21 Savage is a well-known rapper, songwriter, and record producer, best recognized for his work on albums such as Issa Album and collaborative projects like Without Warning.
Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph was born on October 22, 1992, in Plaistow, London, United Kingdom. He was born to Heather Carmillia Joseph and Kevin Cornelius Emmons, who are of Dominican and Haitian descent. When he was young, his parents separated, and he relocated with his mother to Atlanta, Georgia. Savage has ten siblings—six sisters and four brothers. One of his brothers tragically died in a shooting related to a drug deal.
In 2017, 21 Savage began dating model and social media personality Amber Rose. Their relationship lasted for about a year before ending in 2018. He is a father to three children—two sons and a daughter—whom he occasionally features on his social media but generally keeps out of the public eye.
Although 21 Savage began rapping informally at school and social gatherings, his professional music career launched in 2015. Encouraged by the uncle of a close friend who had passed away, he was financially supported to access a recording studio. His debut single, "Picky" (originally referred to as "Fussy"), produced by DJ Plugg, was released in late 2014. It was followed by his debut mixtape, The Slaughter Tape, on May 25, 2015. That same year, he collaborated with producer Sonny Digital to release the EP Free Guwop, and in December he dropped another mixtape titled Slaughter King.
In June 2016, XXL magazine named 21 Savage among its “Freshman Class,” spotlighting emerging talent in hip hop. The following month, he released the collaborative EP Savage Mode with producer Metro Boomin. The project received critical acclaim and peaked at number 23 on the Billboard 200. Its lead single, "X", featuring Future, became his first platinum-certified track in the U.S. In January 2017, he announced that he had signed with Epic Records.
