Early life and education
Shayk Weiss, born Khadimou Rassoul Cheikh Fall on September 10, 1998 in Harlem, New York, is a talented rapper and songwriter. He grew up in a Muslim family whose parents immigrated to the United States from Senegal. His father worked as a tailor in Harlem, despite his limited English skills.
At age five, he moved with his mother to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he spent nine years before returning to New York at age 14. Throughout his troubled childhood, music became a way for Farr to cope with the challenges of his environment.
Despite his love of basketball, which was his primary interest in high school, Sheck Wes caught the eye of a fashion scout who convinced him to skip a playoff game to attend the Yeezy Season 3 launch at Madison Square Garden — a pivotal moment that marked the beginning of his rise to fame as a rapper.
Thanks to Interscope Records, Sheck Wes is now signed to Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack and Kanye West’s GOOD Music labels, where he continues to showcase his unique musical style.
Personal life
In January 2019, Ridge Productions accused Sheck Wes of failing to pay them for the video for his upcoming single Mudboy. In retaliation, the company released an edited version of the video with replaced audio, mocking him and his entourage for failing to uphold their contract.
The following month, Sheck Wes was photographed stalking his ex-girlfriend Justine Skye. This disturbing allegation was backed up by his high school classmates, who claimed he had displayed abusive behavior towards other women in the past.
In April 2019, Sheck Wes began dating India Love, and the two had a high-profile fight in June 2020. India Love posted a photo with a black eye on social media, suggesting that he abused her after their breakup, which he strongly denied.
Due to the serious allegations, Sheck Wes was removed from promotional activities for Major League Soccer and Justine Skye reportedly requested a restraining order against him. Rapper GoldLink publicly rebuked and criticized his abuse allegations, and Sheck Wes was subsequently arrested in New York in May 2020 on drug and gun charges.
Profession
In early 2018, Sheck Wes was picked up by Kanye West’s GOOD Music and Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Records. Soon after, he appeared alongside Travis Scott on “No Bystanders,” a song from the hitmaker’s critically acclaimed third studio album, Astroworld.
On October 2 of the same year, the rising star announced the release of his debut studio album, Mudboy, amidst the cheers of his many fans. True to Sheck Wes’ style, he released the album three days later, leaving his fans hungry for more.
A few months later, in March 2019, Sheck Wes continued his music career with a new single titled YKTS, which was released on the same record label as his debut album. After the launch of Mudboy, he shared that he is already working on his second studio album, proving his unrelenting dedication to music.
The young rapper kept up his momentum throughout the year, opening for Eminem at a show in Hawaii in January 2019, and then dropping two new songs, “Sadio Mané” and “Losing My Mind,” on July 18.
The next day, Sheck Wes appeared on Chase B and Young Thug’s Mayday. He then capped off the year by recording a music video for YKTS on October 31, and later appeared as a guest on the JackBoys’ Cactus Jack compilation.
In November 2020, Sheck Wes released “Rich One Day” and a few days later, he released #BeenBallin. His second single, a collaboration with Yak Gotti and Yung Kayo from YSL Records’ “Slime Language 2”, produced by Young Thug and Gunna, titled GFU, was released in January 2021.
Outside of music, Shayk Weiss made headlines when he announced his participation in the 2020 NBA Draft on Instagram on November 18, 2020, although he was not selected. Despite this, he was offered a spot on LNB Pro A team Paris Basket, officially signing with the team on May 10, 2021, and making his debut on May 28, playing 4 minutes.
