Got most of it. Only correction -- he was born out of the US (wherever) and a short time afterwards his mom's parents had a notice out in the local paper, as if he was born in Hawaii. Ostensibly in one of the two local hospitals.
For most of his life, this was completely unknown to the hospitals. When he suddenly became famous, the hospitals entered Months of arguing with each other that 'he wasn't born in Our hospital, so he must have been born in Your hospital'
Famous. Media says he's popular. Black Messiah, etc, with Time Magazine putting halos around his head --- the hospitals that should have been proud to claim him were instead arguing with each other that it must have been the Other place.
Somewhere around there, his 'grandmother' in Kenya swore he was born there and waa prepared to never shut up about it. Pretty soon she was dead, and Mombasa's public records building burned to the ground.
