Please change his birthdate from September 13th, 1996 to September 13th, 1995. There have been several tweets from him corroborating this proposed birthdate change, and more recently leaked footage of an arrest of his shows him admitting to the cop who arrested him that he was born in 1995. 128.211.250.137 ( talk) 17:44, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
After finally having a minute to pull up the sources for this, there is neither a consistent date of birth for 1995 or 1995, so neither can be preferred over the other per WP:DOB. All articles below point to a September 13, 1995 date of birth, and all are considered reliable.
Looking over the sources in the current article regarding the birthdate being 1996, the XXL one conflicts with their prior statement below and should not be included in favor of one date versus the other. And while Billboard has been considered a reliable source regarding album data, it has never been brought to RSN regarding BLP data (from a quick glance of the previous discussions for it), and per WP:CONTEXTMATTERS should not be included, since reliability is not inherently carried over for everything a source provides. I have added a note to the article to show the discrepancy, and hopefully the article can be unrestricted since this seemed to be the biggest problem with the back and forth of edits.

Please change September 13, 1995 or 1996 to September 13 1995. Playboi Carti’s birthday is September 13 1995, not September 13 1996, he has said this himself to a police officer prior to getting arrested while being detained and questioned, additionally there is a twitter post from 2012 stating he is turning 17, which adds up to him being born in 1995. Also, there is a photo of his identification card available online, which would be incredibly difficult and pointless to fabricate. Starting in 2017 there seems to have been some confusion regarding his true age. It seems that an article published in November 2017, which was written prior to September 13 2017, initiated this confusion. On top of this, his apple music profile lists his birthday as September 13 1995, which is something an artist’s label controls themselves. It is known within his fan base that he frequently lies about his age, amongst various other things regarding his musical career.

I am unsure why there is confusion as Playboi Carti has stated his age himself, in 2022 during his arrest, and on September 1st 2012, stating “17 on the 13th”, referencing his upcoming birthday, all of which is corroborated by his id photo, articles predating 2017, and his official verified Apple Music profile. I would like to add that it is confusing to read “September 13, 1995 or 1996” as it raises questions, when many people are visiting wikipedia for answers.
