American rapper, Antoine Roundtree or better known by his stage name Skee-Lo, is best known for his extremely popular song "I Wish" – which is mostly about a girl named Leoshi, the singer’s desire for her, and the singer’s height. Here is how the lyrics of this song go:
I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala
I wish I was like six-foot-nine
So I can get with Leoshi
'Cause she don't know me but yo, she's really fine
You know I see her all the time
Everywhere I go and even in my dreams
I can scheme a way to make her mine
'Cause I know she's livin' phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball
So how am I gonna compete with that
According to Skee Lo's IMDb profile, he is 5 feet 8 inches. But from what we have seen of Skee-Lo, he looks a lot shorter -- probably closer to 5'4" than any other number -- considerably shorter than most of the brats who monopolize the fly girl. So this song is probably painfully true-to-life.
The real height of Skee Lo is
5 ft 4 in (162.5 cm)
