All Grown up: How Old Is Jermaine Dupri’s Daughter Shaniah Mauldin Today?
By Marcus Vance
Shaniah Mauldin was born on May 15, 1998, in Atlanta, Georgia. That puts her at 27 years old in early 2026, heading into her 28th birthday this spring. Her birth occurred right as Jermaine Dupri was cementing his status as an industry powerhouse, hot off defining releases for Kris Kross, Xscape, Da Brat, and Usher.
Online confusion about her age surfaced during the mid-2010s when she joined the reality television circuit. Speculative entertainment blogs regularly misdated her birth year between 1995 and 2000. However, public records and milestone family celebrations, such as Dupri marking her landmark 21st birthday in Atlanta alongside close friends in May 2019, confirmed her timeline. Growing up in the cultural nucleus of Atlanta hip hop, she observed the recording industry's golden era from an insider perspective few people ever witness.
