Xavier Beard (born October 24, 1992), known professionally as Xavier Wulf and formerly Ethelwulf, is an American rapper and songwriter from Memphis, Tennessee.

Career[edit]

Beard joined the musical collective Raider Klan in 2012 and initially released music under the name Ethelwulf, and released his debut mixtape, "The Wolf Gang’s Rodolphe" under the name Ethelwulf the same year. In 2013, he left Raider Klan and changed his stage name to Xavier Wulf. [2] He released his first full-length album in 2015, titled Project X.[1]

In 2020, Beard released a collaborative album, BRACE, with Bones, followed by Bennington Forest with Idontknowjeffery, a fellow rapper from Memphis. He was also featured on Denzel Curry's mixtape 13lood 1n + 13lood Out Mixx that year.[3][4] He also recorded the song "Don't Touch the Remote" with producer Marcelo for the TV channel Adult Swim in 2020.[5]

In October 2022, Beard's song "Psycho Pass" from his 2014 mixtape Blood Shore Season 2 was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.[6]

In 2023, Beard announced he would be part of the InLovingMemory Tour alongside Bones and Eddy Baker, Drew the Architect, Cat Soup, and Deergod.[7]

Personal life[edit]

Beard is known for his involvement and interest in the car scene, especially car tuning and the drift scene.

Domestic abuse allegations[edit]

On March 12, 2024, Beard's former girlfriend of 5 years took to the subreddit r/TeamSESH on Reddit to accuse him of sexual assault, animal abuse, domestic violence, as well as his excessive usage of the drugs MDMA, cocaine, and lean. Beard's ex, who goes by u/Gianyasami on the platform, claims that the two of them had a serious relationship for five years starting in September 2018, which took a turn for the worse in December 2018. One of his former friends and designers, who goes by the username u/Anglicfilths, later came forward to back up her claims.[8]
