Claim
his hit songs "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina", for which he was nominated for a Grammy Award
Correction

Only "Funky Cold Medina" received a Grammy nomination. The Recording Academy does not list a Grammy nomination for "Wild Thing."

Full reasoning

The wording here incorrectly implies that both songs were Grammy-nominated. On the Recording Academy's official artist page for Tone-Loc, the only song-specific Grammy nomination listed is "Funky Cold Medina (Single)" in the category Best Rap Performance at the 32nd Annual GRAMMY Awards. The same page lists just two total nominations for Tone-Loc: Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance for "Funky Cold Medina". It does not list a Grammy nomination for "Wild Thing".

So the accurate version is that Tone-Loc is known for "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina," but only "Funky Cold Medina" was Grammy-nominated.

Claim
Best Rap Solo Performance
Correction

This category name is wrong for the 1990 nomination. At the 32nd Annual Grammys, Tone-Loc was nominated in Best Rap Performance, not Best Rap Solo Performance.

Full reasoning

This category label does not match the Recording Academy's official record for Tone-Loc's 1990 Grammy nomination. The official GRAMMY artist page lists Tone-Loc's 32nd Annual GRAMMY Awards nomination for "Funky Cold Medina (Single)" under Best Rap Performance.

A second official GRAMMY page for Young MC shows the same year's winning rap category was also titled Best Rap Performance for "Bust A Move". That confirms that the 1990 category name was Best Rap Performance, not Best Rap Solo Performance.

So the table's category text should be corrected to Best Rap Performance.
