Award-winning British rapper 21 Savage is famous for his sick lyrics and mysterious charm. But when it comes to discussing his private life, most especially his marital status, the rapper is usually more reserved…well, that was until late last year when eagle-eyed social media sleuths spotted an intriguing Instagram post revealing that 21 Savage is indeed married.
Now, everyone is clamoring to know: Who is 21 Savage’s wife? And if the British rapper is married, is there any truth to the rumors about him and Latto being an item?
Here’s what we’ve uncovered about the ‘A Lot’ rapper’s wife, along with everything you need to know about 21 Savage and Latto.
Who Is 21 Savage’s Wife? All About Keyanna Joseph
There’s not much information about 21 Savage’s wife, Keyanna Joseph. However, according to her Instagram account @keyanna_nukee (which she’s made private), Keyanna is a natural-born U.S citizen, a loving mother of two, and an independent, self-employed beauty entrepreneur.
She is CEO and founder of Beauty by Nukee, a beauty company that offers a variety of cosmetic and skincare products. It’s currently unclear if her two kids are 21 Savage’s since the rapper also has kids from previous relationships.
There is no verified report on when the rapper married Keyanna. But in May 2023, fans unearthed an Instagram post of 21 Savage and his wife enjoying a date night.
In the photo, Keyanna is seen having a drink at a restaurant while the ‘No Heart’ rapper’s phone is apparently in plain sight, with text that reads ‘date night’ with heart emojis. Hence, social media in-laws concluded that they were hitched.
Furthermore, there have been unconfirmed reports suggesting that the ‘American Dream’ artist married Keyanna Joseph to solve his immigration issues. Despite being raised in Atlanta, Georgia, the rapper lacks official U.S. citizenship recognition, leading to legal complications with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Under U.S. Immigration law, a non-citizen married to a citizen living in the United States is eligible for a marriage-based green card within 12 to 22 months.

The timeline of Keyanna Joseph and 21 Savage’s relationship is shrouded in mystery, particularly because it overlaps with his past romances.
Reports from 21Ninety suggest the rapper and Keyanna tied the knot in 2020, but details are scarce. Keep in mind that in February 2019, 21 Savage encountered legal issues related to overstaying his visa.
Some sources claim that 21 Savage and Keyanna began dating in 2011, implying a relationship spanning over 13 years.
However, their history is complex, with 21 Savage being linked to Amber Rose from 2017 to 2018.
Before Amber Rose, the rapper was briefly associated with model Heather Rose, preceded by Tommie Lee in 2016 and Rubi Rose in 2014. He certainly had a thing for the Roses.
The Lowdown On 21 Savage’s Wife And Latto Drama
Get your glass because this is where the tea is.
Not long after 21 Savage and Keyanna supposedly married, rumors started swirling around about the British rapper’s involvement with fellow rapper Latto.
By December 2020, speculation was rife, with fans avidly scanning social media for any signs of their alleged relationship.
Things took a dramatic turn in April 2021 when Latto posted a seemingly innocent vacation photo, prompting fans to speculate that 21 Savage was behind the camera. Allegedly, the silhouette of the photographer, particularly the hairstyle, resembled that of 21 Savage. Latto’s suggestive caption, “He loves it here,” only fueled the speculation, intensifying the already buzzing rumors.

The same year, 21 Savage made a massive blunder when he posted and deleted a photo of Latto on his IG Story that read, ‘No makeup, damn you fine. It’s only one way I can come about, you twin,’ complete with heart eyes and a crying laughing face emoji.
The two have also been spotted at each other’s birthday parties, giving the social media in-laws more armor.
However, the smoking gun came when celebrity blog site Say Cheese revealed that Latto had gotten a new tattoo behind her ear, bearing the name ‘Sheyaa.’ 21 Savage’s birth name is Sheyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph.

And while the ‘Big Energy’ rapper vehemently denied the allegations, stating, ‘No, I’ve said I’m not plenty of times,’ that tattoo seemed to be the final straw for Keyanna.

In September 2023, news surfaced that Keyanna Joseph had initiated divorce proceedings against 21 Savage, citing ‘unsolvable issues.’
The ‘Savage Mode’ rapper remained silent in response to inquiries about the divorce, but his social media activity hinted at his feelings.
Posting what appeared to be less-than-cryptic messages, he expressed anger and frustration with lines like ‘Trust nobody,’ ‘Love is a lie,’ and ‘I’m done with this shit.’
Additionally, he unfollowed Latto and removed all traces of their shared moments from his profile.
While some fans rallied behind 21 Savage, others condemned his alleged infidelity and perceived disrespect towards his wife. Questions regarding the legitimacy of the marriage also arose, especially since 21 Savage never publicly acknowledged it.
The impact of the divorce on 21 Savage’s career and personal life remains uncertain. However, he seems to be channeling his emotions into his music, with his track ‘Savage Mode III’ featuring lyrics that some interpret as addressing his split from Keyanna Joseph.
‘She said she love me, but she lied / She took my heart and left me dry / She want my money and my fame / She don’t care about my pain…she think she slick but she ain’t / She think she got me, but she don’t / She think she won, but she lost / She think she smart but she dumb.’
Furthermore, the British rapper has been reconnecting with his family, including his four children from previous relationships. Whether he is romantically involved with anyone new or still harbors feelings for Latto remains undisclosed.
