He has a daughter, Rijalda (b. 1989), who married in 2012.[2]
He is the paternal uncle of well-known singer Dado Polumenta, whose career he helped launch.
At early stage of his career he used to sing in Serbian Ekavian dialect which was uncommon for his homeland Montenegro but that made him gain wide popularity.

Šakib becomes more famous after sex scandal where he had relationship with younger woman where media researched that she was 16 years old, at that time. It was a huge scandal where he almost lost his career as a pedophile.[3] Later on he was published in Serbian and Montenegrin media as very sloppy singer when his rented apartment was left with garbage in front of his doors for 4 days. He began insulting his neighbours for that, but later on he cleaned the building and garbage.[4]
