Khadimou Rassoul Cheikh Fall (born September 10, 1998), better known as Sheck Wes, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and model.[1] He is best known for his 2017 song "Mo Bamba", which went viral in 2018.[2]

Wes is jointly signed to Travis Scott's Cactus Jack and Kanye West's GOOD Music record labels, under the aegis of Interscope Records.[3][4]

Early life

Khadimou Fall was born on September 10, 1998 in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City to parents of Senegalese descent. At age 5, Wes and his mother moved to Milwaukee, where he lived for 9 years. At 14, Wes moved back to New York.[5]

Fall began making music at age 11, to relieve stress due to his troubled childhood as he was raised in a hostile environment. While in high school, basketball became a major extracurricular pursuit, but he attracted interest from a fashion talent scout, leading him to skipping a playoff game to participate in the Madison Square Garden unveiling of the Yeezy Season 3 collection.[6]

Controversy

On January 31, 2019, Ridge Productions claimed Wes had refused to pay for the video for his forthcoming single "Mudboy". Ridge Productions posted the original edit of the video, with substituted audio mocking Wes and his crew for reneging on their agreement.[7][8]

In February 2019, Wes was accused of stalking and domestic abuse by his former partner, the singer Justine Skye.[9][10] Wes was removed from an advertising campaign for Major League Soccer in response to the allegations.[11] Skye was subsequently reported to have requested a restraining order against Wes.[12][13] Wes has denied the allegations and no charges were ever brought forward.[9]
