Fun Facts
He got the nickname "Valentino" because his parents expected him to be born on Valentine's Day, thus making him one of the few people to have a nickname before they were born.
The long-running legal dispute between Bobby V and the UK singer, songwiter, actor and musician, Bobby Valentino, has apparently now been settled, with the US peformer changing his name to Bobby V (let's hope (Bobby Vee doesn't sue him as well)
His two albums are the only ones released under Disturbing tha Peace not to carry a Parental Advisory sticker.
Special Occasion is speculated to consist of all different tracks that no one is going to expect - "95% unleaked".
V plans to release an Underground Love album following the release of Special Occasion.
It was rumored that the song "Pullin' Up", featuring Smoke of Field Mob, would be on this album, but the song is actually on Lil' Romeo's album God's Gift.
