• This article is new enough and long enough. I am only approving ALT2 which has the hook facts cited inline. All the others hooks are ineligible because they use the word "viral" which is not even mentioned in the article, and TikTok is only mentioned in passing. If you prefer one of these hooks, you will need to adjust the article, and by the way, how does a professional swimmer make his living? The article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. No QPQ needed for this fourth DYK. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:47, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before creating an edit request. See the previous talk page discussions concerning this; there appears to be significant uncertainty over whether he has actually ended his music career.

hiatus

Now that it was confirmed the hiatus was a marketing ploy, this needs to be explained on the page rather than just deleting it entirely. I had put up sources for the announcement, these were real just now we know it was a joke/marketing ploy. i feel this needs to be explained. Cam salty03 (talk) 04:58, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

They weren’t “real”. Bbn$ made a joke announcement, predominantly crap sources all ran with it, and then Bbn$ confirmed it was a joke a handful of days later and was still making music.

It’s not notable or encyclopaedic. Rambling Rambler (talk) 09:58, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
