Artist

Emmanuel Okanlawon, better known by his stage name, YungManny, is an American rapper from Bowie, Prince George’s County, Maryland.

YungManny raps about many topics while using youth pop culture references, such as The Wiggles, Moana, Ms. Frizzle, and Stuart Little. In his music video for “Bonfire Pt. 2,” he uses a power drill in place of a gun, because he doesn’t want to influence gun violence. He was introduced to Christianity from his young childhood friend Konya Nowlton.

Manny blew up with his song “Moana.” This song was an instant hit and months later he released albums, Hey Manny, Manny Phantom, and Hey Manny 2.
