Shallipopi Reveals Maltreatment by Fellow Nigerian Artists

Nigerian singer Crown Uzama, popularly known as Shallipopi, expressed his frustrations regarding the treatment he has received from fellow artists in the music industry. In a post, he mentioned that many Nigerian artists have "poured spit" on his face, indicating a lack of support and respect within the industry.

Shallipopi's comments reflect his belief that the industry is not a safe space for artists, particularly those trying to break into the mainstream. He gained significant attention in 2023 with his viral song that featured a remix by prominent artists Zlatan and Fireboy DML, which helped to solidify his stardom.

Shallipopi's rise to fame was marked by his internet sensation status, particularly after the song's release in October 2023. He also acknowledged that Zlatan played a crucial role in revitalizing his career by providing support without charge.
