DJ Whoo Kid (born Yves Mondesire in West Orange, New Jersey) is a mix DJ, who self styles himself as "The Haitian Barry White". Based in Brooklyn, he rose to fame after a long stint as an underground mixtape DJ in 2002 after 50 Cent and G-Unit rose to fame, giving him a now syndicated radio show which originally was on New York’s Hot 97. Known as G-Unit's official DJ, he always has the first scoop on new G-Unit tracks because he is the cousin of 50 Cent's manager.
Yves Mondesire got the name "Whoo Kid" from a humorous incident during childhood. After he would leave the bathroom his father would exclaim "Whoo Kid" because of the strong smell he would leave behind. Whoo Kid has certainly diversified his interests: the Queens-raised son of Haitian parents began to DJ at 16; he now performs on global tours with 50 Cent and G-Unit and as an artist in his own right. His syndicated show shows appears on New York's Hot 97 as well as Sirius satellite radio. He has also released DVDs and has a clothing line in Japan.
