Sheck Wes Facts
- He had mentioned in an interview that he had grown up in a ‘hostile environment’ and he had started recording music at the age of 11 to release the pent-up stress.
- When he had reached high school, the sport of basketball had also become another outlet to channel his energy. During this time, he was spotted by a fashion talent scout, under whose influence he had skipped a basketball playoff game to participate in the unveiling of the season 3 collection of Adidas Yeezy sneakers at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City.
- In January 2019, the video production and media agency Ridge Productions had claimed that Sheck had refused to pay them for the creation of a music video for his album Mudboy. The company had later released the original edit of the video wherein the subtitled audio had dissed Sheck for unilaterally abandoning their agreement.
