Mike and spent 15 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] pburka (talk) 20:12, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as passes criteria 2 of WP:NMUSIC (only one criteria needed) as shown in the Billboard reference linked to in the preceding comment and also mentioned here. Also he has coverage in reliable sources such as Complex, XXL and Time so also passes WP:GNG in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:12, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
