21 Savage Has 3 Kids & Loves Being a Superhero to Them
21 Savage's three kids are spoiled with luxurious items. Unlike most children, they don't have a bedtime and can do anything they want. The rapper wants them to see him as a hero rather than a role model and hopes they never endure the life he once had.
At a young age, 21 Savage had already conquered several challenges, including a near-fatal shooting on his 21st birthday.
Born Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, 21 Savage is now a father to three children he loves and adores. Like many dads, he only wants the best for his little ones, even if it means going against parenting norms.

21 Savage's Kids Know What a Luxurious Life Is
Born one year apart, 21 Savage's children, Kamari, Ashaad, and Rhian, have been living lavishly. The "Creepin'" singer does not have a limit when spending for his family and often buys them the most expensive things.
Once, the doting father spent a whopping $40,000 at a Gucci store for Kamari, Ashaad, and Rhian's clothing. Despite his success, 21 Savage continues to dream big and is working to leave a massive fortune for his offspring. He said:
"I wanna leave behind a plane and a big [expletive] house. Owned 100 percent, and I wanna have a company, an establishment that's making a lot of money."
Besides the material wealth, 21 Savage also wants to leave his kids with good memories with him. He enjoys spending time with them at home, shooting hoops or watching cartoons. Unlike most parents, 21 Savage allows his children to watch television all night and snack on candy.
"I want to be more like a superhero than a role model," he said. The artist is well aware of how much he is spoiling his children, and although many parents advise otherwise, he would rather have them playing video games until five in the morning and enjoying their childhood.
Unfortunately, 21 Savage's children aren't the friendliest. In fact, he described them as "mean" in an interview and took it back.

In 2019, 21 Savage made headlines for allegedly overstaying his welcome in the US as a British citizen. He made it known, however, that all three of his kids are US citizens.
The Private Life of 21 Savage's Kids
Besides his interviews, 21 Savage likes keeping his personal life private. However, he sometimes appears at public events with his two sons, including the 4th Annual Issa Back 2 School Drive in August 2019, the Chicago Bulls vs. Atlanta Hawks game in December 2022, and the 2023 NBA All-Star game.
His daughter has yet to appear in public with her famous father. He once shared he felt more protective when it came to his daughter. He wants to set a standard for the kind of treatment his daughter would allow from other men one day.
In the past years, 21 Savage only shared photos of his little princess. A video of her rejoicing while watching 21 Savage on television made rounds online.
He also posts snaps with his other kids, calling them his source of "motivation." Based on his Instagram, 21 Savage's children are all close to him.
21 Savage Does Charity Work for Kids
Many may not agree with 21 Savage's parenting ways, but there is no denying the rapper has a kind heart for children. In 2020, he made several kids happy by taking on the role of Secret Santa in Georgia, Atlanta.
He also created a bank account to help children save for their future since financial planning was often a difficult lesson to learn.
21 Savage came from a background filled with poverty, violence, and crime. He began his music career in 2015 and slowly became known in the music scene. Like him, other artists spoil their children, including Bryson Tiller.
