He can’t be eleven in 1995

> He was signed by American rapper Birdman to his record label Cash Money Records in 1995, becoming the youngest member of the label at age eleven.

If he was born in 1982 wouldn’t he have to be either twelve or thirteen if signed in 1995? If he was eleven when signed it would have to be between 9/27/93 and 9/26/94. Either the date or his age is incorrect. 2601:41:C07F:DA50:906B:A02A:FE44:C26D (talk) 04:37, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I messed it up

I have recently edited this page here. I don't know... I think I added in unnecessary stuff (unsourced statements, deprecated/unreliable, things rumored or alleged). Please review and help me out. I think it would clean up my mess. Thanks. Darrion "Beans" Brown 🙂 (my talk page / my sandbox) 21:12, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
