21 Savage Early life
Shéyaa Bin Abraham was born on October 22, 1992, at Newham Hospital in Plaistow, London, England, to British-born parents Heather Carmilla Joseph and Kevin Cornelius Emmons, who are of Dominican and Haitian descent respectively.
21 Savage’s parents separated early in his life, and he moved with his mother to Atlanta, Georgia, at the age of 7.
In June 2005, at the age of 12, he went to the United Kingdom for the funeral of an uncle, stayed for a month and then returned to the United States on July 22, 2005, on an H-4 visa, which allegedly expired a year later.
21 Savage’s mother then began a relationship with Dr. Amsu Anpu, an endocrinologist, and British expatriate, with whom she had more children. He had a brother Quantivayus (“Tay-Man”) who died in a shooting after an attempted drug deal
In the seventh grade, 21 Savage was banned permanently from every school in DeKalb County School District for gun possession.
This led him to begin attending schools around the Atlanta metropolitan area before being sent to a youth detention center.
After being released from the youth detention center, he completed eighth grade through an alternative program before finishing a semester of high school; he dropped out in his freshman year following multiple exclusions that he said “exhausted” him
After dropping out, 21 Savage joined a local street gang affiliated with the wider Bloods street gang and became a full-time drug dealer, mainly selling cannabis.
He also regularly took part in other criminal activities including robbery and car theft, although he was only arrested once after contraband was found in a car he was driving.
In 2013, during an attempted robbery on his 21st birthday, 21 Savage was shot six times by rival gang members and his best friend Johnny was killed.

Following the death of his friend in a shootout on his 21st birthday, 21 Savage began rapping.
His music career was originally subsidized by his deceased friend’s uncle, who gave him money for studio time in 2013.

It was later included on his debut mixtape, The Slaughter Tape, which was released on May 25, 2015.
