(2) Bobby V (formerly Bobby Valentino) was born Bobby Wilson on February 27, 1980 in Jackson, Mississippi) is an American R&B singer. He wanted to be a heartthrob, even though he’s only 5’2” tall, so he stole his name. (He is now known as Bobby V due to a lawsuit, there being a British musician who had been recording under the same name since 1975.) He was raised in Atlanta, Georgia and currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Valentino first entered the music scene in 1996 with the now-defunct youth quartet Mista. Some years after Mista disbanded, he enrolled in Clark Atlanta University where he majored in Mass Communications, graduating in 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
