⚠️ Editorial note on age/DOB: Your original draft stated a birth date of February 6, 1965, as fact. That specific year is not consistently supported, multiple outlets report he has not publicly confirmed his birth year, and at least one source lists a different birthplace/year (Detroit, 1963) entirely. I’d recommend either dropping a precise DOB claim or explicitly framing it as “widely reported but unconfirmed” rather than stating it as verified fact. I’ve removed the confident age claim from this version pending your deciding how to handle it.
