In 2006, he earned the role of Malik Payne on the TBS sitcom, Tyler Perry's House of Payne. Shaw's character, Malik, is introduced as a witty preteen whose antics often get him in unintentional trouble.[2] As he grows into a young adult, he is given more mature storylines, and by the ninth season - he is expecting his first child with his live-in girlfriend.

He was a presenter at the 39th annual NAACP Image Awards ceremony in 2008.[3]

He joined the cast of Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life on Deck for the show's second season which began airing on August 7, 2009, although he did not make his debut until the episode "Roomies," which aired on October 16, 2009. He played Marcus Little, a former Grammy Award winner whose career ended after his record label dumped him. On August 20, 2010, Shaw made his final appearance in The Suite Life on Deck.
