Isn't his middle name Kunta Kente? I read that in some mag. Ill try to get back with a source --Carlos 20:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's Charles Kinte Bowens according to The Source.

If you look at the writting credits on 3x Krazy's Stackin Chips, his name is Charles Willams.

Also Charles Williams in my Bret Harte Junior High year book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.85.126.20 (talk) 20:54, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does his birth certificate really say Charles "Kunta Kinte" Bowens, or is kunta kinte a nickname. If it is anickname, it shouldnt be labeled "Birth Name" Jollyjoegiant 03:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to and article from San Jose Mercury News, his name is Charles Kunta Kinte Bowens. http://www.mercurynews.com/hiphop/ci_5867524?nclick_check=1 --Rabbethan 21:05, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From the Bay Area

The opening paragraph should say that he was __born__ in Alabama, and that he is __from__ Oakland, CA. It is a little confusing to say that he is from Alabama, even though he was brought to Oakland at six months. 69.236.106.239 06:31, 18 September 2006 (UTC)Gareth 9-17-06[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Keaksneak.jpg

Image:Keaksneak.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 15:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

KEak was born IN Evergreen ALabama —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.16.67.149 (talk) 09:32, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weapon charge and jail time

around 2017 he talked about going back to jail after an officer found a gun in his car while parked at a northern cali casino. I dont know whether he served the time or not. none of this is mentioned on his page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.39.108.206 (talk) 23:16, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keak vs Williams

Throughout the article, he's referred to as his stage name, which I'm not sure is proper for this article. This potentially should be changed to his birth name/last name where nesscessary. EndTheWikiEditor (talk) 06:11, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
