Read on for Shawty Bae’s age, early life, and rise to fame.
The Early Life of Shawty Bae

Jasmine was raised in a family with challenging living situations. Her parents, both of Ecuadorian descent, separated when she was only 2 years old. The separation left her, her two brothers, and one sister under the care of her mother.
Despite that, Jasmine had a good upbringing. In her own words, she was raised in a culturally rich house surrounded by Latin music and dance moves—something that would inspire her TikTok endeavors later on.
Jasmine apparently attended Spring Lake Park High School, but no more information is available about her education. Chances are, she didn’t pursue a college degree after graduating from high school. She now resides in Los Angeles, California.
Shawty Bae’s Rise to Fame
Shawty Bae found her footing in the TikTok world around 2020, a year when a lot of influencers kickstarted their careers and TikTok made its way to everyone’s phones.
Right in the middle of the lockdown, Shawty Bate started to share lip sync and dancing videos, quickly growing a fan base due to her quirky personality.
Her first videos didn’t make a huge impact, but as she kept posting videos, she started gaining traction.

Over time, she started collaborating with fellow TikTokers, including Charli D’Amelio, Alejandro Rosario, and Troy Zarba. She also went on a livestream once with Grammy winner Kali Uchis, gaining even more attention.
Fans are apparently fans of her slang, where she adds ‘ness’ to words, saying some things like “I’m so richness.” They also love her sense of humor, which causes her to be the main character of many viral memes.
Shawty Bae’s Challenging Medical Condition
Behind the scenes of her quick rise to fame, Shawty Bae, or Jasmine, has been struggling with a medical condition called Bell’s Palsy. The common condition causes sudden paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of the face.
Some of its symptoms include difficulty making facial expressions, like smiling or closing one eye. It can also cause facial drooping and general challenges with facial movements.

The disease is fairly common, affecting 1 in 60 people at some point in their lives. However, that doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.
Luckily, Shawty Bae has found that sharing her struggles with her fans makes it easier to accept her condition. She’s been pushing people with similar conditions to embrace their uniqueness and look at their lives from a positive perspective.
What Is Shawty Bae up to Now?
Apparently, being a TikTok personality isn’t enough for Shawty Bae. She recently launched her own merchandise line, selling hoodies and T-shirts featuring her casual style. She even launched a website, but it’s currently down, so maybe it’s going through some updates.
If you’re interested, you can get Shawty’s merch from her business Instagram account, Shop Shawty Bae. Most of the collection is currently out of stock, though.

Her collection is yet to include products other than hoodies, sweatshirts, t-shirts, and hats, but with the rate she’s going, she may be adding more products to the lineup soon.
Shawty Bae Between Rumors and Truths
As a fairly popular social media personality, Shawty Bae was the main character of some rumors issued by fans.
One particularly funny rumor had it that the TikToker was dating fellow social media personality Willito. However, Shawty later revealed that the rumor was merely a result of a misunderstood joke, where she said that she was dating Willito in her head.
Another odd rumor had it that Shawty had a young son called Jose. It spread around after the TikToker released a series of videos with a young boy who she playfully referred to as her son.
