Real name[edit]
I have three independent reliable sources, all saying his real name is Larry Kiala (see article). I can't find any equivalent for the name Guystone Menga; the only cite I can find for this (here) just says he is "also known as" Guystone Menga. That the name Guystone Menga might be used on credits on his recordings is not evidence that it is his real legal name; pseudonyms are commonly used for music credits.
I'd also note that there is a "Guystone Mbozo Menga" who is listed as a director of a UK limited company, with a birth month matching that given for Bane in the article, but drawing the inference that Bane = Menga is WP:SYN, and we need to defer to reliable sources.
An interesting thought; is it possible that he has changed his legal name at some point, from Larry Cummings Kiala to Guystone Mbozo Menga? However, without WP:RS saying that, we can't put that in the article. -- The Anome (talk) 12:59, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
