Swae Lee is a prominent American rapper, best known as one half of the hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd, alongside his brother Slim Jxmmi.
Khalif Malik Ibn Shaman Brown, professionally known as Swae Lee, was born on June 7, 1993, in Inglewood, California. His family later moved to Tupelo, Mississippi, where he and his brothers were raised in the Ida Street housing projects, an area noted for its challenging living conditions.
During their upbringing, Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi experienced family instability, including the separation of their parents. For a time, they reportedly lived in abandoned homes, facing significant adversity. Music became an important outlet during these difficult years. The brothers looked up to Mississippi-born rapper and producer David Banner, who served as an inspiration for their artistic aspirations.
Swae Lee’s journey in music began with his brother and friend Jemiah Middlebrooks when they formed the hip-hop group Dem Outta St8 Boyz. The trio gained local recognition, but Lee and his brother soon parted ways with Middlebrooks to pursue a career as a duo.
In 2013, the brothers signed with EarDrummers Entertainment under the name Rae Sremmurd—“EarDrummers” spelled backward. Their debut studio album, SremmLife (2015), was a commercial success, followed by SremmLife 2 (2016). The latter featured their breakout single “Black Beatles” with Gucci Mane, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved multi-platinum certification.
Their popularity continued to rise with hits such as “Toss Sum Mo,” featuring Nicki Minaj and Young Thug. Known for his melodic style and songwriting, Swae Lee also found solo success. He appeared on French Montana’s hit “Unforgettable” in 2017, which further boosted his profile. As of recent estimates, Swae Lee's net worth is in the multi-million dollar range, primarily driven by music streaming, touring, and songwriting credits.
Swae Lee has kept much of his private life and relationships out of the public eye. While he occasionally shares glimpses of his life on social media, he has not publicly confirmed any long-term or high-profile relationships in recent years.
In January 2020, a tragic event struck Swae Lee’s family. Their stepfather, Floyd Sullivan, was fatally shot in Tupelo, Mississippi. Authorities confirmed that Sullivan died from multiple gunshot wounds. At the time of the incident, Michael Brown, Swae Lee’s half-brother, was taken into custody for evaluation concerning the situation.
According to Tupelo Police Captain Charles McDougald, Michael was considered a person of interest and was being held for a mental health assessment. The motive behind the shooting remained unclear, as the investigation was ongoing.
In response to the tragedy, Swae Lee shared a heartfelt message on social media: “I pray this world lets me keep some compassion.” His emotional post sparked speculation, but he did not elaborate further.
