Tony Yayo (born Marvin Bernard on March 31, 1978 in Queens, New York) is an American rapper who is signed as an artist to popular rap group G-Unit.

Tony Yayo is the original member of G-Unit. While touring through New York, the rapper was arrested for an outstanding warrant on weapons charges and was sentenced to a year and few days in prison. The imprisoned rapper was recording with G-Unit, even though he only appears twice on the debut album Beg For Mercy. When he was initially released from prison he was arrested again the following day for possessing a forged passport. The incident forced Yayo to spend six months in prison. After release, the rapper began preparing for his debut album. While out of prison, Yayo modestly brags about the time spent in prison and usually mentions about being on probation and ankle bracelet that he had to wear.
