What is the birth name of rapper 21 Savage?

The birth name of 21 Savage is Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph. He was born in London, England, and later moved to the Atlanta area, where he developed his musical career and became closely associated with Atlanta’s rap scene.

Abraham-Joseph began releasing music in the early 2010s and gained wider attention through projects including Savage Mode, his collaborative EP with Metro Boomin. His stage name, 21 Savage, became widely known before many listeners learned that he was British-born rather than born in Georgia.

The name is sometimes presented with slightly different capitalization or accent treatment in media, but Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph is the canonical full name used in biographical references. Atlanta is his artistic home and origin, not his birthplace. The other options are unrelated names: Lil Baby and Sheck Wes are different rappers, while Shaquille O’Neal is a basketball legend and entertainer.
