1) Please change Cleveland to Shaker Heights in the Musical Career/Origin section. He didn't originate in Cleveland. This is not accurate.

2) Please change Cleveland to Shaker Heights in the list of places he lived (after Chicago, Denver, ...) because he never lived in Cleveland. This is inaccurate.

References to MGK living in Cleveland should be clarified...Shaker Heights is a suburban city outside of Cleveland. Therefore, references to him living in Cleveland are not as accurate as they could be/should be. This is important context for a white rapper whose subject matter largely involves urban life, because he didn't live in the city he lived in the suburbs. If you've spent a lot of time in Cleveland, then crossed the border into Shaker, you understand this difference very very clearly and recognize its importance.

Not done for now: Shaker Heights, Ohio will call Shaker Heights a suburb of Cleveland and says that it is inside the city limits. This means it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that MGK is "from" Cleveland. Further, the reliable sources we have characterize MGK as being from Cleveland (see here). The only references I could find that used MGK together with "Shaker Heights" were just ones that mentioned the high school he went to (Shaker Heights High School). 〜 Askarion ✉ 18:27, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
