Please note that Wikipedia is not a venue for the publication of unverifiable insider information. People have WP:BLPPRIVACY rights, which means we cannot give any information about their personal lives which has not already been published in a reliable source — that includes a person's real name, their birthdate, the names of their family members, and on and so forth. Which means that even if you have personal knowledge that his birth name is actually Jahmarie, we cannot say that in our article without a verifiable source for it. So until a source can be added which contains that information, we have to stay with what the existing sources in the article say, which is "Jaye", and cannot add unsourced claims about what Jaye is short for. Please understand that this rule is actually for his personal protection, not to make his life difficult — we have had incidents on Wikipedia where people have added false information to Wikipedia while claiming insider knowledge of the situation, so our rule has had to remain that we cannot publish any such personal information about our article subjects until it can be verified in a reliable published source in order to protect their privacy rights.
