Everybody had it wrong about hip-hop icon MF Doom. After years of outlets, media, and the general public reporting and celebrating his birthday as January 9th, the truth has come to light.
MF Doom’s Actual Birthday Revealed
With a little digging from past, it’s been revealed that Doom’s birthday fell on the 13th of July. Looking at the case from a 1998 arrest in Baltimore exposed his real birth date.
“Whether by intentional deception (rapping “Circa one nine seventy-one, on the mic machine it seems his work will never be done” on the DANGERDOOM track, “Pretty Hair,”) or mere oversight on our part, it appears MF DOOM, born Daniel Dumile, kept his actual date of birth off (most of) the books. In fact, it wasn’t until today that we discovered a thread on Reddit disputing the widely-accepted birthday of DOOM. The first bit of evidence points to the rapper’s appearance before the US Senate in a hearing on voter registration from May 28th, 1991. During his testimony, the rapper (then going by Zev Love X,) claimed to be 19, which would nullify January 9th as a possible birthday on its own. But the thread also cites a pair of charges from a 1998 arrest in Baltimore. Naturally, we looked up the case stemming from his arrest, revealing Dumile’s actual birthday to be July 13th, 1971.” (okayplayer)
