Career

Having debuted with the studio album Tempo anima in January 2017, [2] Shiva's 2020 single "Auto blu" featuring Eiffel 65 peaked number 1 of FIMI's single chart for three weeks. [3]

On 10 January 2024 the single "Milano Shotta Freestyle" was released, while Shiva was in prison. On May 22 the single "First Day Out" was released during house arrest. [4]

On 28 August 2024, thanks to a special judicial permission amid trials, he published the single "Take 5" after the judge originally did not allow him to release music during his sentence. On 3 September he announced the release of his sixth studio album called Milano Angels which came out only three days later, on 6 September, with both international and Italian collaborations, such as Paky, Tedua, Geolier, Mondo Marcio  [ it ], NLE Choppa, Lil Tjay, Tony Boy and Kid Yugi and many other rappers.

Personal life

Shiva has two sons from his relationship with Laura Maisano, born in December 2023 and September 2025, respectively. In November 2025, he welcomed his third son, born to a different woman. [5]

Judicial proceedings

On the evening of 11 July 2023, Shiva was attacked in the courtyard of his record company by two young people belonging to rapper Rondodasosa's crew; [6] after suffering a blow with a brass knuckle that fractured his jaw, Shiva fired four gunshots towards the attackers, wounding them in the legs. [7] [8] On 26 October 2023 Shiva was arrested for attempted murder, illegal possession of weapons (including two machetes and a compressed air gun) and receiving stolen goods. [9] On 21 February 2024, after four months of detention at the San Vittore prison, the judge, after preliminary investigations, relaxed the precautionary measure, granting him house arrest. [10] On 10 July he was sentenced at first instance by the Court of Milan to a sentence of 6+1⁄2 years in prison. [11] He was ultimately convicted of attempted murder, but negotiated the revocation of his house arrest by March 2025. [12]
