Islamophobic tweets

Should a section be included about his former Twitter account and his controversial tweets?--Osh33m (talk) 18:06, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Only what’s covered in WP:Reliable sources. Gleeanon409 (talk) 18:25, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Career subsections

Why is the Career section separated by songs? Unusual, needs a clean up. Most of that information belongs to the song's (OTR) article, not here. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 02:16, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This was a timeline way of organizing as well as talking about his work. Gleeanon409 (talk) 05:30, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No other article in WP has that "order". The whole subsection "Public recognition" is based on the OTR song's success and awards. The article needs a clean up. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 04:46, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well he publicly stated that his name was not a tribute to nas the rapper he said that he already had a internet personality named nas and made a joke that every new rapper always put "lil" in front of their name and he added the x for show. please change. 2601:346:4300:C760:5D30:5842:E688:A70D (talk) 18:56, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Controversies section

Should we even be covering controversies over a bunch of tweets that nobody is certain that he had anything to do with at all? If so, are we doing enough to make it clear that this is merely an accusation? The Uproxx source contains an explicit denial that he was associated with the tweets yet our coverage does not seem to reflect that at all, nevermind adequately. --DanielRigal (talk) 01:23, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DanielRigal Hello, you're right, that shouldn't have been included and it violates both WP:BLP and WP:CRITS, especially since it's not confirmed the account even belonged to him. I've reverted that edit. Uses x (talk • contribs) 06:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Satan shoes Controversy

An edit of Lil's infamous Nike shoe project was reverted to it's original state for embedded links. While wikipedia policies explicitly states that: 1.some external links are welcome; 2. and that no page should be linked from a Wikipedia article unless its inclusion is justifiableItalic text according to this guideline and common sense.

It's important that user bBB23 explain here of the circumstances that led to the deletion of this rather controversial topic, with enough sources and citations. Rawwbots (talk) 14:41, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
