“What Influences Me to Do Music Is Hardship.” – Shallipopi
Nigerian singer Crown Uzama, who is better known by his stage name Shallipopi, recently revealed that although he is often seen with cigarettes in his photos and videos, he does not actually smoke.
He explained that his use of cigarettes is purely for aesthetic purposes and not for consumption.
In a candid interview with Soundcity, Shallipopi shared that many of his fans may not know this fact about him.
He emphasized that smoking is not part of his lifestyle, but rather a choice for visual appeal.
“One thing that my fans don’t know about me is that I don’t smoke.
It’s just aesthetics,” Shallipopi said, shedding light on the reality behind his image.
When asked about what motivates his music career, Shallipopi pointed to the struggles and challenges of life in Nigeria as his primary inspiration.
He expressed that the hardships faced by many in the country drive him to pursue music as a means of escape and expression.
“What influences me to do music is hardship. You don’t want to go through hardship in this country,” he confessed.
Shallipopi, known for his hit single ‘Oba Pluto,’ has been making headlines in the Nigerian music scene with his unique blend of Afrobeat and street cultural vibes.
Nigerian actor Jim Iyke has spoken about his marriage and why it ended.
The actor revealed he was going through emotional struggles that affected his relationship with his wife and home.
He said “I lost my spark, and my wife suffered for it. And then I became an obsessive dad. I gave everything in me to my son. I was a proper stay-at-home dad.”
“I became an excellent father but a woeful husband. After a while, she said, ‘I can’t find the man I married anymore.’”
Bruno Fernandes, captain of Manchester United, has explained why he turned down a contract offer from Saudi Arabia.

He added that his wife has supported his journey since he was young.
Nigerian social media influencer and personality GehGeh has called out youths for not speaking up against security challenges in Nigeria.
He took to social media and compared the situation with South Africa, saying:
“See how South African people came out to carry out a mission and their government supported them quietly. You see their police force supporting them too.”
“But here in Nigeria, our police are looking for yahoo boys and private chef girls, and the youths are not even ready to stand up to take back their country from these evil politicians.”
