Shallipopi Critiques Fellow Artists for Lack of Support
Nigerian singer Crown Uzama, popularly known as Shallipopi, has publicly voiced his frustrations regarding the treatment he has received from fellow artists in the music industry. He metaphorically described their actions as "pouring spit on my face," indicating feelings of betrayal and a lack of support.
Shallipopi's rise to fame began with his viral hit "Elon Musk," followed by a remix featuring Zlatan Ibile and Fireboy DML, which solidified his position in the Nigerian music scene. He acknowledged the support he received from veteran artist Zlatan Ibile in October 2023, who played a crucial role in boosting his career without any charge.
Shallipopi's comments reflect the challenges faced by emerging artists in the competitive landscape of the Nigerian music industry as he prepares for the upcoming 2023-2024 music season.
