This page seems to have been broken. I don't have the time to fix it, but it seems the tables have been messed up?

To add that this is where he's born, add a reliable source. Hekerui (talk) 12:45, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Who decided that he was born into a musical family? His mother is a guidance councilor at a high schoo and his father is an architect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.109.114.139 (talk) 04:09, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

British or US Virgin Islands?

On the Replay music video, Iyaz is seen singing in front of the lolFlag of the United States Virgin Islands, not British Virgin Islands. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baks (talk • contribs) 22:23, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He grew up on the British Virgin Islands, per Billboard. Hekerui (talk) 22:33, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty Girls

Don't know if this is the correct place to ask, but shouldn't Pretty Girls have a Wikipedia article now? Arjoccolenty (talk) 15:07, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Iyaz

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Iyaz's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Name Discrepency Issue

In the Other Appearances section of this article, I added a song to the list, the original version of "Slow Motion." The artist name that is on the cover is Lil' Uno, but his actual moniker is Mr. Lil' One, an underground Latin Rap artist from the San Diego area. In my first edit, I had him written as "Mr. Lil' One (as Lil' Uno)," but I decided to stick with the name that is shown on the cover, hence the minor change. However, this presented a problem: another artist named Lil Uno exists, as a former member of the Bay Area rap group The Pack. I am not sure how I should write the artist's name. Should I stick with the name that is shown on the cover, go with the original written submission, or add a footnote next to his name? I need something that would allow me to say or denote, "Not to be confused with Lil' Uno, a former member of the rap group The Pack."

Here is the link to the song in question, which includes an audio preview: https://downinthevalley.com/UPC/899090980404

The song was also originally on Apple iTunes, but it has since been taken down. ElMeroEse (talk) 06:14, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2022?

A quick search of Google News has him touring in 2020 in SE Asia, but nothing since then? Is he working on anything? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.11.229.19 (talk) 07:08, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
