Marvin Bernard (born March 31, 1978),^[1] better known by his stage name Tony Yayo, is an American rapper. He was best known as a member of G-Unit, a hip hop group he formed with his childhood friends, 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks. Yayo released his debut studio album, Thoughts of a Predicate Felon, on August 30, 2005, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. After eighteen years of not releasing a sophomore follow-up, due to his association with G-Unit and later disbandment of the group in 2022,^[2] Yayo returned with The Loyal Mixtape, which released on February 10, 2023.^[3]

His stage name is derived from the 1983 film, Scarface, referencing the main character Tony Montana, and Yayo, the slang word for cocaine.
